Ukrainian Project at Red Dot Miami Art Fair.

Within the framework of Red Dot Miami Art Fair of the festival Art Basel Miami Beach the project "Insectoids and Reptiloids –a Search for harmony II" by the Ukrainian author Michel Merfenko will be shown. With this project Ukraine will make a name for itself on this prestigious art event in Miami for the first time.Michel Merfenko is an Irishman by his origin who lived many years in various countries of Europe but ultimately moved to live in Ukraine. Now the artist considers Ukraine his second motherland and introduces himself in the art circles as a Ukrainian author exclusively.

The work of art by Michel Merfenko was chosen to take part in Red Dot Miami Art Fair for a particular reason. The project "Insectoids and Reptiloids –a Search for harmony II" is a bright example of the search for new ways of expression that are carried out in thecontemporary art. The first part of the project was shown in Beijing within the framework of the World Congress on The Right Philosophy and The Social Philosophy "The Global Harmaony and Supremacy of the Right" in 2009. By its nature the project by Merfenko is a graphic three dimensional installation that changes depending on the things that happen around. Thus the first project "Insectoids and Reptiloids –a Search for harmony" was created directly at the congress an in a result became not a common art object but an original congress diary written by the artist. In his “records” Merfenko used traditional for China materials with at he didn’t repeat classic methods but gave new life to the materials in a new perception.

Merfenko will repeat within the framework of the Red Dot Miami Art Fair the practice applied in the first part of the project -"Insectoids and Reptiloids –a Search for harmony II" will react on the boiling art ambient Miami will submerge during the first week of December.

Time: December, 1-5, 2010 Place: Miami, USA.

Though the exhibition has an international character the major attention at the Contemporary Istanbul is paid to the promoting of the art of Turkey and the whole region. The “New Horizons” became a traditional section of the exhibition where the Arabian and Asian countries showed their art the previous years. Last year the "New Horizons" were given to the Syrian artists, now the Iranian authors will show their last works there.

But the Contemporary Istanbul doesn’t focus attention on the art of any particular Asian country. Special attention is paid to the galleries and authors of the region. The forum “TRANSITION: The New Art of Saudi Arabia” will be carried out in the exhibition framework as well. The American artists whose works will be united in a large-scale project were invited to the Contemporary Istanbul. A range of seminars, round-table discussions and workshops will be held according to the tradition. Among them we would like to emphasize especially the lecture called Collecting: Contemporary Art.

Art fair in Singapore

Hey hey. Our world is full of art fairs. We need to be in stream  to know everything. So check  out the Art fair in Singapore :

The Affordable Art Fair is the first Asian art fair of such a type that will take place in Singapore. The main objective of such exposition is to show that the objects sold are affordable for many people. The director of the Singaporean AAF Camilla Hewitson makes a remark "We are busting the myth that the art collecting is a privilege of the rich people exclusively. It is the source of the success of our exhibition" Indeed, all the exhibits displayed on the Singaporean AAF have fixed price restrictions: from 100$ up to 10 thousand, besides 75% of all the exhibits have price inferior to 7.5 thousand. Such an approach allows to draw wide layers of the society to the art collecting and convert this elite and fascinating hobby into an affordable one. At that the art fair doesn’t forget about the quality of the works of art put up for sale.

More than 60 galleries from all over the world (Asia, Australia, Europe)came to take part in AAF in Singapore. The works of art by the young and the renowned authors were put up for sale, they will send in painting, graphic art, sculpture etc. The one that visit the exhibition in a quality of a viewer more than a buyer will have something amuse with. A variety of workshops (the ones for children as well), lectures and presentations dedicated to the art will be carried out in the frames of Singaporean AAF. Furthermore, the discussion on the topic "Why the art is bought: for pleasure or for investments?" will be held with the participation of the representatives of the Sotheby’s Institute.

Similar fairs AFF are organized worldwide. The idea of an “affordable art” was carried out for the first time in London in 1999. Today the similar fairs are being held annually in the eight world art centers, New York, Amsterdam, Brussels and Sidney among them.
