Fondazione Arte CRT to Debut at 2026 Venice Biennale with PASTIS
Fondazione Arte CRT will participate for the first time in the Venice Biennale Arte in 2026 with PASTIS, a hybrid project born in Turin that blends relational art and curatorial format. Curated by Nicolas Ballario, PASTIS originated as an invitation-only "secret breakfast" and has evolved through editions at Arte Fiera, miart, and Artissima. At the Biennale, it will maintain its informal, lateral approach rather than adapting to the event's logic, aiming to create connections among artists, curators, directors, and students outside institutional protocols. The relational core remains central, but in Venice the project takes a further step, transforming into a new exhibition format.
