REA! ART FAIR 2021 CATALOGUE.
148x210 mm, 230 pp., paperback binding.
ReA! Art Fair draws inspiration from the original concept of the Biennale: a platform to celebrate emerging artists without a gallery or museum mediating the exchange between creators and their audience. Now in its second year, ReA! is pulling broadly from the current climate, attempting to showcase the “harmony” which can be created when cultural limitations are removed: an ergonomic society which is free of oppressive categorizations, one where a collection of narratives can emerge and exist together, without division. What separated the fair is the emphasis we place on Artists and individual creators, not only their selected works. The creators selected to exhibit at the Fair represent a shifting paradigm within the art world: individuals for whom innovation is hard-coded into the DNA of their potentiality. Everyone chosen to participate is an emerging artist without extensive exhibiting experience, to whom we want to give a chance of becoming a part of the art scene. For us, the medium - whether that was painting, video art, or a performance piece had little to do with our final decisions, what was essential was the execution - if the idea that the Artist was searching to communicate, corresponded to the visual representation. ReA! Art Fair acts as a platform, a starting point, a link between an emerging artist and the art world. The artists’ evaluation is based on guidelines that also consider the different career points - from that perspective, the Fair acts as a kickstart, ensuring steady artistic growth in their future career. The reason why the exhibition spans so many types of artworks, ranging from oil paintings to performing arts, is because we aim to change society’s point of view about the value of art. It isn’t just about collecting or decorating your home, but rather about creating a connection with the world as a political being where one begins to own, sustain and encourage ideas.
