The interactive platform on theFairgoer allows you to view information about your favorite pieces of art, share them with your friends and colleagues via social media, and interact with participating galleries.
The Milan Image Art (MIA) Fair (http://www.miafair.it)
Superstudio Pi?, Milan, Italy
May 4-6, 2012 (May 3rd by invitation only)
May 3 June 24th 2012 on theFairgoer.com
MIA Fair is the first art fair in Italy devoted to photography and video art. The fair will take place at the exhibition space Superstudio Pi?, which is one of the most renewed Milanese locations for events dedicated to art, design, and fashion. Although Italy is home of many masters of photography, there has never been a fair dedicated only to this form of art. We believe that what MIA has done is a great step forward to make photography and video art available to the public, remarks managing director, Lorenzo Wirz Castellani.
The exhibition will display 180 one-man shows. Conceived from an idea of Fabio Castelli, art collector and curator, MIA delivers a unique element of innovation that will distinguish it from traditional Italian art fairs. Each display will concentrate on the project of one artist at a time. Castellani adds, The fact that they are showing one artist per gallery is less disorienting and overwhelming for the visitor who has the ability to better understand each artist.
MIA introduces an innovative catalogue for attendees allowing them to personally assemble self-made books as they visit each booth. Photo laboratories will also be available, providing a great opportunity to understand printing and post-production processes behind a great shot.
Photography and video art lovers unable to attend the live event can view each collection on theFairgoer until June 24th along with images from Past Fairs featured on theFairgoer.
