Teasers for This Year’s Preview Berlin Art Fair<br />
CLUCK, CLUCK, CLUCK<br />
From LEGO workshops to fluorescent sculpture, we present some more unusual spectacles<br />
set to take place at the 8th edition of Preview Berlin Art Fair.<br />
In the realm of <strong>contemporary</strong> art, Berlin truly stands alone. Not for it’s elite galleries or<br />
multi-million dollar art fairs stuffed with business tycoons and billionaire collectors, but for<br />
its truly real, raw emerging artists and avant garde art spaces. In a city where an elaborate<br />
street painting can garner more attention than a big-name art auction, a traditional art<br />
fair such as Switzerland’s Art Basel simply does not fit the profile. Which is exactly why the<br />
creators of Preview Berlin Art Fair, which takes place at Tempelhof Airport during Berlin Art<br />
Week this year, wanted to create a different kind of arena in which even unheard of artists<br />
could have a chance to show their work to the public.<br />
Since the fair first started in 2005, it has been in a continuous state of evolution. This year<br />
looks to be the most thrilling yet with 57 international galleries, 11 project spaces, and 8<br />
art academies from 14 countries participating in this year’s fair, and the first ever addition<br />
of solo exhibition walls. But with so much to see and do, how can one decide? Don’t<br />
worry, we are here to help. Here are some highlights and fun facts to get you psyched for<br />
this year’s event.<br />
(1) The Party Crashers - The artist group Fame will crash the ASPN Gallery booth with a<br />
VW Golf 1. Postwurf.org also has plans to hijack an art collection, smuggling a remote<br />
touchscreen terminal into it. Even though it might be taking away the element of surprise<br />
a little bit, the shenanigans will still surely be nothing short of epic.<br />
(2) A Little Latin Flavor - The gallery LEM-Art from Colombia and Terreno Baldio Arte from<br />
Mexico, the group behind the three recent monuments in in the Plaza de Santo Domingo<br />
in the Historic Center of Mexico City.<br />
(3) Beyond Babushkas - The best of Eastern Europe is set to show at this years fair. In<br />
addition to Maksla XO from Riga, which will exhibit a massive fluorescent sculpture, the<br />
Warsaw-based Program Art Gallery and Starter Gallery and Nasui private collection &<br />
gallery from Bucharest will present their work.<br />
(4) LEGOS for Grown-ups - Workshops, exhibitions, lectures and performances all geared<br />
toward artists experimenting with LEGO blocks as a new medium at LEGO ® Art Box.<br />
(5) Big in Japan - Frantic Gallery presents for the first time three up-and-coming artists:<br />
Makoto Sasaki, Macoto Murayama, and Atsushi Takahashi who depicts the human mind<br />
in state of suspension between clarity and obscurity, sometimes expressed in the unfocused<br />
gaze of a new-born child or the blurred consciousness of old people.<br />
