International Contemporary Art
ART FORUM BERLIN 2005 - International Contemporary Art for the 10th Time
ART FORUM BERLIN, the international trade fair for contemporary art, will take place at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds from 29 September to 03 October 2005. Organized by Messe Berlin GmbH in cooperation with an international art gallery advisory board, ART FORUM BERLIN is one of the most innovative, world-class art shows.
With 100 galleries from 25 countries, ART FORUM BERLIN showcases the works of established artists and newcomers. The spacious, historically protected exhibition halls 18-20 offer ideal conditions for exclusive art presentations from galleries selected by an international jury. With its compact, clearly targeted approach, ART FORUM BERLIN provides a unique venue offering information and dialogue for contemporary art dealers and agents.
Each year, ART FORUM BERLIN attracts exhibitors and visitors from around the world to Germany's capital city. The event features all forms of 21st century art ranging from video and photography, to paintings, sculptures, installations, graphics, and multimedia. Anyone interested in the modern art scene will find what they're looking for at this exclusive exhibition. Nearly 30,000 art enthusiasts, 1,900 journalists from 22 nations, and renowned collectors, museum directors and curators from Germany and other countries visited ART FORUM BERLIN in 2004.
For the first time in 2004 based upon the recommendation from the International Art Gallery Advisory Board and the initiative of Paul Maenz, ART FORUM BERLIN offered participating galleries an opportunity to present selected artists in a special exhibition project. Entitled "Made in Berlin" and curated by Zdenek Felix (former director of the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg) the exhibition featured works by Berlin-based international artists. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, ART FORUM BERLIN will again offer a Special Exhibition Project: „Temporary Import". This year the focus will be on the exceptional international artists who have been or currently are guests in Berlin as artists-in-residence of DAAD, Bethanien or other institutions. The Special Exhibition will be curated by Susanne Titz, Director at Museum Abteiberg, Moenchengladbach and will be shown in the generous daylight hall 17 adjacent to the galleries' halls.
Along with high-quality content, ART FORUM BERLIN offers exhibitors and visitors excellent conditions for an art show. Berlin's exhibition center features specially designed rest areas, cafés and restaurants as well as an exhibition library with reading rooms and a forum for discussions, performances, and receptions. The spacious halls provide an ideal setting for experimental display stands.
Each day, the ART FORUM BERLIN Talks offer visitors an opportunity to take part in discussions with distinguished guest speakers who address the current issues relating to contemporary art production and cultural policies.
In conjunction with ART FORUM BERLIN, the city stages a world-class cultural program with special events taking place in museums, galleries, and clubs.
