Goal:
The Tease Art Fair aims to establish a forum for cutting-edge, contemporary art ranging from to the programmatic to the experimental in the Rhine-Ruhr region, both for those interested in art in general as well as curators, exhibition and other art event organisers, gallery owners and art mediators. Tease will fill a gap in the Rhine region's prestigious art fair calender, in terms of when it is held as well as geographically. Instead of presenting new works by established artists, this event will provide opportunities to discover new artists with work that is rarely shown in a conventional art fair context.
Who can participate?
The competition is aimed at new galleries, artist-run spaces, local art societies, projects, curators, artists' groups as well as individual artists. Each contribution to the Tease Art Fair should reflect the participating exhibitor's intentions and focus. The idea is to provide a forum for art that is rarely shown in such a context, works of the highest quality.
Space:
The RheinTriadem used to be the administrative headquarters of the German Railway Authority. This neo-classical building provides us with approximately 5.000 square metres of exhibition space. The building offers more than 80 distinct rooms, varying from c. 20 - 90 square metres, for exhibitors to choose from. There are also large open spaces available for the same purpose, such as the courtyard, that would be ideal for presenting individual works of art.

Wednesday, April 18, 2007 from 6 pm.
Duration:
The exhibition will be open to the public from April 19- 22, 2007. Art Cologne (c. 6 minutes walk away) and DC-Fair (in Düsseldorf, c. 30 min. away by train) take location at the same time.
Opening Hours:
