Art Forum Berlin, an international fair for contemporary art, asked us to configure the Freestyle Hall, a space for newer
galleries with an integrated catering zone at the 13th Art Forum. The spatial
concept of the Hall was based on the idea of a heterarchical organisation. The
units within this system were manifested in a variety of forms: galleries as
spatial elements, artistic positions as intellectual and aesthetic entities,
amongst which dealers,
collectors and visitors act as players. A sympathy with Tthe equal value
attached to each of these various individual interactions is integral to the
particular character of an event like the Art Forum. The successful realisation of this concept resulted in a complex
and inherently logical spatial solution which is to be revisited in similar
form at the Art Forum 2009.
