Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome all contemporary art enthusiasts, dealers and collectors... it's time for Berlin's largest art fair, on its 8th go-round this fall. Once again, more than 100 international galleries, projects and artists will present their most innovative and promising works, Berliner Liste, takes place this September 8 - 11
, 2011.
Berliner Liste covers a broad spectrum ranging from contemporary sculpture, painting, drawing to installation, video art, performance and photography.
If last year's 13,000 international guests are any indication, you can expect it to be big, at least that much so. Over the past years, Berliner Liste has expanded its photography section, which was also a resounding success, and 2011 will be no exception; Berliner Liste will again present exhibitors who exclusively show photography.
More than 100 promising international galleries, projects and artists from 23 countries will show their most innovative and sophisticated works. The fair has exhibition spaces from 10 sqm to 100 sqm for galleries, art projects and individual artists. The wide range of booth sizes is done so that especially young gallery owners and individual artists can initiate their first fair participation and offer access to international collectors and journalists.
For more established art dealers and galleries there are new options for more choice and flexibility in design of the fair spaces.
Located in the centre of Berlin, the fair will be host to more than 13.000 international visitors, with over 400 journalists. It presents the opportunity to make new contacts, international networking, establish a professional public presence plus support and advice in meeting international collectors and making sales.
The 8th edition of Berlin's largest art fair takes place in the big halls of the TRAFO Berlin. TRAFO is an unique location that provides more than 7000sqm exhibition space. Located in an impressive former power plant, TRAFO will give all participating galleries, artists and projects enough space to present their works in an extraordinary architectural surrounding.
In addition to the regular viewing hours, there is a First Choice viewing on Sept 7, 3 pm. The opening night is Sept 7, 2011, 6 pm to 11 pm

David Krut Projects is pleased to present HandPrint Portraits, Johannesburg, a solo exhibition of recent photographs by South African-born artist Gary Schneider. Schneider has been making HandPrint portraits since 1996, but has never before had a show solely devoted to this work. This exhibition marks the first time Schneider has explored a particular community outside of his family and friends.
In July 2011, David Krut Projects, Johannesburg, presented a survey of Schneider's work; it was his first exhibition in South Africa. While in Johannesburg, Schneider set up a small darkroom at Wits University Art School where he made over 50 HandPrints of artists and other members of the creative community. This New York exhibition presents a small selection of these portraits, including large-scale handprints of Senzeni Marasela, Jo Ractliffe, William Kentridge, Mmakgabo Helen Sebidi, Frank Malaba and David Goldblatt. In December 2011, Schneider will return to South Africa to continue this typological exploration in Cape Town.
"These photographs, made without a camera, are sweat and heat imprints into film emulsion. I consider handprint portraits to be as expressive as any of a face, more private, and possibly more revealing. They do not reveal race and, often, neither gender nor age. I borrow the imprint technique from the caves of Lascaux, (the earliest know examples of self identification) the 'Shroud of Turin', Marcel Duchamp's 'Female Fig Leaf,' Yves Klein's body prints, Jasper John's 'Studies for Skin', and 19th century Spirit Photography."
--Gary Schneider

"I would do it at half-time of the Super Bowl," was the reply given by Tina Fey, writer/star of NBC's 30 Rock when GLAAD
media awards host Andy Cohen of Bravo posed the hypothetical question of how she would come out if she was actually a closeted lesbian. "And my Plan B would be to insert 'I'm gay' under my photo during the In Memoriam segment of the Oscars!" When she was then asked to choose a partner from a group of lesbian icons Ms. Fey chose CNN financial guru Suze Orman over MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and several others. "It's the blazer," she explained, "although I do love Rachel's hair."
