G@P
4-8 NOVEMBER 2015
Corso Massimo d'Azeglio 15
Torino, Italy
The G@P- Galleries at Paratissima - opens during
Paratissima, an off event of Artissima international fair of contemporary art, as a self-standing event focusing on Contemporary Art Galleries.
Thirty galleries, of the Italian and international artistic scenes, will have
the opportunity to exhibit and sell low-budget artworks, with the intent to
draw the interest of young people and budding collectors, its hallmark.
Paratissima 2014 had a record 82,000
visitors: it now intends to establish itself as an international off-event open
to a passionate and curious audience, including Art Galleries as well as young
and creative talents.
G@P intends to fill in a gap between a
more institutional, selective and oriented Art Fair aimed at elite collectors,
and others Fairs exclusively reserved to young art galleries.
G@P intends to create a space where
affordable artworks are offered in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
The eleventh edition of Paratissima takes
place from November 4th-8th, 2015 and for the second time in the scenic Torino
Esposizioni Building, at Valentino park.
The event is enriched with special
projects provided by Paratissima in collaboration with various companies and
associations, projects considered particular for their quality and significance
as well as exhibitions that host internationally renowned artists.
Educational areas, laboratories and
workshops are taking on a key role in the event in order to trigger an active
participation, a connection between the public and young artists during the
five days of event.
Artists’ exhibitions, shows and
performances have as a common objective interaction between environment and
society- just one of the particularities of Paratissima.
All this is thanks to the informal,
welcoming and open-minded environment that Paratissima has towards new projects
with a different perspective on all forms of social-cultural art.
