She discusses the ever more globalised art scene and the growing culture of biennales and art fairs, noting that many of the biennials take place in countries «which are politically and economically problematic or in crisis, and it is about the projection of one context into another; trying to impose some western idea of how inspirational art can be to those people and then leaving that place and not taking any responsibility for the idea of intellectual freedom they have proposed.»

Ahead of his time, with so many vague and unformed but interesting ideas, it is fair to say that his spatial concept foreshadowed installation and environmental art and his promotion of gesture as art prompted performance as art.

The new fair, coinciding with, and within walking distance of Frieze London, in Regent's Park, was based on the idea of applying a contemporary approach to selling pre-21st-century art, from ancient to modern.

Dowell has shown his paintings in a number of exhibitions around the United States including Safe Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, Sister Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, CANADA, NY, Jack Geary Contemporary, NY, The 2013 ArtPadSF Contemporary Art Fair, Beta Pictoris, San Francisco, CA, Festival of Ideas for the New City, The New Museum, New York (2011), and Sara Meltzer Gallery, New York, among others.

«Some [art fairs] are based on a naïve idea that if you get a large audience you can achieve more of a cultural impact... I think that in international exhibitions, more depth is needed — these exhibitions are usually researched and prepared too quickly for that depth to be achieved...

To cement the idea that this was «a major league show,» said Max Fishko, a managing partner of Art Market Productions, the Brooklyn company that produced the fair, «we needed those sales.»

My favourite Basel art experiences was visiting the Volta art fair which was situated in an industrial suburb of Basel and had a very exciting showing of international cutting edge galleries that took big risks with new avenues of exploration or had novel ideas on curation — new art stars could be seen forming among the interstellar dust — it was good to see my art friend Martin Brown here with a good one man show at his London based gallery — Fred who were showing here.

It all started 15 years ago with an idea of a small art fair.

If artist Robert Rauschenberg and Bell Labs engineer Billy Kluver were still alive today to visit the Contemporary Jewish Museum's new exhibition, «NEAT: New Experiments in Arts and Technology,» it's a fair bet they would both be pleased to see the once - radical ideas they espoused in the 1960s — about breaking down barriers between artists and engineers — thriving in the current work of the Bay Area digital artists on display.

From the very beginning, his goal was to emphasise the idea of quality within the field of new art and, and to discover and promote emerging artists by, among other things, a highly active exhibition program, the publication of catalogues, and participation in international art fairs.

Elsewhere, cocking a snook at the idea of art as commodity, Matthew Darbyshire has redesigned the fair's ticket office in lurid pink (inspired, apparently, by the interior of a certain mobile - phone store) and Gabriel Kuri has replaced the ashtrays with sculptures.

The salon - style hang is both comforting and discomfiting, playing on the idea of our expectations of art fairs in general.

With a nod to its inspiration, CLIO ART FAIR has been created with the idea of showcasing the careers and achievements of already affirmed creative minds.
