The Others Fair relocates to former hospital in Turin for 2016 edition

The Others art fair moves from a former prison to the ex Ospedale Maria Adelaide in Turin for its 2016 edition, citing visitor safety as the primary reason. Director Roberto Casiraghi explains the shift in an interview with Artribune, noting the fair had exceeded capacity at its previous venue. The new site offers larger exhibition spaces and a courtyard for food and music. Casiraghi also addresses the departure of curator Olga Gambari, who left to launch her own festival Nesxt, and the appointment of a new curatorial committee comprising Bruno Barsanti, Ludovica Capobianco, and Greta Scarpa. He confirms a reduction in funding from CRT without explanation, while support continues from Regione Piemonte, Compagnia di San Paolo, Lavazza, and Basic.net. Casiraghi comments on the political transition in Turin from the Democratic Party to the M5S, noting the resignation of Patrizia Asproni as president of Fondazione Torino Musei and urging patience with the new administration. The fair runs from November 3 to 6, 2016.
