MADE IN is a residency programme created by Artissima with the support of Camera di commercio di Torino, based on the desire to activate a dialogue between contemporary art and the flourishing entrepreneurial context of Torino, enhancing the territory in which the fair was born and has grown, constantly weaving synergic relationships with the aim of underscoring characteristic values, giving Torino greater visibility in the world.
For the occasion of Artissima 2023, the second edition of the project has been launched in partnership with Dott.Gallina, Guido Gobino Cioccolato, Kristina Ti and Pininfarina Architecture, with the coordination of Sonia Belfiore, founder of Ultravioletto Arte + Impresa.
Starting with the idea that corporate know-how and specialized production processes can become a precious resource for the creation of works of art on the part of artists, MADE IN allows four young artists to live inside four companies in the territory, absorbing and incorporating the technological and operative expertise with which they come into contact into their own practice, with the aim of producing an original artwork that will be presented at Artissima 2024.
The artists selected to take part in the project are: Lorena Bucur (matched with Kristina Ti – patron gallery: Franco Noero), Christian Offman (matched with Guido Gobino Cioccolato – patron gallery: Luce Gallery), Jacopo Naccarato (matched with Dott.Gallina – patron gallery: Simòndi), Giulia Poppi (matched with Pininfarina Architecture – patron gallery: Mazzoleni).

The four winners have been chosen and matched with the respective companies as a result of in-depth analysis conducted by the Committee of MADE IN chaired by Artissima in the person of the director Luigi Fassi and composed of four patron galleries – Luce Gallery, Torino; Mazzoleni, Torino, London; Franco Noero, Torino; Simòndi, Torino – and by Sonia Belfiore, curator of the project.
The four artists will be the protagonists of a residency taking place within the partner companies and with the aim of producing an original work of art as the result of contamination between different worlds. During their stay they will live the spaces and the atmosphere of Combo, innovative hospitality format always in dialogue with Artissima.
