Summary:

How do we imagine the art fair of the future? Alongside the recurrent question of the relationship between fairs and biennials, and the debate on the cultural or purely commercial role of these events, with their high concentration of symbolic, social, and financial capital, 'Fairland' wants to explore the phenomenon of "fairization" as a physical body, or rather, a symbolic territory. This book gathers works and images by authors coming from different disciplines, spanning from the curatorial field to ethnological studies, from economic history, to architecture and visual art practices. 'Fairland' is a wide-ranging collection of analytical standpoints and possible visions by outstanding artists, curators and critics. 'Fairland' is an editorial project commissioned by Vincenzo de Bellis for the 19th edition of miart, International Modern and Contemporary Art Fair, Milan, to examine and investigate the art fair format and its possible future.
