The 3rd edition of temporary exhibition forum devised by and for gallerists
The 3rd edition of temporary exhibition forum devised by and for gallerists. Independent strives to reexamine traditional art fair models and methods of presentation, in response to the changing attitudes and growing challenges for artists, galleries, non-profits, curators and collectors as the experience of viewing and interacting with contemporary art in a group context. Independent was conceived by Elizabeth Dee and Darren Flook and developed in conjunction with creative advisor Matthew Higgs and co-directors Jayne Drost and Laura Mitterrand. For 2012, architect Christian Wassmann, in addition to conceiving exhibition spaces, will create a site specific environment on the roof of the building hosting a cafe' and a selection of publications. This year's invited publications are: 02, Bidoun, and Mousse. The project will take place on the second, third, and fourth floors of the building and will be open to the public free of charge.
