(un)fair is delighted to present (un)choices, a curated space that will showcase a selection of the most promising proposals in contemporary art, selected among the ones exhibited in the General Program of the fair by the invited curators Domenico de Chirico and Marialuisa Pastò.
(un)choices aims to give visibility to national and international artists whose artworks mostly share the urgency in pushing the boundaries of possibility as a common thread and that look at the issues of our times.
