STARKWHITE
Stand B76
Melbourne Art Fair
2-5 August 2012
Starkwhite will present a group show by represented artists at
the 2012 Melbourne Art Fair, including: Billy Apple, Martin Basher,
Whitney Bedford, Alicia Frankovich, Trenton Garratt, Glen Hayward,
Gavin Hipkins (with Karl Fritsch), Matt Henry, Jae Hoon Lee, Dane
Mitchell, Seung Yul Oh and John Reynolds.
The Melbourne Art Fair is Australia's premier fair, connecting
participating galleries with regional collectors primarily from
Australia and New Zealand. In a recent bid to raise its
international profile and broaden its collector base, the Melbourne
Art Foundation entered into an agreement with ART HK founder Tim
Etchells to manage the fair. Etchells brings a wealth of experience
to the task of re-positioning and operating the fair, along with a
global VIP database and Asian collector base. He is also behind a
new art fair being launched in Sydney next year and the agreement
with the Melbourne Art Foundation ensures the two alternating,
bi-annual fairs will work alongside each other.
Starkwhite is pleased to be participating for the first time in
the Melbourne Art Fair as the Foundation charts a new course into
the future aimed at re-positioning the event alongside other
high-profile and emerging fairs in the Asia-Pacific region, such as
Art Basel in Hong Kong (formerly ART HK), SH Contemporary, Art Los
Angeles Contemporary and Art Stage Singapore.
Starkwhite's participation in the 2012 Melbourne Art Fair has
been supported by Creative New Zealand.
Located in New Zealand on Auckland's Karangahape Road,
Starkwhite presents a programme of artists' projects, solo shows by
represented and invited artists, independently curated exhibitions
and occasional forays into new music and other interdisciplinary
practices.
