G@P
6-10 NOVEMBER 2013

The G@P- Galleries were first opened in 2013 during Paratissima, as a self standing event focussing 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.

The space reserved to G@P is within the historic setting of the former MOI, which is beside the Oval, where Artissima, the internationally renowned Contemporary Art Fair of Torino held during the same week. Paratissima 2012 had a record 100,000 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 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 wel- coming environment.

The ninth edition of Paratissima– PIX takes place from November 6th-10th, 2013 and for the second time in the scenic ex-MOI arches, in Borgo Filadelfia.
It started as an off event of Artissima – international fair of contemporary art.
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.

For this IX edition at the ex-MOI, Paratissima is also supporting the Awareness Campaign initiated in 2012 which turns degradation factors of the neighborhood in attraction elements. These include reclassifying shutters of closed –up shops of Piazza Galimberti into street art canvises and reopening once closed spaces in order to initiate interaction with the environment, even if only virtualy.
