LONDON.-Year_07, the London art fair scene’s fastest-rising star, will showcase yet more globally breaking galleries and artists for its second year as it moves to its new location of County Hall, Southbank.

London gallery Keith Talent is again hosting the most vibrant and vital international art fair on the London circuit during Frieze Art Fair week. From 11-14 October the rising galleries of tomorrow will come together under one roof.

With over two thirds of exhibitors returning, Year_07 is cementing its position after the success of its inaugural exhibition. With its anti-hierarchical policy and curatorial freedom, Year_07 is quickly becoming the major new generation event in London. The fair will showcase 55 dealers and artists (increasing from 32 in 2006) from the most exclusive and cutting edge galleries in the world, including the USA, Japan, Switzerland, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium, and newcomers include magical ARTROOM, Tokyo, Galerie Anne Barrault, Paris and CTRL Gallery, Houston.

Year_07 breaks away from the standard mould of art fairs by allowing ambitious and experimental artists and galleries to respond to the architectural space imaginatively, without restraint. Riverside venue County Hall will provide a richly traditional space of 19th century wood panelled rooms overlooking the Thames, in which artists are encouraged to engage with and make their own through their work - a reaction against the sterile and neutral atmosphere of conventional art fairs.

Fair Organisers from Keith Talent Gallery Simon Pittuck and Andrew Clarkin commented: “We are delighted to be returning for the second year running, especially into such an engaging space, and to continue this special legacy of putting on an art fair from the perspective of the gallery for the gallery. The fair is evolving naturally and holistically through experience and collaborations as we extend our international reach and we are thrilled to be able to welcome so many more new generation artists and gallerists from all corners of the globe to London.”

The art fair will be accompanied by a 128 page essay/catalogue.
