"This year's theme, 'New Directions,' ties the fair to the legacy of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, treating jazz as a working method rather than a metaphor. It's a balance of structure and freedom, shaped by listening to galleries, to collectors, and to the wider moment we're living through. The move to the South Wing at Allianz MiCo reinforces this approach with a more compact, layered layout that sparks encounters across works, media, and generations,"
"This year's theme, 'New Directions,' ties the fair to the legacy of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, treating jazz as a working method rather than a metaphor. It's a balance of structure and freedom, shaped by listening to galleries, to collectors, and to the wider moment we're living through. The move to the South Wing at Allianz MiCo reinforces this approach with a more compact, layered layout that sparks encounters across works, media, and generations, inviting visitors to navigate the fair with curiosity and openness, guided by the pleasure of discovery, much like you follow a jazz improvisation."
Miart marks its 30th anniversary with a move to the South Wing at Allianz MiCo, designed by Mario Bellini Architects, overlooking the CityLife district. The fair will occupy three floors with a more compact floorplan intended to encourage cross-presentation, project dialogues, and layered encounters between works, media, and generations. The 2026 theme, 'New Directions' and the new graphic campaign by Leftloft signal an evolving identity. Artistic direction frames the theme around jazz—especially Coltrane and Davis—treating improvisation, innovation, and a balance of structure and freedom as guiding principles for curation and visitor navigation.
