Mondi Possibili. Dialoghi tra arte e letteratura

Launched in 2023, IDENTITY is a three-year program designed to highlight the fair’s identity traits, realized with the support of Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, a long-standing partner of Artissima in the creation of projects and content aimed at valorization and innovation. IDENTITY 2025 presents the project Mondi Possibili. Dialogues Between Art and Literature, focusing on the central role of the artist through a special series of events organized in collaboration with the Fondazione Circolo dei Lettori. Three conversations between artists and contemporary writers create spontaneous and transversal dialogues in which written word and visual art intersect, giving voice to the artist and revealing their creative universe to new audiences. The events are designed to foster understanding and appreciation of contemporary art, highlighting the fair’s identity as a dynamic cultural platform capable of encouraging interdisciplinary reflection, generating content, and promoting participation and dialogue.

Saturday, November 1, 6:30 PM at Artissima Meeting Point
Giorgio Andreotta Calò in dialogue with Tiziano Scarpa
Giorgio Andreotta Calò and Tiziano Scarpa intertwine their research in a profound dialogue between matter and word. Calò’s installations transform landscape, body, and time into experiences that challenge perception, while Scarpa responds with writing that narrates and reflects on contemporary art.
