Date: Feb. 8, 2013
Time: 12 noon
Venue: Hungarian Cultural Centre, 1A Janpath, New Delhi
The United Art Fair is pleased to announce its second edition, happening from September 14–17, 2013 in Halls 8, 9, 10, and 11 of Pragati Maidan.
While continuing with our radically new model of an artist-driven fair (as opposed to a gallery-driven fair, as most in the world are), in its second edition the United Art Fair will continue to expand on the parameters of contemporary art by looking at a wider variety of disciplines, practitioners, media and materials. Paintings, sculpture and photography will continue to be the majority of works on display, but the fair will also include examples from all fields of design (including graphic art, fashion, textiles, furniture, ceramics, and architecture) to expand on how we define "art" today. By also accommodating works from the genres of folk and tribal art, crafts and ritual arts, the fair will expand on how we define "contemporary" in India today. Boundaries between these various genres and disciplines will be breached, with exciting combinations of materials on display to challenge our preconceived categories of artistic production.
The fair will be organized into a variety of spaces to accommodate both group shows and solo shows of works by particular artists. While the emphasis will be on younger, undiscovered talent new to the marketplace and operating outside of the existing gallery system, senior artists whose works have been overlooked will also be exhibited. Through exhibition and installation strategies, dialogues between disciplines and generations will be created; visual excitement will take precedence over academic categorizations.
In addition, collaborative projects will be developed with a variety of arts organizations and companies, including Pro Helvetia, BestCollegeArt.com, and the Vitra Design Museum, among others.
