Flashback Art Fair Turns 10, Moves to New Turin Hub
From November 3 to 6, 2022, with a preview on November 2, the tenth edition of Flashback, the Turin fair dedicated to ancient and modern art, will take place at Flashback Habitat, located at Corso Lanza 75. The event is hosted in a 20,000 sqm area, which includes a park of 11,000 sqm and four structures built between 1892 and 1896. Previously known as the Sanatrix Clinic, which opened in 1932 and was left vacant in 2013, the venue is under temporary use until June 2023, granted by the City of Turin and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. Artistic director Alessandro Bulgini has envisioned the space as an "ideal habitat," showcasing 34 international galleries and three curated exhibitions, such as "Opera viva Barriera di Milano" and "Cuba introspettiva."
