MIA Fair, the international photography fair Milan Image Art, goes East. The challenging adventure for MIA Fair 2014 is its first ever exhibition in Asia, Milan Image Art & Design Fair in Singapore 24-26 October incorporating photography and design. MIA&D Fair, the photography and design art fair, conceived in Milan in 2011 by Fabio Castelli, was created with the aim of highlighting the transverse role that photography has come to play between the languages of expression of the contemporary art system. In 2014 Milan Image Art Fair looks to Singapore for its international expansion and announce its first edition in the new capital of art in the South Pacific from 24th to 26th October 2014  during the 4th Singapore International Photography Festival. The Fair will be held at Marina Bay Sands, Exhibition Centre, where it will occupy a sprawling 3,500 square meters. In Singapore the fair will include the presence 50% – 50% of Asian and Western exhibitors and it is expected to attract up to 25.000 visitors. In occasion of its first edition in Singapore, MIA Fair will introduce a new Design section directly connected with photography. We believe that Photography and Design Art, are both expressions of a deep contemporary artistic research. In the last twenty years photography and design have spoken a similar language.
