SetUp Art Fair, now in its third edition, is an independent art fair turning its attention to emerging artists and presenting itself as cultural platform.

The name SetUp indicates the intentions of the project, organizers’ commitment and challenge are focused to implement a new process to rethink the art system.

This new configuration is defined by a format paying attention to relationship and synergies between  three contemporary art key players: artist, curator and gallerist.

provoqArt presents at SetUp the project Amazing Fragile, with the young French artist Manon de Lastens, presented by curator Alfonso Jiménez Méndez, together with Gigi Piana, Gianmarco Nicoletti, and the South Korean Hyung Geun Park, thanks to the collaboration with Paola Meliga gallery.

The Others is an international exhibition project dedicated to the emerging contemporary art, now in its fourth edition. The protagonists of The Others are all the operators – no matter if profit or no-profit – which deal on a continuous basis with programs dedicated to young artists: galleries born after January 1st 2009 and – irrespectively on their opening date – no-profit centers, associations and foundations, artists or curators collectives, artist-run-spaces, publishing projects, art awards, residences for artists, art schools and academies, bookshops which deal with art, spaces dedicated to young, self-produced design and artist graphics which meet at The Others to develop a focus on the global community of emerging art. A unique exhibition platform, implemented to gather the multiplicity of the realities which operate for the promotion of the younger artists and contexts showing a wide variety of objectives, programs and means of expression. Few initiatives exist for their collective promotion, and yet all subjects do share the spirit of researching and valorizing the emerging creative energies. A great opportunity for visibility and – at the same time – an essential place to gather and exchange experiences, contacts and projects; elements which constitute the very basis for the development of professional networks and activate virtuous synergies, as it is essential for the growth of the whole contemporary art system. Devised for young exhibitors in terms of quality and access, The Others is therefore a privileged observatory on the emerging international creativity, a place for a welcoming, experimental and non-conventional cultural proposal. A mesmerizing venue – i.e. the former jail of Le Nuove – and the late opening time – from 6.00 p.m. to 01.00 a.m. – completes a formula which has proven to be successful as a new art promotion format and which – at the same time – offers the audience the renewed pleasure of discovering the newest voices and most bursting energies of the artistic panorama. Provided with a performing area set up in the enthralling theater of the former prison – which shall host meetings, presentations, readings, theater and music performances, video projections, live music and dj set – as well as with bars and restoration points arranged in the former laboratories which face the central garden, Le Nuove represent a gathering and meeting place of tremendous appeal for all the artlovers and the youngest audience; the very beating heart of Turin’s contemporary art.

provoqArt is an associative art gallery based in Nice, France.

Born thanks to the cooperation between artists active on the international art scene, provoqArt intends to produce, promote and convey works of plastic and visual arts.

The purpose of provoqArt is to support the talents of multidisciplinary artists, coming from different parts of the world and from different socio-cultural backgrounds, but ready to share and express their own creativity through common projects.

These projects, whose aim is to create the best conditions for artistic production and cultural exchange, are regularly shown in exhibitions and international art fairs.

Further intent of provoqArt is to promote the work of the artists through a network that involves all the various players of the art world.

Being part of provoqArt does not imply any restriction. The artists are part of the gallery and they have at the same time other experiences and artistic collaborations, and right from this variety of experiences provocArt can develop some of the most exciting collaborations and exchanges.
