Fountain Art Fair 2012
09 Mar, 2012 - 11 Mar, 2012
Fountain Art Fair is thrilled to announce that its upcoming New York 2012 edition will take place at the 69th Regiment Armory, an iconic city landmark and site of the legendary 1913 Armory Show. Now located on Lexington Avenue and 25th Street, Fountain New York will be easily accessible during Armory Arts Weekend, March 9鈥�11, 2012. Fountain is also proud to be partnering with arts education non-profit Art for Progress for its seventh New York fair.
Though Fountain will miss the distinctive Pier 66 & Frying Pan Lightship which served as the fair鈥檚 New York home for the past three years, the Armory鈥檚 immense 28,000 square foot space will allow Fountain to host more exhibitors and accommodate ambitious, large-scale installations. Fountain鈥檚 move into the 69th Regiment Armory marks the 99th anniversary of the original 1913 Armory Show, where Marcel Duchamp鈥攚ho inspired the fair鈥檚 moniker with his readymade Fountain鈥攃hallenged perceptions of modern art. Duchamp鈥檚 gutsy spirit resonates today in Fountain Art Fair鈥檚 radical attitude and its grassroots, welcoming environment that sets it apart from other fairs. 鈥淭he opportunity to hold Fountain鈥檚 seven year anniversary show in the home of the original 1913 Armory space is a game-changer and a big win for Fountain exhibitors and supporters,鈥� said Fountain co-founder David Kesting. 鈥淭he sheer scale of the space in context with the ambitious projects of our exhibitors offers a new opportunity for the growth of the exhibition and its participants.鈥�
Fountain Art Fair is an exhibition of avant-garde artwork founded to leverage support for smaller independent galleries to gain access to larger collectors and critics. In addition to cutting-edge art, visitors to the fair can enjoy signature elements such as on-site performance art, a major street art installation, and musical performances that Fountain has become known for integrating into the art fair experience. From presenting just 3 local exhibitors at its first fair in 2006, Fountain has grown to represent over 30 international exhibitors and independent artist projects at its most recent Miami 2011 edition.
