Joburg Art Fair - Booth 09
13 - 16 March 2008
Sandton Convention Center, Johannesburg, South Africa
Whatiftheworld / Gallery has been selected as one of 20 galleries from around Africa to exhibit at the inaugural Joburg Art Fair from the 13th to the 16th of March 2008. On sale will be the largest collection of African and South African contemporary art the world has ever seen - 5000 square metres of the Sandton Convention Centre have been booked for the event. Artlogic, the producers of the event, has invited galleries from three continents that focus on African contemporary art to participate in the first Joburg Art Fair. The Joburg Art Fair aims to develop new interest in contemporary African art. Whereas major cities such as New York and London art scenes are very dynamic, the Joburg art scene needs to reach out to people outside of the obvious art circle in order to invigorate itself and make itself more accessible. The fair will include a curated show by Simon Njami as well as a number of talks aimed at a broad base of people including academics, first time buyers and international collectors.
