Arte Fiera, Italy’s oldest Modern and Contemporary Art Show has been the focal point of the country’s art
market for some 42 years. This latest edition will be held from 2 – 5 February with a preview on 1 February.
152 major galleries – a restricted number in the interests of quality - have been selected to turn
BolognaFiere’s Halls 25 and 26 into a huge platform of art and an opportunity to debate modern and
contemporary artistic expression. In addition, some 30 operators from the publishing, graphic art and
creativity sectors bring the total number of exhibitors to 182.
Angela Vettese, now in her second year as Artistic Director of the trade show, continues her curatorial
approach introduced in 2017, encouraging in-depth investigation of individual artists and furthering the
debate on topical art themes.
With its main focus on the choices made by Italian galleries, Arte Fiera 2018 confirms its role as Italy’s
premier national art show, reinforcing its role as a venue for cultural debate and an event that melds
seamlessly with the urban fabric of Bologna, a city renowned as a seat of learning and a seedbed of
experimentation and game-changing developments. Arte Fiera has brought together other key players on the
Bologna scene such as FICO, the Film Library, the Opera House, museums and private foundations, the
University and many private individuals. The Golinelli Foundation, for example, will be at the trade show with
an immersive 3D account of the themes dealt with in the exhibition “Imprevedibile – Preparing for the future
without knowing what it will be like” on show at the Golinelli Arts and Sciences Center until 4 February).
Arte Fiera’s graphic design this year is by Studio Andrea Lancellotti. The underlying theme is that of seeing
through the visitor’s eyes and building a personal itinerary regardless of genres, techniques and trends.
WHAT’S NEW
Arte Fiera 2018 builds on last year’s achievements by adding important new features. On 2 and 3 February,
an international meeting designed by Angela Vettese with Clarissa Ricci entitled “Between Exhibition and
Fair: entre chien et loup”, organized with Venice’s IUAV University and under the aegis of Bologna University,
will consider the increasing hybridization between exhibitions and trade shows, a hot topic but one that
remains still largely unexplored, perhaps on account of the continued resistance of historians, critics, and
theorists to relate art and the market. Developed by Clarissa Ricci, Cristina Baldacci and Camilla
Salvaneschi, the meeting will be attended by academics, artists, critics, curators, editors and other art-
system operators. Speakers include names like Terry Smith, Bruce Altshuler and John Rajchman.
The Main Section includes the new Modernity sub-section providing an in-depth look into new areas. The
term ‘Modernity’ is intended in its original etymological sense as a Latin word signifying ‘means’ rather than
th
our current concept of ‘modernity’ as modern art, i.e. early 20 century art. 11 booths will have small
personal shows of artists deserving greater attention. The underlying idea of Modernity is to lead visitorsthrough a line-up of artists who, although from different periods, countries and artistic movements, have created particularly relevant work, which courageous gallerists were prescient enough to recognize and show. The galleries selected and artists exhibited: Galleria Alessandra Bonomo • Joan Jonas (USA 1936) Galleria Maurizio Corraini• Giosetta Fioroni (Italy 1932) Galleria De’ Foscherari • Gianni Piacentino (Italy 1945) Galleria Umberto di Marino • Eugenio Spinoza (Venezuela 1950) Galleria Six • Terry Atkinson (United Kingdom, 1939) Guastalla Centro Arte • Marino Marini (Italy 1901-1980) Galleria Guidi & Schoen • Olivo Barbieri (Italy 1954) Galleria Michela Rizzo • Martino Genchi (Italy 1982) Nuova Galleria Morone • Maria Lai (Italy 1919-2013) Prometeogallery • Regina José Galindo (Guatemala, 1974) Studio Guastalla • Emilio Isgrò (Italy 1937) Once again the POLIS section reinforces the show’s ties with the city through a series of new initiatives. POLIS / ARTWORKS – a series of installations in splendid, often little-known venues around the city. Curated by Angela Vettese, coordinated by Nicolas Ballario, with the collaboration of some of the galleries exhibiting at Arte Fiera. On show during the trade show days will be: Vito Acconci (USA, 1940-2017) • Osart, Milan Orto Botanico ed Erbario di Bologna Andreco (Italy, 1978) • Traffic, Bergamo Palazzo Poggi Valerio Berruti (Italy 1977) • Marcorossi, Milan, Pietrasanta (LU), Verona Palazzo D’Accursio Alik Cavaliere (Italy 1926-98) • Niccoli, Parma Orto Botanico ed Erbario di Bologna Mario Cresci (Italy 1942) • MLB Maria Livia Brunelli, Ferrara Palazzo D’Accursio Giuseppe De Mattia (Italy 1980) • Matèria, Rome Spazio Carbonesi Sanna Kannisto (Finland 1974) • Metronom, Modena Spazio Carbonesi Luigi Mainolfi (Italy 1948) • Paola Verrengia, Salerno Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna Rachele Maistrello (Italy 1986) • Metronom, Modena Spazio Carbonesi Dennis Oppenheim (USA, 1938-2011) • Montrasio Arte / KM Ø, Milan, Monza (MB) Museo di Palazzo Poggi Luigi Veronesi (Italy 1908-1998) • 10 A.M. ART, Milan Museo di Palazzo Poggi POLIS / CINEMA - La comunità che viene is the title of the film selection - curated by Mark Nash and staged both in the fair grounds and at Bologna’s MAMbo – that looks at the communist and post-communist legacy of both Bologna and Italy as a whole. Like last year’s exhibition curated by Nash at the Archaeological
Museum, Pierpaolo Pasolini is again the trait d’union of a show that investigates a series of key images from the past and which still resonate today, giving rise to many unanswered questions and stirring unsolved issues. POLIS / SPECIAL PROJECTS: PERFORMING THE GALLERY - curated by Chiara Vecchiarelli - explores the potential of performance art in our contemporary cultural, political and economic context. The project was developed together with Galerie, an intangible gallery dealing exclusively with intangible artworks. Galerie will also be in the fair grounds with a performative version of the booth My Body is My Booth, in which gallerists will ‘perform’ the works on show. Running in parallel and facilitated by the artists with work on show will be a series of workshops open to the public entitled The Intensive Curses. The aim: to demonstrate the close link between the production of knowledge and value. The Intensive Curses programme will be held both at the fair and at the Collegio Artistico Venturoli, where it is organized in collaboration with Art City. Like the gallery, the workshops themselves become a vehicle of artistic expression. POLIS / BBQ - coordinated by Mia D. Suppiej - is a project that links the work of the Artist Run Spaces with the No Profit spaces that have sprung up in Bologna in recent years, providing insights into Bologna’s independent contemporary art scene with a programme of exhibitions, performances and openings. The innovative PRINTVILLE section, located at the entrance to the trade show, is dedicated to industrially manufactured artefacts and prints. Curated by Amedeo Martegani of a+mbookstore, Printville has also extended its reach this year. There are new features on the digital front as well, with Arte Fiera this year launching its first iOS and Android App to provide the general Italian and international public with a truly broad overview of the events at the fair and in town. There’s also a contest open to App users for the best photo taken during the trade show. More information available on www.artefiera.it. Finally, some major acquisitions will be made. The Carisbo Foundation has allocated up to 50,000 Euros to the ‘Arte Fiera Fund’ for the purchase of one or more works to become part of the Art and History Collections of the Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna Foundation. In addition, the MAST Foundation will be choosing photographic works dealing with work and industry to add to its collection. THE SECTIONS With the exception of Nueva Vista, Arte Fiera 2018 makes no distinction in its exhibition layout between modern and contemporary art. Sections and genres are presented in an organic mix to provide visitors with a stimulating series of works from today and yesterday that dialogue in harmony, going beyond now obsolete lines of demarcation, and encouraging viewers to adopt a new critical approach.

developed specifically for their particular venue. In fact ART CITY Bologna is first and foremost a project
ideated and implemented by Bologna for Bologna.
On Saturday 3 February, ART CITY White Night will take over the city with hundreds of events and
happenings for a white night of art, unique of its kind in Italy. For the full programme, please go to:
