An Art Fair Booth Tailor-Made for You!
Our exhibition architect plans each booth in cooperation with each exhibitor individually. In order to offer the quality of the works the appropriate space, solo shows are preferred.
As a rule of thumb, we place one artist per 10 square meters of floor space. Salon-style hanging is prohibited unless it is conceptually based on the work. Booth presentation needs final approval from our team of curators.
Exhibition walls
- 2.5 meter high
- Wooden frame with concrete panels on both sides
- Reusable and contribute to the environmental friendliness of the expo
- Suitable for labeling, drilling and dowelling, the same as standard gallery showroom practice
- All walls are freshly wallpapered in white, creating a „white cube“ style
- All booths are well illuminated with 1.5m long neon tubes, ready for your work.
