About FOUNTAIN ART FAIR:

“Possessed of a scrappy, youthful verve lacking in its more prestigious neighbors… Fountain was distinguished by a vintage street/self-taught aesthetic…” —ArtForum

“The artists displaying their multimedia wares here are true avant-garde upstarts… Saturating your eyeballs with new imagery while listing on a rusty boat? Priceless.” —NBC New York

“The way an art fair should be.”  —The Economist

“Fountain draws the type of unruly installations and unsettling performances that make it an unpredictable must-see… It’s perfect for jaded art lovers wondering where they can stumble across fresh, anti-corporate, stick-it-to-the-man hijinks in a laid back environment reminiscent of Burning Man” —Miami New Times

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 five exhibitions in Miami, one in Chicago, and six in New York. From its roots deep within the independent Williamsburg art scene, Fountain has grown to represent over 20 international avant-garde galleries and projects, showcasing progressive primary-market works.

Comparisons are often made to the great masters before him such as Willem de Kooning, Lucien Freud, Gustav Klimt and Pablo Picasso. Asencio’s masterful works of art have indeed plucked at the heart strings of art collectors. Powerful brush strokes charged with dancing light and brilliant hues. His masterful use of the brush and pallet knife, his brilliant juxtaposition of colors, the passionate reds, use of shadow and light, all create tension and expectation. Asencio brings to us the glorious human form, sensual, respectfully rendered, a celebration of the divine creation. As you gaze at his masterful works, you are transported to a place where the world is as it should be..... Filled with color, beauty and warmth. This is Asencio’s world, and he invites you to be part of it! —

Konstantin Dimopoulos - The Shower Room

Konstantin Dimopoulos – The Shower Room
 
Konstantin Dimopoulos - The Shower Room
 
Until 8 October 2011 at the Conny Dietzschold Gallery, Sydney - Australia
 
Transformation’ is the focus of this new installation by Konstantin Dimopoulos. The black-and-white Bergman-like images, seemingly crafted from some Nordic or Barbaric lands, are transplanted effortlessly here in this Antipodean landscape. In The Shower Room, Dimopoulos creates a series of modular shower units, five in total. Each stand-alone work is 3 meters in height, made of black steel, with a shower unit held on five stem pediments. The dark spider-like legs, long and extended, splay outwards from the centre of the shower, each leg sitting on castors that allow them to move freely. Their mobility is a statement in itself, the portability of ideas.
 
These industrial fittings originally designed for a domestic setting are now transformed to some other purpose, some political convenience. Conceived to cleanse the living, brutal pieces of the ordinary, that transform the day-to-day bathroom shower to something more malevolent. Statements of man’s creative imagination. These showers have a similarity to the showers we know and use. And yet our memory tells us that we have seen these images before within a different context. They stand like black triffids in rows, waiting to be activated. Their long necks curving down, with shards of white lines raining out from their steel perforated shower heads towards the floor.
 
In the smaller gallery, we see another installation The Bed–Sitting Room. To one side of the room sits a black iron bed. Again the idea of transformation and memory is brought into play. We have seen this room before but something has changed. The bed seems strangely altered, stretched and emaciated.  On the wall a drawing of a family portrait from a wedding is slightly off-center, tilted, so that you want to go up and straighten it. While on a shelf metronome-like units keep time. The transformation and monotone nature of these works, the black and white pastiche of colour within the gallery suggest something more of a collective memory exploring the synapses of a common consciousness.

India Art Fair 2012

India Art Fair 2012


 
Announcement of India Art Fair, 4TH Edition
25-29 January 2012 in New Delhi


New Delhi, 29 September 2011: Now in its 4th edition, India Art Fair (formerly India Art Summit) is set to take place in New Delhi from 25-29 January 2012. Established in 2008 as the country’s first international art fair, India Art Fair has received 178,000 visitors over itsfirst 3 editions.

The highly successful 3rd edition in 2011 included 84 exhibiting galleries from 20 countries, displaying a diverse range of renowned and emerging artists. With over 100,000 visitors over 4 days and a record number of new collectors (30-40%), the 3rd edition firmly established India Art Fair as the region’s leading platform for modern and contemporary art, and demonstrated the vast potential of the Indian art market.

With one of the world’s fastest growing economies and HNWI (high net-worth individual) populations, and an expanding collector base, India is increasingly becoming an important centre for the global art market.  With an annual growth rate of almost 300% and an expanding global participation in its initial years, India Art Fair has been successful in repeatedly bringing art into the focus of mainstream society in India, and contributing to the long term development of the Indian art scene.

This year, the rising interest from foreign galleries in India Art Fair has also been fuelled by the Government of India’s new exemption of import duties on art for exhibition purposes. It is expected that approximately 100 galleries from 30 countries will participate in the 4th edition of the art fair, which will be presented in a dynamic new space in the capital city of New Delhi.

Alongside the art fair, next year’s programme will include the flagship Speakers’ Forum, Video Lounge, Art Projects, the Merchandise and Book Store, and a series of Collateral Events around the city of New Delhi. The Collectors’ Circle is a new initiative launched this year aimed at increasing awareness and access to art amongst young collectors. This will be a year-round membership based initiative that will provide information about art events including  talks, conferences, workshops and networking events with top individual and institutional collectors spread across the  country, and global art centres including London, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai and Colombo.  

The 4th edition of India Art Fair will continue under the same management as its previous 3 years, led by Founder and Fair Director Ms. Neha Kirpal, who has steered the growth and development of the art fair since its inception. This year, Ms. Kirpal brings on two new strategic partners as co-owners, Mr. Will Ramsay and Mr. Sandy Angus, who will bring in their global expertise in exhibitions and events.  Mr. Ramsay is Founder of Ramsay Fairs, PULSE Art Fairs, and Affordable Art Fairs; he runs art fairs in 8 countries on 4 continents.  Mr. Angus is Chairman of Montgomery Worldwide.  Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Angus are also co-founders of Art HK, the Hong Kong International Art Fair.

Ms. Kirpal describes the upcoming edition of India Art Fair as “an important milestone for the art fair; which has witnessed exceptional growth and development in a short period of time. The 4th edition brings us closer to our goal of developing a truly world class fair, facilitating international exchange and trade, and contributing to the growth of a vibrant art scene in the Indian sub-continent”.

Art in Support of Busted - Online Charity Art Auction

Busted Art Auction Show Card

Art in Support of Busted Returns for Year Two
  
Gallery preview
October 1, 7 - 11 pm
Mirror Gallery,  
963 Chung King Road  
Los Angeles, CA 90012  

Online eBay auction: October 1 - 10     
Busted Foundation link:  bustedfoundation.org  

Celebrated lowbrow artists give it up for "Boobies." Art in Support of Busted, an online art auction to benefit women battling breast cancer, returns for its second year starting on October 1. The auction launches on eBay and will be accompanied by a gallery preview reception in Los Angeles' Chinatown for artists and prospective bidders.  

Funds raised from Art in Support of Busted go directly to the Busted Foundation, a
SoCal-based charity organization that offers assistance to women fighting breast cancer.

The foundation was launched in 2007 by Stefanie LaHart and Gabriel Rountree to
provide both financial and educational support for breast cancer patients as they go
through medical treatment. Busted's signature annual fundraiser Bowling for Boobies
has raised over $400,000 in total.

Following the success of last year's inaugural auction, which raised $5,100, curator
Diana Gomez aimed to expand this year's event with a gallery preview reception. "The
gallery preview is a great way to say thank you to the amazing artists who are so
generously donating their pieces," said Gomez. "And although all the pieces are available to bidders worldwide through eBay, it's a nice perk for locals to be able to see the work firsthand prior to bidding."

This year's auction will take place from October 1-10 on eBay and features original work from artists including Ana Bagayan, Apricot Mantle, Aunia Kahn, Bad Otis Link, Bob Dob, Brandi Milne, Cate Rangel, Cathie Bleck, Chet Zar, Christopher Umana, Craig "Skibs" Barker, Dan Quintana, Edward Walton Wilcox, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Jana Brike, Jennybird Alcantara, Jessica Dalva, Jessica Ward, Liz McGrath, Mall, Martin Wittfooth, Nicole Bruckman, Shepard Fairey, Steven Daily, Tara McPherson, and Tomi Monstre.    

The gallery preview will open with a reception on October 1 from 7-11 PM at Mirror Gallery, 963 Chung King Road, Los Angeles. Please visit www.artinsupportofbusted.com and www.bustedfoundation.org for more information
