After four successful years in Paris, cutlog art fair is pleased to announce the launch of its first New York edition from May 9-13, 2013. Approximately 45 galleries and curators will present art, installations, performances, talks, and films in a creative architecturally designed environment allowing each art project to have its own identity and a unique art interaction with the public.
cutlog NY will focus on showing cutting-edge and established galleries that promote the work of contemporary artists. The fair will foster new relationships between galleries, collectors and art institutions to form a collaborative platform for building new perspectives on contemporary art. cutlog NY aims to be a creative laboratory, showcasing works by artists from all over the world and offering them the opportunity to gain global visibility.
The five day event will take place in one of Manhattan’s most vibrant and creative area, the Lower East Side. Over the past years, the neighborhood has become a new hub for emerging and innovative galleries and cutlog NY will be a part of this growing community to become the downtown art fair. Occupying The Dutch Neo-Gothic building, a former public school (PS 160), cutlog NY will be hosted by the Clemente Soto Vélez Center at 107 Suffolk Street, between Rivington and Delancey Streets.
Each of the roughly 45 participants will present an original project featuring one or more works by artists selected by a jury of professionals. A selection of sculptures and installations will be displayed in the Clemente building and courtyard.
A film festival will be held during cutlog NY, with a series of performances and talks which are announced in our program section

Africana: Recycling, Myth-making,Alterity
As part of cutlog NY 2013, TURF--an ongoing curatorial project by Mebrak Tareke and Thomas Amdemariam--will be presenting: 'Africana: Recycling, Myth-Making, Alterity'. It features some of Nathalie Mba Bikoro's 'Alice in Wonderland' series, courtesy of Ed Cross Fine Art, and Elena Cecchinato's 'Transpadovano' and 'Museum Spirituality' collection. Works by both artists, posit that 'Africana', as embodied by people, objects, symbols and rituals, are in fact, a myth, and in constant flux. Through a range of media such as: photo-etchings; drawings; performance; and; photography, both Mba Bikoro and Cecchinato demonstrate how myths on gender, belonging, identity and memory are constantly being recycled and re-defined. Their works go someway in forging new identities, teetering on alterity, thereby demystifying linear notions of time and space. Meanwhile, TURF sees itself as a 'third space'---neither here nor there--where anyone can come, interact and engage with these profoundly human works, in a more inclusive visual dialogue. There will also be a short screening of 'Inhabit', by Todd Sines and 'The Last Safari', by Elizabeth Gilbert and Matt Goldman.
