Chicago's Neighbors and Barely fairs show the strengths of smaller, alternative formats
""Everyone is convinced to attend by the seriousness-the artists, the dealers and the collectors." Patrick Carlin Mohundro emphasizes the commitment of participants in the art scene."
"The entire stand features a somewhat steep incline intended to evoke International Waters' actual loading dock-like space in Brooklyn, merging craft with Minimalist sculpture."
"We organise the fair so that every single booth is operating at a different scale from the one before, creating a dynamic and engaging experience for attendees."
"New York's space treats its area more like a tabletop, showcasing playful, pastel-hued ceramic sculptures by Amy Brener, priced from $200 to $1,200."
Collectors and curators in Chicago engage with both Expo Chicago and smaller satellite fairs in McKinley Park and the Gold Coast. These intimate settings encourage conversations and appreciation for local artists and dealers. Patrick Carlin Mohundro showcases stained glass and assemblages, while the PAD stand features deconstructed architecture paintings. The fair's organization allows for varied booth scales, with different presentations, including playful ceramic sculptures. This approach highlights the vibrancy and diversity of the Chicago art scene.
