Detail: Building on the success of its international art fair program, SCOPE Art Fair is proud to announce the return of its most successful art fair, SCOPE Basel 2008, June 3 – June 8, 2008. Situated directly on the Rhine river, SCOPE Basel’s 60,000 square-foot, air conditioned, glass faced pavilion is within walking distance of Art Basel 39. Serviced by shuttle, water taxi and pedicab, SCOPE Basel will present its most international fair focusing on emerging galleries from all over the world.
Alongside featured curation, screenings, and special projects, SCOPE Basel is a flagship invitational fair chosen by an elected selection committee. Each committee member will be a representative from a particular city or region, inviting the most significant emerging galleries, curators, and artist projects, striving to scout the most emerging contemporary talent. SCOPE's one hundred international exhibitors will uphold its unique tradition of one-person and thematic group shows, bringing visitors a real-time international survey of the emerging contemporary art world available nowhere else.
Consistently redefining what an art fair is, SCOPE Art will introduce Museum Presents, a non-commercial exhibition space in the SCOPE Basel 2008 pavilion focusing on emerging contemporary art market trends. Concentrating on emerging talent from India, North Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, and Indonesia, SCOPE’s first edition of Museum Presents will feature India.
Introducing artists, curators, and cutting-edge galleries to new audiences internationally has made SCOPE the most comprehensive destination for the emerging art world available anywhere. With art fairs in Miami, Basel, New York, London, and the Hamptons, SCOPE is proud to be an influential presence in the expanding global art market.
