Press Release
THE FREE ART FAIR THREE
12-18 October 2009
www.freeartfair.com
The Free Art Fair will take place for the third and final time in London =
in 2009. The art fair where all the work is given away at the end will =
be the biggest best most fun version ever. For once instead of art going =
to the highest bidder or those who can afford it, someone who really =
loves an artwork will be able to have it for free. Artists participating =
will be asked to incorporate the idea of free into their work by making =
work that they always wanted to make but felt like they couldn't.
Last year 50 artists gave away art including Stella Vine, Bob & Roberta =
Smith, Gavin Turk, Chantal Joffe, Danny Rolph, Harry Pye and many =
others. People queued for three nights to become free art fair =
collectors, 2000 catalogues were given away, and thousands of people saw =
the exhibition. The giveaway was discussed as a counterpoint to the =
commercialisation of the art world in global publications and was =
featured live on all the main UK TV channels.
This year's fair will be the last in London. The Free Art Fair is made =
entirely without any budget and with everyone giving what they love or =
do best for free. The location and artists will be confirmed on =
www.freeartfair.com
