Factory present:
"Fountain" is a guerrilla-style art fair - under the radar, independent and highly influential. This independent aspect gives Fountain its edge: young Brooklyn based galleries showcasing fresh work without official booth spaces or selection committee juries. In form and spirit, the artwork shown truly reflects the avant-garde and in-your-face attitude equated with the Dada movement.
Fountain, now in its second year, following successful runs with strong sales records in New York and Miami in 2006, will take place from Thursday, February 22nd through Monday, February 26th. The ground level, 5000 square foot event hall features concrete floors, high ceilings and a full block of windows. This exceptional space is easily accessible through multiple street-level entrances facing the West Side Highway, conveniently close to the Armory Show's Pier 94.
Come and experience
the unfiltered, uncouth and enterprising excitement of Fountain. See advanced
art as it was meant to be seen – without blinders, without “taste
merchants" – straight from the source.
Fountain is made possible in part by the support of arts services organizations
including the Brooklyn Arts Council, Fractured Atlas,
Nurture Art and the Williamsburg Gallery Association.
