Artissima 2025
Artists: Agate Tūna (LV)
30.10.2025 - 02.11.2025

The 32nd edition of Artissima, held from thursday October 30 to sunday November 2, 2025, under the Direction of Luigi Fassi and features 176 Italian and international galleries, including 63 monographic projects.

The theme of Artissima 2025 is Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, inspired by the eclectic figure of Richard Buckminster Fuller and his iconic 1969 book of the same name (edition by Il Saggiatore). For the fourth consecutive year, Artissima draws inspiration from a visionary thinker to spark a collective reflection. Through art, its community, and the plurality of its languages, the fair aims to provide tools to interpret and navigate the complexities of the present.

Director Luigi Fassi comments: “What social enrichment do institutional and private collecting represent, and what urgencies and expectations do we associate with the emotion of an immediate encounter with art? The 2025 edition of Artissima will seek to answer these questions through the focal point where the Italian contemporary art market intersects with the international scene, fostering collecting that is attentive to research and a critical, curatorial vision capable of continuous evolution. During the days of Artissima, the Italian system — represented by galleries, museums, foundations, collectors, and publishing — will draw new energy to evolve and imagine the future of art, thanks to its interaction with the actors of the European and global art scene converging in Torino. Once again, Artissima confirms itself as the fair of choice for curators, directors of institutions and museums from around the world, engaged in various ways in its program and in the experience it offers. Artissima is driven by a passion for its territory, and its vitality and innovative strength will continue to resonate throughout the city thanks to the intense and unprecedented collaborations established with numerous public and private institutions. Torino lives through art, and Artissima is the metronome of the city’s most powerful autumnal emotion.”

ASNI participates with a solo show by Agate Tūna. Her practice explores the intersections of spirituality, technology, and femininity, using both analog and experimental photography. Through self-portraits, staged compositions, and direct interaction with photographic materials, she creates images that balance between documentary storytelling and imagination. In her work, the artist combines the physicality of materials with metaphysics, transforming photographic motifs into organic glass objects and chemigrams. Voltentity is a poetic exploration of the invisible—of energies connecting the body, domestic space, and the cosmic.
