(New York,
NY – November 17, 2011): In two weeks time, Fountain Art Fair will
return to Art Basel Miami Beach, taking over the 25th St /
North Miami warehouse for its 6th consecutive year. Opening
Thursday, December 1st for a VIP & Press Preview, Fountain
once again will set itself apart from other internationally
applauded fairs with its vivacious, rogue attitude and
selection of the most cutting-edge alternative galleries and
independent artists.
Fountain is
thrilled to announce that the always audacious Grace
Exhibition Space will curate an on-site, weekend-long
program of evocative contemporary visual performance by
artists Gim Gwang Cheol (Korea), Myk Henry (Ireland/NYC), Erik
Hokanson (NYC), Quinn Dukes (NYC), Jill McDermid (Outer
Space), Paul White (UK), and Hannah Dean (UK). Also joining
the roster for Miami is original Fountain exhibitor
Front Room, along with Tinca
Art, We-are-Familia, and
Untitled ArtProjects. This year Fountain
Miami’s signature on-site street art installation is curated
by Samson Contompasis, director of Albany’s The
Marketplace, and will feature over 150 feet of work
by fifteen of the most in-demand street artists including
Sharktoof, Chris Stain, Olek, Hugh
Leeman, Chor Boogie, OverUnder, White
Cocoa, Army of One, Clown Soldier, Joe
Iurato, CAKE, Tip-Toe, Elle,

About FOUNTAIN
ART FAIR:

punk rock lopsided Anti-Fair.”

“Dangerous,
insightful and sometimes shocking... I left Fountain excited
about emerging art again.”

Fountain Art Fair was founded in
2006 as an attempt to leverage support for smaller independent
galleries to gain access to larger collectors and critics.
Since its inception, Fountain has held six exhibitions in New
York, one in Los Angeles, one in Chicago, and is now
celebrating its sixth exhibition in Miami. From its roots deep
within the independent Brooklyn art scene, Fountain has grown
to represent over 20 international avant-garde galleries and
projects, showcasing progressive primary-market
works.
