We are exhibiting and screening at the contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.), “a young art fair that can easily claim to have the most impressive venue of all German art fairs, the Sanaa cube, designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA)” (art resort). The glass cube inside the Saana cube will become the c.a.r. video lounge where we show selected highlights from The 6th Berlin International Directors Lounge along works from the participating galleries. Looking forward to meet you.

contemporary art ruhr (C.A.R.)  is an innovative and dynamic fair format. It has established two art fairs annually since 2006.

In autumn with an art fair for contemporary art – C.A.R. covers the entire spectrum of fine arts and their most important current influences.

The objective of contemporary art ruhr is to develop an arts marketplace by a unique conception that the Ruhr can call its own. Unbiased. Minimalist. Vibrant.
