Comment by AB: A new concept in art fairs that's really not an art fair at all. It's much more. Sure, part of it looks like an art fair featuring an eclectic array of international galleries, and that may fool you, but also on the docket are seminars, keynotes, off-site events like tours of artist studios, and an entire exhibition area dedicated to the ever-complexifying overlap of art and technology. All day every day. In other words, an overall experience that's definitely worth a visit. Just remember to keep an open mind. And now for the visuals (mainly from the "art fair" part)...
