The Others Fair Moves to Ex-Hospital in Turin for 2018 Edition

The Others, Italy's self-styled leading independent art fair, is moving to the former Regina Maria Adelaide Hospital in Turin for its 2018 edition, which will take place from November 1 to 4. This unique venue includes original operating rooms and areas used by surgeons. Founder Roberto Casiraghi raises questions about the significance of art fairs in the Instagram era, pondering the importance of live emotional experiences. Over 40 galleries will participate, with 60% coming from abroad, marking a shift from past years. The fair collaborates with Gambero Rosso, and its curatorial board, headed by Bruno Barsanti, features members like Alejandro Alonso Diaz and the collective SUPERDEALS. A new segment, Expanded Screen, will showcase video installations. The fair aims to keep costs low for both exhibitors and attendees, benefiting the Borgo Rossini neighborhood and aiding in the preservation of the dilapidated hospital.
