Emporio is the true alternative to the megastore. Despite its modest size, it is the place where everything new is showcased. People come from all over to learn about the latest styles, colors, materials, and next season’s trends. Emporio is the new exhibition project by Archivio Care of - Viafarini. From the ever-increasing amount of material that continues to arrive at the now well-known address, three critics have selected their proposals for the art of today and tomorrow. Very young, previously unseen artists, or those already somewhat known—but not enough—are presented here, to be followed closely. As always, there is no shortage of surprises.

In the second part of the project, scheduled for February, curators Luca Beatrice and Alessandra Galletta offer the opportunity to view part of the archive in “3D”: instead of “flat” folders, original works will be available for consultation. In this case, the exhibition spaces of Care of and Viafarini will not host a traditional curated exhibition but will rather be transformed into a kind of “market,” where visitors can choose and request to see one or more works by the more than twenty new talents being presented.
