Art Fair: contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.) 2010, Forum & Media-Art Fair, July 2 - 4 // part I
contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.)
The innovative art fair at the Zollverein world heritage site
contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.) is an innovative and dynamic fair format. It has established two art fairs annually since 2006. With a media art fair in the summer and innovative art productions out of the ordinary: video and media art, installations, performances, environmental sculptures, multimedia projects and especially the field of contemporary photography. In autumn with an art fair for contemporary art - C.A.R. covers the entire spectrum of fine arts and their most important current influences.
As part of the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010, C.A.R. is now destined to become a international art event. Moving away from what has been done before, the objective of "contemporary art ruhr" is to develop an arts marketplace that the Ruhr can call its own. Unbiased. Minimalist. Vibrant.
Since 2006, the fairs have been attended by people from all over Germany and an increasing number of international visitors. Participants include established and recently-opened commercial galleries for contemporary art, acclaimed museums, academies, public art galleries and art societies. Selected artists are provided with a small area of subsidised floor space, giving them the opportunity to attend a high-calibre art fair, while projects by art-school students are also on display.
In parallel to the fair there are special exhibitions, events, symposia, a wide range of a special programme as well as the C.A.R. Gallery, an open competition for photography and digital art. For those interested in the world of art, C.A.R. offers an insight into the current art market at the cutting edge of a dynamic industry.
In 2010 C.A.R., the innovative art fair, takes places with both art fairs within seven exhibition halls with more than 8000 squaremetres increasingly becoming more international.
Organizers, directors: galerie/agentur 162. Partners: Zollverein Foundation, Essen, Office of Culture, media companies and other commercial enterprises.
