The first Vinyl Art Fair debuts as a major highlight of Biennale Son's second edition, carving out its own unique territory in the cultural landscape. Conceived by Jean-Paul Felley along with Maxime Guitton, this project draws inspiration from the explosive growth of art book fairs while addressing a gap in the contemporary art world.
Curated by Fabio Carboni and Sara Serighelli, the fair reveals an underground network of 'creators' operating in the liminal spaces between disciplines, where experimental composition meets visual concept and where the physical object becomes as crucial as the sonic experience it contains. Bringing together labels and initiatives which best express the quest of pushing boundaries through vinyl, cassettes, CDs, books, and sound objects created by today's most innovative contemporary artists.
This isn't simply about music or publishing – it's about a radical reimagining of how art can inhabit sound and how sound can manifest as art. Visitors will discover a parallel universe of artistic expression that has been quietly revolutionizing both the art and music worlds, one limited edition at a time.
