Once again this year, the team made up of Artissima, Paratissima, The Others and FlashBack animates Turin’s Art Week.

Paratissima, with ‘Art in the City’, is showing works by emerging artists in 70 public venues and shops mainly around Via Po.

‘Artissima in the City’ extends the opportunities for meetings, events and gallery visits outside the Oval Lingotto venue.

Thanks to the two events, the number of exhibition venues and subjects involved multiplies. Not only specialised institutions and galleries but more than one hundred occasional venues host events and works from both events.

In parallel, The Others and FlashBack revitalise the spaces of the former Riberi Hospital and Pala Alpitour, with two market fairs aimed at professionals and the general public.

So, at the beginning of November, we will wander through a large ‘suq’ of works and events, illuminated by the ‘Luci d’artista’, relocated and lit as usual for the occasion.

To help one move through this ‘Art Gallery Town’, to make each exhibiting artist stand out, to remind one that Turin is all around in all its seduction, a reasoned map is needed. AtlasFor, which in the spring has already activated a story through images of the centre of Turin, is dedicating a dossier to the events; thus, from Thursday 31 October, the TO.Art Week archive will be the first of the ‘featured maps’ on the per:

A. Present ‘a bird’s eye view’ of the venues of the major events and the magnificent city that hosts them

B. Mark on the map, particularly with the Paratissima ‘ART IN THE CITY’ tag, each showcase outside the central venues, highlighting both the artists involved and each event located in the city, also by means of a calendar;

C. Highlight on the map the location of events, off galleries and initiatives with the ARTISSIMA IN CITTÀ tags, also correlating them with a calendar that allows their temporal sequence to be followed;

D. to illustrate the fascinating stories of the places that host the various initiatives (from the Accademia Reale to the Riberi Hospital, from the projects for the Oval to the ‘restoration’ of the OGR and the PalaAlpitour refurbishment), enriching the ‘Recent Architectures’ archive, which we have been working on for some time now to recount the projects and interventions that now mark the city centre and suburbs (from Nervi to Piano, from Isola to Pia);

E. to invite you to discover the Turin that is ‘around and next to’ the contemporary art venues: both the Turin that participates in this kermesse of events, such as the LUCI D’ARTISTA (selected by TAG), and the ‘classic’ Turin that has been seducing visitors to the centre for centuries, with its architecture and its stories that go #beyondwhatyousee (archive ‘Turin Itineraries of the Centre’).
