On Wednesday, February 25, on the occasion of the gallery's 25th anniversary, Artopia is pleased to present a special project entitled Something Selected, the first event in a widespread program consisting of a series of events that will punctuate the calendar for the year 2026. A cycle of encounters that highlight the gallery's connections—often unexpected and always generating something new—to the places, artists, and people who animate its creative universe. In an interweaving of past and present, Artopia thus reaffirms its vocation for experimentation, research into emerging languages, and its connection with the space that has always defined its identity.

In a rhizomatic journey, various devices linked to the written word occupy the space, creating an open narrative layered in time. These “gateways” offer multiple interpretations of a complex universe, revealing the mechanisms of a gallery that operates as an organic system: an engine of activity where each component maintains its autonomy while being part of a complex mechanism.

These devices interact with a series of selected works without following strictly philological and curatorial criteria—hence the title “Something selected”—which include sculptures, videos, and photographs, accompanying visitors on an unprecedented journey of discovery.
