Each booth one artist: MIA Fair is a large exhibition comprised of solo-shows of Italian and international fine art photographers and video artists. Each exhibitor will present the works of one artist offering the viewer a comprehensive and engaging journey in the project research of each photographer;
Each artist one personal catalogue: the catalogue of the exhibition is no longer the typical summary volume with listings of the artists and the exhibitors, but each exhibitor will offer a personal brochure, published by MIA, with images and an essay on the artist on view. In this way, the visitors will be able to assemble a personalized self-made book that will expand over the course of the fair visit by collecting brochures of their favorite artists. MlA will house, in an extension of 8,000 sq. mt., more than 200 exhibitors, among art galleries, artists, photo labs, publishing houses, foundations, archives and specialized schools. MIA Fair plans to become a catalyst and an indispensable event where all the players and actors -- artists/photographers, curators, art dealers, collectors, publishers, critics and the press -- in the world of photography can meet, discuss and exchange ideas. Still MIA Fair is not for professionals only but also for art enthusiasts and fans of photography and video.
The high quality of the fair is guaranteed by a careful selection of the exhibitors carried out by a scientific committee chaired by the creator Fabio Castelli and comprised of Gigliola Foschi, curator and journalist; Elio Grazioli, contemporary art critic and curator; Roberto Mutti, curator and photography critic; Enrica Viganò, curator, critic, photography event organizer and founder of 3/3 studio which focuses on the development of photographic projects and publications.
A program of workshops and round tables involving a panel of experts will be offered. Topics will range from the history of imaging to the art-collectors market system and will also feature expositive and curatorial experiences and lectures given by masters of contemporary photography.

υστ. Μια υποδειγματικης οργανωσης διεθνη εκθεση εικονας/φωτογραφιας στο Μιλανο.
Να ελπισουμε οτι οι αντιστοιχοι ελληνες επιμελητες να παρουν καποια μαθηματα και απο την συγχρονη οργανωση αλλα και απο το συνολο των τοσο πολλων διαφορετικων δημιουργικων αποψεων που περιλαμβανει αυτη η εκθεση (που επελεξε αριστα ο επιμελητης Fabio Castelli
). Μερος αυτης της συγχρονης καταγραφης δειχνει ποσο πολυ εχει προχωρησει η "διαφορετικου τυπου" δημιουργικη εκφραση στην παγκοσμια εικαστικη πραγματικοτητα και ποσο πισω συνεχιζει να παραμενει η κυριαρχη προταση των εκαστοτε ελληνων επιμελητων. Καταπληκτικη ιδεα η εκδοση του ατομικου λευκωματος του καθε δημιουργου. Και στην Ελλαδα ομως, καποιοι ελαχιστοι ετσι και αλλιως, το θεωρουμε απαραιτητο δομικο στοιχειο οποιαδηποτε εκθεσης . Μ.Κ.
