The Other Art Fair opens in London this weekend.

17 April 2013

Cutting out the middle man and providing a platform for unrepresented artists to display (and sell) their work directly to their audience, London’s The Other Art Fair has had two successful runs. They represented roughly 80-90 practitioners, first across two pop-up galleries in Covent Garden in November 2011, and gain at Ambika P3 in Marylebone in May 2012.

This year, organisers plan to expand to two showcases in April, coming up next weekend between Thursday, April 25 and Sunday, April 28, and then in October. They’ve also extended the network online, in partnership with Culture Label and plan to physically expand their events outside the capital, offering the same opportunities regionally. It’s just another example of the rapidly rising self-starting culture surrounding contemporary art that aqnb fully supports. See their website for more info.**

ArtBasel 2012

16 June 2012

Switzerland is just around the corner, so take your little European car and drive a few km to get to Basel this weekend, the village that hosts one of the best international contemporary art fairs... and it ends on Sunday so better hurry!

Not just for those 300+ galleries from all across the globe but for the tons of other activities and events happening at the same time during the weekend, like the presentation of Alison Klayman’s feature-length film on three years in the life of Ai Weiwei or our locally admired Madrilian artist Santiago Sierra talking this Sunday in Arte Povera Today.

Not included in the featured list this year but JLG will be present too and a very curated 18-artist program for this year which includes Alex Gross, Brett Amory REVOK or Victor Castillo…

Maybe you should think about moving to Switzerland from now on, not Zurich, not Lausanne.. but Basel just for their summer Art events. The rest of the art program… this way please.
