Celebrating it’s 5th Appearance at the 43rd ART COLOGNE
April, 22 – 26 2009
OPEN SPACE is facing new challenges and bright perspectives on board of its broadly renewed and streamlined spaceship. The 2009 edition of Art Cologne will accompany OPEN SPACE with a fresh and remarkable list of international galleries – and the new location in hall 11 will welcome all art lovers with the engaging experience of a set design that is concentrated, intensive and clear. OPEN SPACE will be placed on the top level of the new space and is ready to provide both, a quite new approach and the continuity of its own experimental roots. Launched in the year 2005 as a project related platform and unique environment for contemporary art, OPEN SPACE became a pioneer and a brand in reinventing the framework of an art fair apart from standard booth settings. Now it’s time for the next level.
PARTICIPANTS International galleries with a current program of advanced contemporary art present a singular artistic position and/or outstanding work of art. Participants will be expressly invited and selected by the curatorial committee for OPEN SPACE. All participants and presentations will be combined to an unique environment of contemporary art.
