DARK FAIR
Presented by the Milwaukee International art fair
Opening Friday, MAR 28, 2008 6 - 12AM
Press preview Friday, MAR 28, 2008 2 - 4 PM
For Immediate Release
This coming March 28-29, 2008, the organizers of the Milwaukee International
art fair will bring a unique and first time 2-day event to the Swiss Institute
in New York: DARK FAIR!
This subversive and experimental miniature art fair will take place without the
use of natural or electric light. An international selection of galleries and
artists will display work custom to these conditions, using candlelight,
flashlights, oil lamps, work that glows in the dark, light sculpture, battery
powered film and video, and unplugged performances. In this cavernous
underworld of exchange, visitors will experience art in completely new ways:
featuring shadowy bar booths, dimly lit VIP chill-out zones, peddle-powered
film projectors and gramophone DJ's. The Swiss Collective Klat will bring the
Dark Fair to SI’s booth 1303 at the Armory Show.
In addition to custom booths there will be space available for individual
artist projects, screenings, and performances including an indoor sculpture
garden.
