Artissima 2016 recommendations, Nov 3 – 6

31 October 2016

The Artissima international fair of contemporary art is taking place at various locations across Turin, running from November 3 to 6.

Now in its 23rd edition, the renowned project brings together 193 galleries from 34 countries, and is host to over 52,000 visitors. Directed by Sarah Cosulich, this year’s Main Section of the fair will be held at the Oval in the glass pavilion that was originally built for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.

The fair is split into seven sections: The Main Section, which includes 105 carefully selected galleries, Back to the Future, focussing on the re-discovery of avant-garde works, Present Future, dedicated to emerging artists, Per4m, devoted exclusively to performance art, New Entries for emerging galleries, and Art Editions, which hosts limited prints and editions, as well as Dialogue, a section for specific commissioned projects.

Thomas Bayrle @ dépendance, Sep 11 – Oct 17

9 September 2015

European Pop and media art pioneer Thomas Bayrle presents a solo exhibition at Brussels’ dépendance, opening September 11 and running to October 17.

Described as “the perfect unknown artist” the serial repetition of Bayrle’s defining 60s works as an emerging Minimalist in graphic art is still active. He’s a Frankfurt-based artist who is and was both art producer and Professor at the Städelschule from 1975 to 2007, and employs methods and media that present a critical engagement with new visual languages that respond to the contemporary moment.

See the dépendance website for details.**
