Open Space - Art Cologne - Today it’s obvious that art fairs are seeking for new approaches on what makes their central business: communicating and bringing art to the collectors, the curators and the people. In the year 2005 we have launched OPEN SPACE as an experimental, project related platform and unique environment, embedded in the very center of the Art Cologne. It was one of the first attempts to rethink and reinvent the framework of an art fair apart from standard booth settings. Coming up with an unique setting and context of carefully developed presentations of artworks and projects, thus giving a fresh look to the galleries and customers needs, OPEN SPACE has succeeded as the best frequented and reviewed area of the Art Cologne and a made to measure for some others.

Art Review Fair Goes From Feast to Tasting Menu By ROBERTA SMITH - Published: March 15, 2008 It is hard to know if the once-distinguished International Asian Art Fair has been dealt a fatal blow or just knocked backward into starter mode, a phase it had previously managed to skip.
From Art Market: Chinese buyers thin on the ground at first Shanghai art fair By Georgina Adam | Posted 27 September 2007 SHANGHAI. Asia’s first truly international contemporary art fair, ShContemporary, held in the Shanghai Exhibition Centre (5-8 September), was described by dealers who attended as the best ever event on the continent, although they acknowledged that the competition was thin. One hundred galleries took part and around 39,500 visitors attended the event. The aim of the fair, organised by ex-Art Basel director Lorenzo Rudolf, the Swiss gallerist Pierre Huber and the Italian fair organiser BolognaFiere, was to give western galleries access to the potentially lucrative Asian market, as well as providing a platform for Asian artists to become better known. About 50 of the exhibitors were Asian (26 were from China), 12 from the US and only two from Britain. France has established a significant presence in Shanghai (although plans for a Centre Pompidou in the city have stalled, see p15); and there were 11 French dealers and a large number of French visitors, but few Americans.
