Building on its network of highly successful fairs in both Miami and New York, PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is pleased to announce the creation of PULSE London. This new venture has been added to PULSE’s growing line-up in response to demand from exhibitors who are now greatly anticipating the forthcoming London event. PULSE London — a four-day fair — will provide a highly visible international platform for the programs of over 40 established and emerging galleries from around the world, including PPOW (New York), Noga Gallery of Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv), Rubicon (Dublin,), White Space (Beijing), Shoshana Wayne Gallery (Los Angeles), Rhona Hoffman Gallery (Chicago) and DNA (Berlin). Fourteen international galleries will make their debut with PULSE in London.
Since its founding in Miami in December 2005 under the direction of Helen Allen, the expansion of PULSE Contemporary Art Fair has helped to broaden the global art fair market, presenting high-qualityinnovative artwork from innovative prominent galleries worldwide. PULSE Miami 2006 reported record breaking sales and near-double attendance with close to 12,000 visitors. The Wall Street Journal focused on the quality of works at PULSE compared to the other fairs, “You had only to go to the independent PULSE art fair, near the Design District, to get a shock of pleasure at work by established but non-celebrity artists”, while The Baer Faxt reported that visitors and art professionals had voted PULSE the best fair of all Miami fairs, “in a surprising tie” with Art Basel Miami Beach. PULSE New York 2007 attracted 9,500 attendees, up from 8,000 in 2006, bringing Magnus Muller from Berlin to report that it was “their best fair ever”.
PULSE London will be held at Mary Ward House, home of the legendary 19th-century novelist and social reformer Mary Ward. It is a unique facility located in London’s fashionable Bloomsbury district. This historic address is convenient to the city’s arts and culture destinations, including the British Museum, as well as Bloomsburys famed gardened squares.

New Venue for PULSE Miami 2007
PULSE Miami, the pioneering fair of the Wynwood District, will move from the tent it occupied for two years to the recently renovated, 40,000 sq. ft. + SOHO Building located just blocks away at 2136 NW 1st Avenue & NW 21st Street. The new venue offers a much more spacious environment to its exhibitors and collectors and will feature an outdoor lounge space, large scale installations and café. The fair will follow its successful format, representing 80 galleries invited by the PULSE Invitational Committee; however, this year the Committee hopes to expand the list of participating IMPULSE galleries who will be selected based on their submissions of one and two person projects. PULSE Miami will take place December 5-9, 2007.
