In March of last year, as a reaction to the first lockdown, Arte Fiera launched a digital initiative called “In the gallery”: every week, six exhibitors of the 2020 edition were invited to present on this site, through a selection of images and a short introductory text, the exhibition set up in their spaces. It was a way of keeping attention on the galleries’ program at a time when their premises were inaccessible to the public.

In the context of PLAYLIST, “In the gallery” returns in a special and unique version: all the exhibitors of 2020 were asked to present their current exhibition, or the last one set up, or the one they are currently in at the same to inaugurate. It is in no way an online fair; is an initiative focused exclusively on programming the galleries in their locations. Think of it as a “digital showcase” to expand the visibility of exhibitions, after a year in which, due to reduced mobility – or the inability to move tout court – this visibility was drastically limited.
