Present Future is the section of Artissima that showcases emerging talents, preferably less than 40 years old. The artists, presented by their reference galleries, are selected on the basis of a specific project. The section features monographic projects with the goal of shedding light on new, more significant and cutting-edge trends on the international art scene.

Back to the Future presents monographic exhibitions by pioneers of contemporary art who explored diverse methods and possibilities of communication between the 1940s and 1990s. Themes include language as a medium, cybernetics, human-machine interactions, and early media experiments, alongside critical reflections on the conditions and limitations of communication.

Disegni is the only section in Italian art fairs dedicated to this medium. It presents projects conceived as solo shows that enhance the authenticity and autonomy of the work on paper. The section promotes the uniqueness of the drawing, its innate immediacy, being the first translation of the artist’s idea and the only unfiltered access to his creative process.
