00:00***TODAY IS STANDARD TIME***
00:12***MOST OF THE TIME***
00:56We have
01:25over 160 galleries from 43 countries. So it's really the entire art world from various
01:34regions, including regions from the global south. We have a gallery from Senegal participating
01:41in the fair for the first time. We have new galleries from Korea. We have our first gallery
01:45from Australia. So a really sort of global and representative edition of the fair.
01:51Frizz is about getting the entire art community together. We have collectors that have travelled
01:56from across the world to be here. We have so many galleries with incredible presentations.
02:01So this is really the moment where everyone gets together and great sales are already
02:05happening. So I'm not concerned at all.
02:51It's always acted as a place of discovery. We have lots of new galleries that are doing
02:55the fair for the first time. Lots of young galleries that are bringing new artists. A
02:59lot of established galleries that are bringing established positions, younger artists. So
03:03there's really a sort of broad diversity to what we do. And the best possible outcome
03:08is to have as many people enjoy the fair and come and discover artists that they already
03:13know and new artists.
03:22Okay, now we're talking.
03:24Are you ready?
03:30Okay, just a second.
03:35Lights.
03:51Okay, can you slide it down?
04:21Okay.
04:52Okay.
04:55We have artists from all over the world. All of the artists respond to non-Western traditions
05:01coming from either indigenous worlds or diasporic and brown communities. So we have a very wide
05:10range of practices ranging from like painting to experimentations with ceramic, installation,
05:17clay slabs and many others. I think it's important for an art fair to open opportunities
05:23for artists that otherwise probably would not be represented in an international art
05:27fair. It's also important to support younger emerging experimental galleries that are doing
05:33great things around the world. And it's also important to think that art fairs, well, are
05:39art fairs but also they can work as exhibitions in the way that they show respect and focus
05:46on the artistic practice itself.
