Arte Fiera Bologna

BPER Main Partner: we nurture culture, talent and innovative creativity

BPER for Arte Fiera

Arte Fiera is one of the leading events dedicated to modern and contemporary art. For the third consecutive year, we are the Main Partner, confirming our consolidated relationship and our commitment to supporting artistic research and the languages that interpret it.
With the corporate collaction La Galleria BPER, we participated in two events: the third edition of the BPER Prize, dedicated to promoting women's issues, and a Book Talk on artificial intelligence and new spaces for digital collecting.

BPER Prize

Established in 2024, the BPER Prize represents our commitment to supporting contemporary art that promotes female talent and empowerment. The third edition awards Mirror n.18 by Silvia Giambrone, a work that invites reflection on inclusion, gender differences and social dynamics experienced through the female gaze. Special mention goes to Notturni n.147 by Silvia Inselvini. Both works will be added to our corporate collection, contributing to its growth and to the exhibition projects of La Galleria BPER.

Book Talk

As part of the Book Talk programme at the 49th edition of Arte Fiera, La Galleria BPER promoted the meeting “Luoghi in conflitto. Estetiche dell’intelligenza artificiale e spazi per il collezionismo digitale”, a dialogue dedicated to the impact of AI on artistic languages and practices.
With contributions from Paolo Berti, Daniela Cotimbo and Stefania De Vincentis, we explored topics such as authorship, creativity and new spaces for digital collecting.
For those who wish to learn more about the dynamics of digital media in public spaces, Paolo Berti's book is available (in italian) for download here.
