Clio Art Fair Reviews - A call to fame named Clio Art Fair

In a art world characterized by a proliferation of art fairs, Clio Art Fair has emerged to gain a spot in the pantheon of satellite Armory Show realities, and is officially doubled up becoming a Frieze Satellite since 2017.

Differentiating itself for the focus on independent artists, since 2014 Clio Art fair has been highlighting the work of independent artists without New York gallery representation. The raison d’être of the fair is to highlight and promote their work, while creating a platform for discovery and innovation.

The name is inspired by CLIO who in Greek mythology, is the muse of History. When Clio sings your  name  while  playing  her  harp,  your  name  is  admitted  to  the  mental  olympus  of  human history.  Reflecting  the  ambition  of  many  artists  seeking  recognition,  Clio Art  Fair  created  an alternative to the nepotism of the art world, and looks to highlight that which lives outside its domains.

Elegantly designed without booths and without commercial compartmentalization of spaces, the fair feels like a large curated group show where intergenerational artists work across media. There are no booths, no tables, no chairs in the exhibition space, instead, a team of art dealers graze the grounds prepared to trade on behalf of the artists.

Every  independent  artist  without  exclusive  representation  in  New  York  City,  can  submit  work from all over the world, and if selected, can be part of a curated international group show.

The  fair  becomes  a  window  shedding  light  into  current  artistic  practices  that  live  outside  the concerns  of  the  art  world  taking  risks  and  providing  artists  with  visibility. Through  a  series  of related events and programs, including a press preview, and multiple VIP openings, they have the  opportunity  to     meet  art  dealers,  curators,  art  critics,  art  lovers,  while  sipping  Italian champagne. A plus of the fair is free logistic assistance for the non New York based artists: free transportation and free storage in NYC few weeks before and after the Art Fair.

Most  notable,  is  how  Clio  combines  both  emerging,  middle  career,  and  iconic  independent artists  including,  Vito  Acconci,  Nina  Berman  (Whitney  Biennial  2010),  and  Thirza  Cuthand (Whitney Biennial 2019) in the same space, providing a show of substance where the quality of the work is prioritized over length of artists CVs.

The fair born in chelsea, will continue to run twice a year in the heart of Chelsea, the epicenter of the art world, nurturing artists while singing the musings of their eclectic practices.

Our journey dedicated to the reviews of previous editions of the Clio Clio Art Fair Reviews today to its first edition in 2014.

"The Clio Art Fair 2014 stood out for a mix composed of historical artists, those in the process of establishing  themselves,  or  completely  new  and  unknown  to  the  public,  as  well  as  to  the  art professionals in the Big Apple. Among the 33 artists on display, there were numerous works by established  artists,  including  some  drawings  by  Vito  Acconci,  and  a  photographic  series dedicated to the Bronx by Mel Rosenthal. No galleries were directly present at the event, which originated from the initiative of curator Alessandro Berni. "It's difficult to surprise a saturated city

like New York," says Berni. "I wanted to try with this initiative based on the denial of the gallery's role as an intermediary between the artist and the collector."

A review of all the Clio Art Fair Reviews artists included in the 2014 edition are visible here.

Clio Art Fair Artists Reviews is Returning Under the New York City Sky, A Beacon in the Art World

There is an outlet for both artists and art enthusiasts situated in the heartland of New York City, where creativity flows like a river of colors down the streets. Clio Art Fair, which happens biennially, is an exposition that reflects how perspective shapes our perceptions of reality. Clio, the Greek Muse of History and Poetry, is the recipient of the name of this fair, which was established in 2014 by the visionary Alessandro Berni. Clio embodies the essence of artistic expression and storytelling.

Embracing Diversity and Accessibility

As soon as you approach to Clio Art Fair Artists Reviews — A Beacon in the Art World, you will quickly become aware of an intriguing deviation from the conventional art fair experience. This is not a place where amazing exhibits or exclusive galleries are the focus. Rather, the emphasis is placed on the creation of an inviting and welcoming setting in which artists and attendees can engage on a deeper level. For the purpose of creating connection and interaction that is not limited by limitations, each artist is provided with their own place in which they can showcase their creations.

Pioneering Innovation and Empowerment

The leading edge has always been the place where Clio Art Fair is situated, since it not only accepts original cryptocurrency values as a payment method. Regardless, its core mission has remained fixed. Helping independent artists grow and make lasting connections with collectors.

Exploring Meaningful Narratives

The Clio Art Fair Reviews - Clio Art Fair is Returning Under the New York City Sky presented special projects that dive into thought-provoking ideas and topics, as well as its primary shows, which are the featured exhibits. While "I want to go Home" sheds light on the predicament of refugees and their sense of belonging, "A nest watching an avalanche" explores the pressing requirement for environmental stewardship. Artists face tough issues with sensitivity and intelligence through these initiatives, which invite spectators to explore the world from a different point of view.

Conclusion

While we ponder over viewpoint power at the Clio art fair, it is worth noting the endless possibilities of art to bring us together, motivate, and challenge our minds. The world, characterized by divisions and conflicts, finds some hope from this fair that calls for optimism, reminding one of humanity and the beauty around us.

Having accommodated diversity, promoted accessibility, and made space for new ideas, Clio Art Fair has redefined what an art fair in the 21st century should be like. Next time you are in New York City, just take a moment and enter into the world of Clio Art Fair.

Clio Art Fair | March 2019 [Guest Artist]

The meaning of CLIO

 The name is etymologically derived from the Greek root κλέω/κλείω meaning “to recount,” “to celebrate,” or “to make famous.” With a nod to its inspiration, CLIO ART FAIR has been created with the idea of showcasing the careers and achievements of already affirmed creative minds. By specifically targeting artists without any exclusive NYC gallery representation, CLIO ART FAIR focuses attention on the kinds of contemporary art and interventions that are being created by independent artists the world over, since 2014. Without the constraints and usual concerns of the art business, the selected artists have been freed up to use different materials and media and to deviate from accepted art practice definitions.The resulting work being exhibited seeks to foster a dialogue that transcends prescribed geographies, hierarchies, and markets; and to further opportunities for greater expression of new media and ever ground-breaking content.

  Clio art fair was born to challenge traditional art market methodologies. 

During its past editions, Clio Art Fair hosted the works of iconic independent artists including:

 Vito Acconci

Whitney Biennial 1977, 1981, 1991

Venice Biennial 1976, 1978, 2003

Nina Berman

Whitney Biennial 2010

 Zana Briski

Academy Award for Documentary Winner, 2004

The primary goal is to create a space for direct dialogue between artists and collectors, artists and curators without the presence of any long-term mediator. The fair focuses on valorizing artworks while respecting and highlighting their role within the architectural spaces, they inhabit.

Adding to the innovative nature of our vision, Clio is the first art fair to accept the primary crypto-values as a form of payment: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, since 2017.
