artDC will emphasize special sections within the fair, from the cutting edge
SLICE, where visitors can discover the hottest trends in the art market; China
Focus, a curated exhibition of contemporary artists from Shanghai; to galleries
that are presented in the context of New Media, installations that are reserved for
digital and video art; Project Spaces, featuring large-scale sculptures and
installations; and our unique Video Lounge & Bar that will feature video projects
by regional artists participating in a local juried competition organized by artDC
and Flashpoint. artDC is designed to be an exciting platform for a broad
spectrum of contemporary art, while also paying homage to the modern
collections that are the pillar of so many local institutions and exhibitions.
Many of the City’s museums and arts institutions will collaborate with artDC as
part of an enriching education program and will include seminars, special tours
and off-site activities throughout the four day fair.
