ZOOM Contemporary Art Fair. A very good show. Especially the poolside performance by the Israeli-Moroccan choreographer/artist Orit Ben-Shitrit who now lives in NYC.
Verge statement: “In its inaugural year, ZOOM presents a selective group of regional and international galleries representing artists from the Middle East and its Diaspora…
…To date, showcasing of contemporary art from this geographic region has been fragmented within the broader context of the international art fair forum…
…ZOOM aims to present a cohesive perspective that will foster interconnected discourse by means of exhibitions, academic programming, and curatorial input…
…Running concurrent to Art Basel Miami Beach and its satellite fairs, ZOOM aspires to take a leading role in increasing the awareness of contemporary art from this diverse region, while enhancing exposure of Middle Eastern art to new audiences of exhibitors, critics, collectors, and the public alike.”
