The fair is paired with an exceptional event, the 9th Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art
which will be held from September 17 to December 31, 2007.
A contemporary art fair which starts
with the opening of an international biennial
is fundamentally created in a dynamic synergy.
Docks Art Fair opens up to international art,
willing to invite galleries from all over the world.
Docks Art Fair is meant to be an addition to
the Biennial as it highlights the key role of galleries in supporting and promoting art today.
Our wish is to ensure that all exhibitors take advantage of the presence of many international contemporary art professionals (about 1,600 during the first two days - curators, critics, journalists) as well as many collectors from around the world, for the opening of the Biennial.
Every new edition of the Biennial attracts more professional visitors and is always praised by journalists, which ranks it among the top-two biennials with the Istanbul Biennial,
according to international art specialized media.
Hans-Ulrich Obrist is the curator of the 2007 Biennial.
His international reputation will be a guarantee of credibility for professionals.
He will be inviting 50 international curators to participate to the biennial and to answer this question : « According to you, who seems to be the most dominant artist of the decade ? ».
This year’s theme, emerging art and the bet on the future that it arouses, is a perfect reflection of the objective we wish to give Docks Art Fair : betting on young talents. |
