Archivorum was born in 2019 to change the way we see archives.

Not as static collections, but as living spaces—where culture moves, ideas grow, and knowledge is shared.

Now, a big step forward: we’re opening the Archivorum Library in Turin, dedicated entirely to our collection of contemporary art publishers.
What started as an art lover’s dream has become a vision for a community.
Our largest library yet, it joins our spaces in Megève, Geneva, and Milan.
A place where books aren’t just stored but explored.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Opening April 11th at Franco Noero Gallery in Turin, the library launches alongside Robert Mapplethorpe’s exhibition. 
Nestled in the downstairs space, it’s open to all—a home for rare and independent art publishers, a space for exchange, a way to keep archives alive.

To truly support art publishing, we have, over the years, been acquiring entire collections from some of the most exciting contemporary niche publishers. Their books deserve to be seen, shared, and preserved.

 

You will find available for consultation at the library:
About Books, Dent de Leone, Écart Publications, Edition Patrick Frey, Edition Taube, Fitzcarraldo Editions, Gagarin, Kunst Instituut Melly (Witte De With Center For Contemporary Art), Loose Joints, MACULA Editions, Nero Publications, Onestar Press, Onomatopee, Primary Information, Spector Books, Sternberg Press, The Ice Plant, Torpedo Press, Valiz, Veneer Magazine, White Columns, Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E., and the Archivorum x M book series.

 

 We’re also giving Martino Gamper’s "The Welcome Desk " (2011) a new home at the library. After over a decade at the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva, this beautiful modular piece—crafted in aluminum and wood, complete with a swivelling armchair and lounge seating—will be at the heart of our interactions. Practical, inviting, and inspiring, just as an archive should be.

This is just the beginning! 
We’ll be hosting lectures, book launches, and workshops with artists and publishers.

A huge thank you to Franco Noero, Martino Gamper, Andrea Bellini, director of Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva and the incredible art publishers that have joined our community throughout the years.

We can’t wait to welcome you—old friends and new. See you soon!
