PRESS RELEASE

On occasion of “Turin 2011: 150 years of the Unity of Italy”, the monthly magazine “Italia Arte.

 Il meglio della cultura e del Made in Italy” (Italy Art.

 The best of culture and Made in Italy) intends promoting an artistic-cultural exchange with the 33 Contemporary Gallery, leading art gallery of Chicago, directed by Sergio Gomez,

 to celebrate not just the one hundred and fifty year anniversary of the Unity of Italy which sees Turin, former capital of the Italian Kingdom, absolute star of the celebrations,

 but also – conceptually – the strong connection that has always linked our country and our connotations to the United States of America, on a path that for more than 150 years has seen the Italian and American populations deeply bound by art, tradition, history, costume and culture.

 The choice of Turin as the Italian exhibition headquarters for the project was also dictated by the leading role this Piedmont city plays in contemporary art at home and abroad.

 This partnership is part of a much bigger plan of relations that “Italia Arte” has with the Italian Culture Institutes all over the world, with Museums and Foundations of the United States and Italy, with numerous contemporary Italian artists and with Italian Associations worldwide.

ABOUT THE  AAF

 When Will Ramsay founded the fair in 1999 his aim was to make contemporary art accessible to everyone, and to show you don’t need to be an art expert or a millionaire to enjoy and buy art. Ten years on The Affordable Art Fair is the leading showcase in the UK for contemporary art under £4,000 having welcomed over 430,000 visitors who have bought £73 million of art.  

 

How did it all start?

 

In 1996 Will opened Will’s Art Warehouse in south west London to bridge the increasing interest in contemporary art and the London gallery scene. By concentrating on relatively unknown artists not carrying a premium for reputation, the gallery was able to offer works from £50 - £2,500 from a stable of over 150 artists. The response to Will’s Art Warehouse encouraged Will to take his approach to the next level, and in October 1999 he launched the first Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park. 10,000 visitors took advantage of the ease of buying, breadth of choice, affordable prices and user-friendly approach.

 

How has AAF grown?

 

In 2001 Will launched a second event in Battersea Park, the Spring Collection, to showcase entirely different artists from the Autumn Collection. Now over 25,000 people come to each London fair to enjoy the art exhibited by the 120 British and international galleries. In the same year he established a fair in the West Country; the Bristol fair in May is now very popular attracting around 7,000 visitors over three days. 

 

AAF has also become something of a global phenomenon with fairs taking place in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, New York and Singapore, while affiliate events include Sydney and Melbourne. Globally, 783,000 people have visited an Affordable Art Fair, buying over £123 million of art.

 

 

Has AAF received any recognition over the years?

 

This year AAF has been selected as one of the UK's coolest brands by an independent council and more than 2,500 members of the British public. As brands are unable to nominate themselves to be a CoolBrand, it just goes to show how much support the fair has from its visitors! We’re chuffed to be thought of as ‘a brand that it is both cutting edge and has withstood the test of time; something that appeals to celebrities and to ordinary people too…’. Check out our entry on page 8 in the CoolBrands book.

 

Will has been recognised as an ‘art world pioneer’ by many journalists over the years. But this year, for the first time, he features in a TV advert for BlackBerry as the ‘man who wants to make great art accessible to everyone’. Watch the advert.

 

Why come to an AAF?

 

Our formula is relatively simple: a relaxed, unstuffy environment and lots of good quality contemporary art. The price ceiling of £4,000 and the compulsory labelling of all artwork ensures you know what you can and can’t afford, and the huge array of paintings, sculpture, photography and prints means there is something to suit every taste. The artists shown at the spring and autumn fairs in London are entirely different, so even if you don’t find your perfect piece the first time it is always worth coming back!

There are lots of other arty activities going on at each fair, along with an emerging artist exhibition, which features the work of recent graduates. The Education Programme offers a whole host of activities, all of which are fun, informative and free. For those who wish to create their own masterpiece everything from drypoint printmaking to collaborative mural-making is on offer. And for those who prefer to listen there are talks on collecting art and printmaking. Children can be kept entertained with a Kids’ Activity Pack and under 10s can be left at the crèche.

 

Art movements

An art movement is an artistic style or a tendency seen in the intentions of works that is followed by a group of artists during a specific period of time.  Art movements were especially important in modern art, where each consecutive movement was considered as a new avant-garde. Movements have almost entirely disappeared in contemporary art, where individualism and diversity prevail.

Abstraction and Abstract Art
Abstract art was largely a result of artists’ increasing interest in the formal aspects of art (such as colour theory) and the creative process, placing emphasis on personal expression. Representational forms, such as figures or landscapes, are often exaggerated or simplified until they become virtually unrecognisable. Examples: Barbara Hepworth, Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson.

Abstract Expressionism
This movement originated in America in the 1940s, becoming popular in the 1950s. The key interests of the Abstract Expressionists were freedom of expression and exploring the subconscious. Many artists associated with this movement worked quickly and applied paint in unconventional ways such as pouring or splattering paint directly onto the surface, allowing chance and accident to play a significant role in the creation. Some also began experimenting with modern materials and industrial and domestic paints. Examples: Willem De Kooning, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko.

 

 

Conceptual Art
Conceptual art, as its name implies, is primarily concerned with conveying an idea or concept behind a work, rather than the creation of a traditional art object (such as a painting, print or sculpture). The term first came into use in the 1960s, but is usually associated with artists of the 1970s. However, artists have been making work which is now regarded as conceptual since the beginning of the 20th century, perhaps the first being Marcel Duchamp’s infamous urinal piece made in 1917. In many examples of conceptual art, the art object can be replaced by a description of it or by a set of instructions for its construction, and the actual physical involvement of the artist can often be quite minimal. In the 1990s conceptual art enjoyed a resurgence and has been linked to the origins of the Young British Artists (YBAs), largely consisting of graduates from Goldsmiths College under the guidance of conceptual artist Michael Craig-Martin. Because Conceptual Art is often dependent upon the discourse surrounding the work, it is strongly related to other movements of the last century. Examples: Marcel Broodthaers, Jenny Holtzer, Sarah Lucas, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst.  

 

Contemporary Art

This somewhat ambiguous term usually refers to work created after 1945. Some define contemporary art as work made within the last 30 years (Christie's auction house made this distinction with their contemporary auctions, while Sotheby’s and Phillips maintain the more conventional 1945 date).

 

Figurative/Figuration/

Representational
The term figurative is now used as the opposite of abstract or conceptual, and extends to anything that depicts a subject taken from life, be it a landscape, objects (a still life) or the human figure. Figuration is often used to describe naturalistic or lifelike elements in otherwise abstract or non-figurative work. Representation is used when the emphasis is on what the subject is rather than with an accurate lifelike depiction.

 

 

Installation Art

Installation art is often made for a particular event or space, being referred to as site-specific. Although some installations are able to be re-installed elsewhere or re-made at different venues, they are rarely permanent and may only exist as a documentation of its finished state. Much installation art is considered conceptual and is a popular art-form for alternative spaces rather than galleries. Examples: Christo, Tracey Emin, David Mach, Anthony Gormley.

 

Modernism and Modern Art

Modernism and the period referred to as the ‘modernist’ age relates to art and literature of the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. It includes artists such as Giacometti, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Brancusi, Klee, van Gogh and Cezanne, often called the ‘Father of Modernism,’ as well as all those who forged artistic movements such as Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism. Art at this time made a radical break with the past, deliberately departing from traditional materials and techniques. Whilst modernist ideas are still used widely in contemporary art and design, its dogmatism fell out of fashion in the post war period. It should not therefore be confused with contemporary art.

 

Pop Art

Pop Art largely explores popular mass culture and the products of consumerism and capitalism. Its message is not always certain, and could be condemning or celebrating its subject. Largely associated with American culture, it actually began in England in the late 1950s, helped substantially by the focus brought on Britain by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. By appropriating the materials and styles of advertising, billboards, screen-printing, commercial packaging and design. Pop artists encouraged their audience to reassess the products of the everyday world, at the same time challenging the elitism of previous art movements. Examples: Peter Blake, David Hockney, Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein.

 

Post-Modernism

Post-modernism is the recognition that we have gone as far as we can from traditional values in the name of innovation. Therefore nothing can be considered wholly original because everything refers to what has gone before it. This is now part of our everyday ‘Cultural Liberalism’ in which no creative output can categorically be said to be better or worse than any other. Value is given to something according to what it refers to, hence the current fashion for retro culture and for revivals of previous styles. Examples: David Salle, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Gavin Turk.

Marzia Frozen is pleased to announce an  international  group

exhibition of a new generation of artists working today. This will be a

group exhibition at MARZIA FROZEN in Berlin, and will feature a

selection of  paintings, sculptures, photographs,  performances and

videos.

 

Berlin  is  the  motor  of  European contemporary art  in

2011.  The  power  of  this  city  is inspiring a new generation

of artists. Whether they work in illegal street art, expansive

installations, provocative action art or quickly jotted paintings,

Berlin has inspired artists from around the world. Here they find a low

cost of living, more than 400 international galleries and five major

museums within a square kilometer at the heart of the capital. The city

plays host to hundreds of art galleries as well as annual international

art fairs, such as Art Forum, and provides multiple openings almost

every night. The Berlin artists convene at these openings and at

gatherings in bars, where the conditions for networking and discussion

are ideal. More than 6,000 professional artists live in Berlin.

 

Berlin is a city for hedonists and artists. The crossover between the

two is often seamless. George Grosz, Otto Dix und Max Beckmann captured

this face of the city in earlier times. Since the fall of the Wall, an

increasing number of successful artists from around the world have been

flocking to Berlin. Stars of the scene such as Thomas Demand, Angela

Bulloch or Arturo Herrera came to stay. Renowned artists such as Olafur

Eliasson and  Daniel Richter live in Berlin. Berlin is also a breeding

ground for artistic production. This is where the young art of today

might be picked up for large collections tomorrow. Entire gallery scenes

continue to emerge and evolve. No sooner has one international

exhibition closed, than another has opened. This may explain why Berlin

has made a name for itself as a talent factory producing the artists of

tomorrow. Stillwell finds the Berlin arts scene to be refreshing because

it is "more International, and less hierarchical, than,  New York."

Artists are egomaniacs – that’s the stereotype, at least -- and it

may be rooted in reality. However, even the biggest egos don’t always

stand alone. Studio houses and communities have been founded in many

areas of the city, as cooperation brings about synergistic effects. Fans

of art can benefit from this as well, as there are often open house

events that allow them to roam through the studios.

 

AC/BC  Contemporary  Berlin  is  a  survey  about  the  new

generation  of  artists  in  2011  that have been creating  an

incredible buzz  in  the  german  capital.  The Wall has fallen and

along with it, barriers to creativity and self-expression. Rebellion

comes from a youth culture that does not have great employment prospects

(especially in Berlin, which is notoriously poor with respect to all

other German cities, and has high unemployment.) Berlin is a dynamic,

progressive city, and the local art scene reflects its unique history

and colorful present. From painters to performance artists, Berlin is

home to some of the most innovative figures on the international

stage.Numerous artists from across the globe have taken full advantage

of Berlin's transition period throughout the 1990s and 2000s to find

gallery and performance spaces in the most unexpected places.  --
