art forum berlin 2010 – New concept and new location

The sector focus for young galleries which are no older than six years will be one of the highlights of the International Art Show at this year’s art forum berlin. The Selection Committee and the Show Management have decided to integrate the sector focus into the two historic Ermish Halls. Within the sector galleries, the stands of the young galleries will be in the centre of the respective hall. Furthermore, the sector focus has an attractive novelty: Each gallery admitted by the Selection Committee was authorized to invite one additional gallery to participate.

The new concept allows the young galleries to decisively co-determine the orientation of the sector. Each participating gallery may show works by a maximum of two artists. With this reorientation of the concept of the International Art Show, not only the quality of the group of participants is decisively strengthened, but the profile of art forum berlin – concentration on the most recent artistic creations – is further sharpened.

Also new is the loosened-up stand architecture by the English designer Jason Smith (Spread Design, London). It reflects the new concept of the sector by two large stands measuring 25 m2 forming a unit.

In the context of its state initiative “Project Future”, this year again the Senate Administration for Economy, Technology and Women will make prize money amounting to € 7,000 available for the “best” stand in the sector focus. The galleries will be judged by Ariane Beyn, artistic director of the DAAD artists’ programme, Axel Haubrok, collector, and Holger Liebs, chief editor of monopol.

The following galleries will exhibit in the sector focus the artists listed with the first-mentioned gallery being the one chosen by the Selection Committee and having invited the second-mentioned gallery to participate:
