ArtVerona 2026: Focus Corea, InterFiera, and City-Wide Interventions
ArtVerona 2026, under director Laura Lamonea, introduces Focus Corea, the fair's first section dedicated to Korean modern and contemporary art, in collaboration with AWave (Asia Art Wave). The section spans painting, installation, video, and performance, with off-site K-Art, K-Stage, K-Food, and K-Culture events across Verona. Another novelty is InterFiera, curated by Maria Marinelli, which connects Veronafiere's major trade shows—Vinitaly, Marmomac, Fieracavalli—with the contemporary art system, fostering synergies between stone, wine, and manufacturing industries and galleries. The fair's visual identity is designed by Alessio D'Ellena (Superness), inspired by Dick Higgins's concept of Intermedia. The exhibition layout includes five sections: Main Section, Effetto Sauna (Fuori dalle parentesi) curated by Thomas Ba, Pittura (ORA) curated by Leonardo Regano, STILL [per(formare) lo sguardo] curated by Giovanna Manzotti, and an editorial section. City-wide projects feature Dora García's Líneas de Tiempo at Palazzo Forti, Luca Trevisani at Sala Morone, Marinella Senatore's site-specific installation for Fondazione Cariverona, and a loan of Picasso's Suite des Saltimbanques. At Galleria d'Arte Moderna Achille Forti, vis-à-vis presents Regina José Galindo's Limbo, a video of her 2005 Golden Lion-winning performance. The fair runs at Veronafiere, with 143 exhibitors, and aims to deepen relationships within the art system rather than simply expand.
