BIG (Biennale Internazionale d’Arte Giovane) – in Turin from 19 April to 19 May – is an event dedicated to those under thirty five living in Europe and active in various fields: visual arts, theatre, music, dance, cinema, architecture, design, fashion, writing, gastronomy and Internet.
The aim is to promote creative interchange and set up a network of contacts and cultural exchanges. Artistic director of this year’s edition is artist Michelangelo Pistoletto who, together with a committee of experts, has selected 150 projects linked by a common theme: “BIG Social Game”, which is about the responsibility of art towards society.
