PREVIEW BERLIN - THE EMERGING ART
FAIR
SEPTEMBER 25 - SEPTEMBER 27, 2009
OPENING: SEPTEMBER 24, 2009
Application Deadline: May 29, 2009
LESS REGRESS –
MORE CONGRESS
After Preview
Berlin – The Emerging Art Fair was successfully held in
Hangar2 for the past two years, the fair will, this year, be
held in the former airport’s main hall.
Moving away from
the classic fair concept, we are, this year, aiming more for
an exhibition format whereby there will be no typical fair
constructions. This is in response to the special features of
the heritage protected main hall of the former airport and
also time limits due to another event which is being held in
the same location in the run up to the fair. Our idea is to
bring together projects which can be exhibited without
partition walls and which, therefore, come primarily from the
fields of sculpture, installation, performance or video.
Furthermore, an exciting challenge will also be the possible
artistic discourse with the historic setting.
As in previous
years, a jury will select the participants from the submitted
concepts and project suggestions. The development and
placement of the individual projects will, this year, also be
organised by a curator, the aim being a more intensive
collaboration between participants and organisers. This change
in concept offers both the participating galleries and Preview
Berlin very different opportunities and forms of
experimentation and presentation.
As production costs
will be significantly lower this year, Preview Berlin 2009
will be able to reduce the participant fee. The cost, this
year, will be 2,600 euros plus VAT for a solo presentation /
4,000 euros plus VAT for two artistic positions. Presentation
space available for the galleries and project spaces depends
on the size of the artworks. Despite this price adjustment,
Preview Berlin will still offer participants and visitors the
important infrastructure such as organisation, safety and PR.
With special evening events, we are also continuing the fair’s
party tradition, which lives, not least, from the great appeal
of the location.
This year there
will also be a greater focus on the exchange between gallery
owners, collectors, curators and art lovers. It is planned
that there will be a communication platform, alongside the
exhibition/fair area, which will offer various opportunities
for discourse such as talks, presentations and guided tours.
Preview Berlin 2009 will also be more consolidated and
concentrated this year due to the shorter fair duration. This
year the fair will be held from 25 - 27 September 2009; the
opening will be on 24 September 2009.
