Artissima 2020 Goes Digital with Virtual Tours and Online Platform
The 27th edition of Artissima, the art fair held in Turin, has been transformed in response to the pandemic, introducing a digital format along with exhibitions throughout the city. Launched on November 3, 2020, the cross-media platform Artissima XYZ will be accessible until January 9, 2021, featuring three distinct sections: Present Future, Back to the Future, and Disegni. Ilaria Bonacossa, the director, highlighted the fair's commitment to cultural engagement. Beginning November 14, 2020, virtual tours of the Stasi Frenetica exhibitions are available through a partnership with Artland. Curator-led video tours will start on November 25, and guided Zoom tours are set for Thursdays at 6:30 PM until December 3, 2020. Additionally, FOLLE presents an online photographic exhibition featuring 26 images from 1930 to 1980.
