As Frieze is taking shape in London and Art Basel in Miami is right around the corner, Berlin’s Art Forum just opened yesterday and runs until October 10th. In it’s 15th edition, the Fair is held in the grand Palais am Funkturm, with beautiful ballroom interiors, a charming setting to experience art sans the “market” craze. With local and international participants there is also an interesting program of art talks including: Current Trends in Museums: Susannne Gaensheimer (Director MMK Frankfurt am Main), Joanna Mytkowska (Director Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw), Bartomeu Marí (Director MACBA, Barcelona), Matthias Mühling (Head of Collections Art after 1945, Lenbachhaus, Munich). Public/Private Collectors’ Panel: Erika Hoffmann (collector, Berlin), Harald Falckenberg (collector, Hamburg).

The participating galleries this year is more enthusiastic than before and maybe because they’ve gone through a pendulum swing in the art market, the range of contemporary works that is being shown is both exciting and freshly dynamic. Here are some of the gallery highlights from Berlin and New York. Lots of images below, so it might take a minute to load. Continue Reading More »

This week, the art world in Berlin is charged with the news that the 6th Berlin Biennale is opening today. Some of my friends in Berlin have been sending me the Biennale’s teaser news and events (check out the Facebook fan photos) in which I awfully wish I can be a part of. The Berlin Biennale was originally founded by the director of the Kunst-Werke Contemporary Art Institute in 1998. In its 6th year, the Biennale has developed into a sophisticated yet seemingly still retaining its avante-garde taste. Each year a different curator is appointed and this year the curator is Kathrin Rhomberg. Without doubt there will be an interesting mix of artists and art enthusiasts crossing paths here from around the world. Some of the participating American artists are Mark Boulos (1975, Boston), Shannon Ebner (1971, Englewood), Cameron Jamie (1969, LA), George Kuchar (1942, NY), Margaret Salmon (1975, NY), and Gedi Sibony (1973, NY). Show venues will be positioned at six locations throughout the central hub of Berlin, with numerous art education workshops as well as talks and performance events.
The 2010 Berlin Biennale runs from June 11 to August 8, 2010. Get the full program here on the
BB6 website.

If you haven’t already seen the 2010 Whitney Biennial, now is your chance. The Whitney has announced that it will remain open for 24 hours from May 26, 12am Wed. night to May 28, 11:59pm Fri. “Open All Day and Night” was conceived by American conceptual artist Michael Asher as a part of this year’s Biennial. Perhaps it is meant to act as a closing ceremony for the show, which I think the Whitney deserves a respectable applause for granting this to come through. How many reputable cultural institutions would allow this type of conceptual work to happen? Granted that this is such a rare happening, I will definitely join the night owls and become a part of the piece. And cheers to Mr. Asher!

Just a quick post on Scope Art Fair. Didn’t join Morgan on his tours, but did get a chance to see some art on opening night. Bumped into some friends and familiar faces. It’s the first day, so everyone is still looking good and fresh!
