THE CURATORS’ CHOICE

Alongside the nine prizes, Artissima presents the galleries selected as part of The Curators’ Choice, the programme supported by Fondazione Arte CRT, now in its first edition, which involves curators from museums, biennials and international institutions in a path of discovery of the participating galleries. Each curator was asked to identify a gallery not previously known to them, which has distinguished itself for the quality of its exhibition proposal and the research presented. A critical recognition that increases the visibility of the selected exhibitors and encourages new international relationships between galleries and institutions.
