ARTmART 2008
Künstlerhaus
Teil der Vienna Art Week
The first international CHEAPART took place on April 25, 2007 in Vienna Austria, under the title ARTmART. The exhibition was hosted at the Kuenstlerhaus, a historic building in the center of Vienna parallel to Vienna Artweek, under the auspices of the Hellenic Culture Organization. 218 artists participated from all over Europe while 70 selected artists arrived from Greece. ARTmART CHEAPART Wien was organized and curated by CHEAPART, Christian Rupp, Lorenz Seidler, and Kuenstlerhaus, as both artists and art organizations in Austria joined in on this pilot event.
Having twelve years of experience and a successful line of exhibitions, CHEAPART was called upon to coorganize its contemporary art market model within the Austrian capital. This project is one the few times in which such a large body of Greek artists present their work on an international level. In addition, it is extremely rare that a Greek organization is invited to develop, organize and coordinate such an event abroad, acknowledging in such its experience and expertise.
During ARTmART, artists presented new work entities, engaging in dialogue with the art community and the public. ARTmART, operating on CHEAPART’s prototype, creates opportunity for communication outside of regular discourse networks – and functions as a probe for channeling contemporary art to a diverse spectrum of society.
ARTmART 2007 opened on April 25th at Kuenstlerhaus Vienna in the presence of the president of the Kuenstlerhaus Mr. Joachim Lothar Gartner, Kuenstlerhaus Art director Mr. Peter Bogner, Ambassador of Greece in Austria Mr. Theodoros Sotiropoulos, two of the ARTmART coorganizers, Christian Rupp and Georg Georgakopoulos, the artists and a large crowd.
The exhibition enjoyed vast mass media exposure, including television channels ORF and 3 sat. The official number of visitors provided by the Kuenstlerhaus accumulated to over 5,500, ranking the event as one of its most successful. The contemporary art scene of Greece showed its dynamic within the Austrian capital, and foreshadowed its potential and positioning within southeast Europe.
