From 6 to 8 December 2024, the Association of Galleries (AGA) will hold the third edition of the Contemporary Art Fair |catalog| in Moscow, which will be attended by 55 Russian galleries. The programme will also include Fresh Talents, an educational project for young artists. The venue will once again be Ivan Sytin’s historic printing house on Pyatnitskaya Street, also known as the First Model Printing House. In this edition of the fair each gallery will show at least one young artist.
The fair was organised by the Association of Galleries (AGA). The initiators of the project are gallery owners Alexander Sharov, Alina Kryukova, Dmitry Khankin and Sofia Trotsenko, founder of the Vinzavod Centre for Contemporary Art.
Contemporary Art Fair |catalog| was founded by the professional community with the aim of developing the Russian art market. The project offers a new democratic approach to exhibiting: all galleries participate on equal terms, and places are allocated by drawing lots. Galleries present headliners in spring and new authors in winter. In the upcoming winter edition of the fair, all participants must present at least one young artist at their booth.
All AGA gallery members participate in the fair, others are invited by a panel of experts, which includes the founders of the fair. Since its launch in 2023, |catalog| has become an important platform for dialogue between artists, collectors and art dealers. The fair contributes to the development of the Russian art scene, expanding the audience of contemporary art and setting new standards in the art market. Galleries from different Russian cities – Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Vladivostok, Nizhny Novgorod and others – are invited to participate.
|catalog| supports several areas of activity of Gallery Associations, the most important of which is the development of the Russian art market. Being the most important institutions of contemporary art, the fairs stimulate the growth of the market not only through their quantity, but also through their regularity: |catalog| takes place twice a year in Moscow (spring and winter).
The Association of Galleries advocates building professional and long-term relationships between art market participants and initiates an accreditation programme for art dealers. Professionals can get accreditation by invitation of the members of the Association and the initiators of the fair, as well as by leaving an application for accreditation on the official website of the Association of Galleries and the fair |catalog|. Accreditation will allow to systematise and raise professional standards of work, create a transparent and effective platform for art market participants. More information about the programme and the ‘Art Dealer’s Leaflet’ can be found on the official website of the Association of Galleries.
Also, as part of its work to increase the transparency of the art market, the Association of Galleries will present a document on pricing principles developed by leading experts by the opening of the fair, inviting the main players to discuss it. The fair itself will serve as a platform following the declared principles of transparency. The project will complement the documents that have been adopted in previous editions of |catalog|.
The Contemporary Art Fair |catalog| is supported by its partner Russian Railways. The patron of the third edition of the Contemporary Art Fair is the development company Vesper. Partners will be the company ‘DOM.RF’, service for buying tickets for urban entertainment ‘MTS Live’, electronic library ‘Yandex Books’ and service for smart shopping ‘Yandex Pay’. Yandex Books will release a special audio guide telling about all the projects of the fair. For the third time, the partner of the special project Fresh Talents, which in this edition is realised together with artists from the Rodchenko School, is the company ‘Borodin’s Meat House’. The gastronomic partner of the fair was the GT group project. The official water of the fair is edis.
