The Embassy of Italy in London hosted Italy at Frieze, an initiative launched in 2019 to celebrate and promote Italian art in London during Frieze week. Nineteen galleries participating in Frieze London and Frieze Masters each exhibited a post-war or contemporary Italian work at the Embassy. The exhibition\/reception Italy at Frieze, which is part of the programme available to Frieze members, was held on 14th October from 19.00 until 22.30. This year\u2019s programme included two additional events on 15 October at the Embassy.<\/p>\n
Italy at Frieze this year was also part of Italy4art, a programme of Embassy events about art, culture and innovation taking place in the week of 11th October. The Italy4Art programme began with the opening of the all-Italian space of the Start Fair at Saatchi Gallery and concluded with Italian Design Day dedicated to the legacy in Italian contemporary design of Gio Ponti, in collaboration with Taschen.<\/p>\n
The Ambassador of Italy to the United Kingdom, Raffaele Trombetta, said: \u201cIn this period, in which we try and (re)establish contacts amongst people and culture, the immediacy and efficacy of the language of the Arts comes to our aid. Italian artists know how to add the capacity to express oneself to a variety of codes and techniques, thereby bringing out the best of the Italian creative spirit. We are delighted to once more celebrate Italian art in person during Frieze week, when London is at the centre of the global art scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
Italy at Frieze, dedicated to the theme \u201cA view from London: Perspectives on Italian Art\u201d was once again curated by Dr. Flavia Frigeri, who, working closely with the participating galleries, selected nineteen works by modern and contemporary artists. \u201cAs a curator living and working in London for many years, I wanted to create a bridge between Italy and the UK, presenting a selection of works that express the artistic vision of the great postwar Italian masters, alongside the most important contemporary artists,\u201d said Dr. Frigeri.<\/p>\n
On the morning of 15th October, the Embassy hosted a breakfast talk on the theme of this year\u2019s edition, entitled \u201cA View from London. Perspectives on Italian Contemporary Art\u201d with the artist Gaia Fugazza, the writer and artistic director of In Between Film\/Art, Alessandro Rabottini, and Flavia Frigeri, art historian and curator.<\/p>\n
A special edition of Italy4Innovation, the Embassy\u2019s series on innovation and technological cooperation between Italy and the UK, washeld in the afternoon of the 15th. The event considered the revolution in art driven by digitalisation, particularly blockchain. Artworks made and marketed as non-fungible tokens have recently become one of the most debated themes in the art world, and some pieces have reached values in the millions. This will be discussed by art critics, artists, technology experts, galleries and auction houses, in a conversation which examined the phenomenon through various lenses: commercial, artistic, technological and social.<\/p>\n
