Participation in PooL Art Fair

Application
Currently accepting applications for PooL Art Fair New York (march 2012) and Guadeloupe (June 2012) Contact us for the application form: info@frereindependent.com tel. + 1 (212) 604 0519

Selection
The selection is based on the following criteria:
Quality of the craft
Potential for the artist to evolve in the direction he/she chooses
Our ability to place the work in the general discourse of contemporary art today
Aesthetically in tune with the over all artistic direction of the show

PooL Art Fair encourages all media. However we only accept original Contemporary art works and do not accept craft, decorative arts, furniture, functional glass or ceramic.

Photomechanical reproductions such as offset lithographs, prints run off a commercial printing press, embellished commercial reproductions or giclée (with the exception of photography or digital media categories) are not allowed. Exhibitors that are unsure may contact us.

Presentation of post cards, calendars, posters and T. Shirts for sale is permitted pending approval from show management.

Artists may share their rooms. Artists run centers, and collectives are also welcome to share room space. Any sharing of room space is subject to management approval and input.

Exhibitor Package
The package includes an entire suite or portion of the suite. Participating artists have chosen a variety of approaches in the past. Some take advantage of the original aura of a ”hotel room” to present site-specific installations, others have filled up the room with large canvases and recreated an artists’ studio atmosphere.

Dates
Check in and set up is Thursday December 1st from 3pm.
Check out and break down before Monday December 7th 11am
Exhibition is open daily December 2, 3 & 4, 3pm to 10pm
*Exhibitors must observe opening hours
