10th Edition DiVA Fair _ Paris, France
Tribute to Wolf Vostell
Directed by Thierry Alet and Organized and Curated by Macu Moran, it is an exquisite fair, determined to premiere the highest quality of today’s new media artworks. Catalog can be bought upon request.
This edition Tribute is dedicated to Wolf Vostell. As part of this homage, some of his most representative audiovisual works will be projected and discussed subsequently in a panel with Rafael Vostell, Macu Moran and Alanna Lockward, who will also input a previous interview to another leading light on the field, Mr. Rene Block.
Along with FIAC, Show Off and Slick, 2008 Art Fairs at the city of Light, VideoArtWorld and Frere Independent present, from the 24th to the 27th of October, the latest edition of the Digital & Video Art Fair: DiVA Paris 2008. Strongly determined to premiere the most interesting new media contemporary art production, Ms. Macu Moran has been appointed as curator of this small but exquisite fair, hosted at one of the most outstanding Parisian venues: the KUBE Hotel.
The reasonable size of the fair has been carefully designed taking into consideration the especial nature of time-based art, allowing the visitors to properly appreciate each and all the artworks exhibited and enjoy with full attention this unique coreography for the senses.
Curator Macu Moran founded the VideoArtWorld network in 2005, soon becoming a leading website supporting the clarification of the new media art market that presents unique features to allow galleries connecting with curators and collectors simply and efficiently. The site will feature virtually the audiovisual works presented at the fair, widening access to international press, collectors and curators. This special show will grow the wave of new collectors interested in the less speculative art medium, a field definitely full of treasures.
