Scope New York 07

Lincoln Center, New York

International contemporary art fair

Founded in 2002, Scope’s mission is to broaden the art world by presenting cutting-edge contemporary art and emerging culture. Scope achieves this goal by presenting up-and-coming dealers, curators, and artists alongside museum quality programming. Over the past five years, Scope has produced seventeen art fairs in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, and the Hamptons. We are excited to announce the premiere of Scope Basel in June 2007. Scope has built a reputation as the art fair that launches important young galleries and artists, making it the resource for established and burgeoning collectors, museum and corporate curators, and the general public.

The fair distinguishes itself by upholding its unique tradition of requiring each exhibitor to focus on the work of one contemporary artist or to curate a focused statement. In addition to presenting cutting-edge work by emerging artists, Scope presents a full program of VIP events, children’s programs, grants and awards, video and film screenings, and art performances. In addition to the Emerging Artist Grants, Independent Curator Awards, and Performance-scope Grants, funds are given to grass-roots organizations that support under-funded art education programs in the local communities Scope exhibits.

Scope’s continued mission is to turn viewers into users. Founded in 2002, Scope gives a view of the contemporary art-world available nowhere else. Scope international art fairs present up-and-coming dealers, curators, and artists, alongside museum quality programming.

Scope hunts down that most endangered of species: the emerging artist. Both moving target and elusive chameleon, Scope's 65 participants capture this exotic breed in their roving crosshairs. Challenging passive viewing with 25,000 square feet of open-range, Scope New York exposes visitors to a real-time survey of the contemporary art world available nowhere else. Building on last year's success, which broke all sales and attendance figures for an alternative art fair, Scope New York 2007 is proud to announce its new location: a 25,000 square-foot pavilion at New York's most famous cultural icon, Lincoln Center. Situated in Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park, at the corner of 62nd Street and 10th Avenue, Scope New York is just blocks from the Armory Show.

Scope New York returns for its sixth-straight year with its new location. Featuring galleries from four continents and 20 countries, including China, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, UK, Spain, and Canada, Scope New York 2007 is the most internationally diverse fair to date. Scope's sixty-five international exhibitors will uphold its unique tradition of one-person and thematic group shows presented alongside museum-quality programming, collector tours, screenings, and special events. The fair opens daily at 10 AM.

Continuing its mandate to redefine what an art fair is, this year's Scope New York will take advantage of its unique location with special projects by Scope exhibiting artists. Visitors to the fair will be embraced and initiated by roving performers, sound and video pieces interspersed throughout the fair. Nestled atop a snow blown "mountain," viewers can seek sanctuary in a veritable hunting lodge, where art stars, icons and iconoclasts interview each other and warm to a crackling fire.
