Marketplace for contemporary art - the Zurich Art Fair in October 2020

ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH is a public sales and trade exhibition. The annual art fair offers exhibition space and is a meeting point for gallery owners, collectors, artists, and an art interested public.

At ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH, works from all artistic fields such as painting, graphics, sculpture, and photography are exhibited. On offer are figurative and abstract works in small to large formats, from new to established artists, at low to high prices.

Zurich’s international art fair ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH opened in 1999 in the Kongresshaus Zurich – in the banking district near Paradeplatz and the Bahnhofstrasse shopping mile. In 2017, due to the many years of renovation of the Kongresshaus, it moved to PULS 5 – a historic foundry hall converted into an event arena in the middle of the busy trend quarter Zurich West. Exciting industrial architecture in a large hall with plenty of daylight will once again provide the modern and atmospheric setting for ART INTERNATIONAL ZURICH in 2020.

For two days all the streams can be followed at social networks and over 100 websites throughout the world.

Augmented Reality (AR) will become a part of the live stream: using smartphones, viewers will be able to move fashion looks to private bedrooms, for example. A digital artistic team from ЯZAT in collaboration with graphic designers Bayat Akerov, Viktoria Kobelkova, The Digital Mary, have made some digital versions of participating designers’ collections, which will be also available in AR.

“Global Talents Digital is an online version of the Global Talents project, launched by Russian Fashion Council to support cutting-edge brands throughout the world. Dozens of fashion talents from 10 countries debuted their catwalk collections at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia in past seasons. The key feature of the new project is that it will bring together real and totally digital collections. Besides, Global Talents Digital lies beyond classic fashion seasons and covers many countries both thanks to the participants and the live streams: from the South Africa to Japan, from the USA to Australia. And the connection point is Moscow, Russia, where most of the Vol. 1 participants come from. We have been systematically supporting and promoting emerging talents for many years. The global lockdown situation prompted us to look for some new formats, and Global Talents Digital in June 2020 is going to be one of our experiments. It is a contribution to a vibrating world fashion scene, full of the great talents”, said Alexander Shumsky, President of Russian Fashion Council and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.

The list of participants includes the Peru-based brand ANNAISS YUCRA, which prepared a collaboration with a virtual model Ivaany from France.

Kim Zulu, a virtual model from the South Africa (RSA), is going to deliver her debut personal digital collection.

Also VEL LY, who has worked with brands like Dior, GIVENCHY, Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier, Lancôme, and Egor Golopolosov who has worked with Disney, Coca-Cola, Coach, will also share results of their work using innovative technologies. Moreover, the audience will see works by three German artists: Antoni Tudisco, a 3D artist and art director, who has collaborated with Nike, Versace and MTV; Marc Tudisco, a 3D artist and art director, who works with Nike, Reebok, Sprite and many other brands; and Timo Helgert, a digital artist and creative director, who has made a series of 3D videos “The Return of Nature”, in which he expressed his message of hope to everyone who suffered from the COVID-19 virus. Furthermore, an Italian 3D artist Alexey Severin will present results of his collaboration with a French virtual model Serah Reikka. Alexey is currently working with the Recycle art group, their collaborative projects were presented at the Venice Biennale and Center Pompidou in Paris.

Designers will be supported by more than a hundred Russian and international media. Online presentations of new designer collections will be available for watching from anywhere in the world.

For reference: Global Talents Digital is a virtual version of Russian Fashion Council’s Global Talents project established to support emerging talents throughout the world and arranged with support of Fashion Fund. During Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, the event took place twice in the physical format, where designers from Argentina, Bangladesh, Belgium, China, France, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and the UK had a chance to present their debut shows at a large catwalk to the international audience.

Musical background at Global Talent Digital will be provided by DJ GROOVE.

The 9th edition of EMOP BerlinEuropean Month of Photography will take place from 1—31 October 2020. More than 100 Berlin museums, galleries, cultural institutions, embassies, alternative art spaces, project spaces, and photography schools will offer a wide range of exhibitions and events showcasing the beloved and celebrated medium in all its diversity. This year’s main theme is Europe — Identity, Crisis, Future. Further topics such as 30 years of German reunification and 100 years of Greater Berlin, as well as classical genres such as portrait, architectural, and fashion photography will also be represented.

Thanks to its decentralized program with numerous partner institutions and parallel exhibitions, EMOP Berlin can take place in autumn regardless of any possible restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Suitable measures regarding entrances and other hygiene requirements will be taken in response to the situation as needed.

In 2016 and 2018, the EMOP Opening Days were held at C/O Berlin Foundation in Amerika Haus to kick off the festival. This year, Kulturprojekte Berlin is working together with Akademie der Künste; the EMOP Opening Days will take place from 2—4 October at Pariser Platz. Under the main theme of Photography between Art, Politics, and Mass Media, an extensive program with internationally renowned photographers, curators, media experts, and journalists will be offered. Panel discussions, artist talks, discursive events, a film program, and guided tours of the exhibition by the photographers of OSTKREUZ will mark the beginning of this year’s Month of Photography.

At the end of March 2020, 110 projects were selected for participation by this year’s jury, consisting of Thomas Licek (former Managing Director of Eyes On, Vienna), Barbara Esch Marowski (Director, Haus am Kleistpark), Annette Hauschild (photographer, OSTKREUZ — Agentur der Fotografen), Dr. Susanne Holschbach (art and media scholar, lecturer, Neue Schule für Fotografie), and Dr. Christiane Stahl (Director, Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation). Excerpt from the Jury 2020 statement: “The 9th edition of the festival in Berlin will once again showcase photographic gems and offer an exciting and aesthetically sophisticated examination of photography that is sure to bring this multifaceted medium closer to thousands of visitors.”

MAIN EXHIBITION OF EMOP BERLIN 2020
As part of this year’s EMOP Berlin, Akademie der Künste will present CONTINENTIn Search of Europe, a group show of works by all 23 members of OSTKREUZ — Agentur der Fotografen, which will open to kick-off the festival on 1 October 2020. In 22 independent artistic positions developed for this project, the OSTKREUZ photographers explore various aspects of European coexistence, considering personal, social, and political phenomena as well as fundamental structures and historical developments. Their images of people and their surroundings offer access to complex issues, which range from identity and security, renationalization, migration, and integration to basic notions of humanism, democracy, and freedom of expression.
CONTINENT — In search of Europe marks the 30th anniversary of the OSTKREUZ agency, which was founded by seven photographers in East Berlin in 1990, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall but before German reunification. With critical questions — such as “What connects us? What ways do we live with each other? How will our continent and our coexistence on it develop?” — the current discourse on Europe will be taken up and discussed photographically. The exhibition is curated by Ingo Taubhorn.

ABOUT EUROPEAN MONTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY BERLIN
Since 2004, Germany’s largest photography festival has showcased the broad spectrum of contemporary and historical photography in Berlin every two years. Museums, cultural institutions, galleries, project spaces, embassies, and photography schools in Berlin and Potsdam host numerous exhibition projects and events, selected by a jury of experts. The formats range from outdoor exhibitions and large museum presentations to individual and group shows in galleries and project spaces, and impressive contributions at foreign cultural institutions and embassies as well as municipal agencies for art and culture.

EMOP Berlin is a member of the European Month of Photography (EMOP), a European joint project which currently includes photography festivals in Lisbon, Luxembourg, Paris, and Vienna. The idea of creating a European network of photo festivals was born in 2003 on the initiative of Berlin’s partner city, Paris. The aim of the joint project is to promote cooperation at the European level, strengthen the international photography scene, intensify the exchange of information and experience, and support emerging artists.

Pressemitteilung BARK BERLIN*GALLERY

Pressemitteilung BARK BERLIN*GALLERY

BARK BERLIN * GALLERY shows works by Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg and Johannes Daniel in an exhibition. The exhibition will be on display in the BARK BERLIN * GALLERY from May 31 to June 11, 2020.

Johannes develops his collage-like compositions from abstract color arragements, which are complemented by partly figurative painting and realistic image sections. Digital object images and motifs that have accumulated in his image archive over the years are transferred to the canvas in oil paint. Objects from the image archive return to the two-dimensional and at the same time, the superimposition of the motifs in the image creates  spatial  depth that was not intended.
While Johannes Daniel’s paintings arise from an engagement with color, silhouettes of everyday objects, as well as analog photographs, are a first access to the  surroundings in Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s works. Using sculptural means, she deliberately stages drawing and photography in the sculptural area and focuses on the fascination with the material. They pose the question of a guarantor for your own culture and are a hinge between the digital and analog world.

The dialogue between the two artistic positions that face each other takes place on the level where motifs from classic art history dissolve in the candy colors of street advertising.
