Many very exciting experiences are generated, being able to hear from the artist himself who inspired him, what things he has in common with you, what made his work move you. Art fairs have always been solemn spaces where people walk through almost without interacting with each other. BADA is the opposite, it is an encounter experience”, highlighted Spinetto.
