Fountain Miami Continues To Spray

After an exciting Saturday night we wake up to find some talented bloggers have been giving Brooklyn some props. Here's a taste:

Rhizome:

My inbox is already filled with messages from galleries announcing their special projects. While business-as-usual is the bottom-line, Fountain Miami has a rather distinct agenda. Founded in New York City in March 2006, Fountain is "a guerrilla-style art fair... an effort to leverage support for independent galleries largely overlooked by corporate-sponsored art fairs."

Art Fairs International:

AFI: How did you feel when The Brooklyn Rail dubbed Fountain “a perfect example of avant-energetics”? Did you feel that you’d achieved what you had originally set out to do for the art world?

David Kesting: Yeah. James Kalm wrote that about NY 2006 and then included us in his review of Miami 2006. I cannot tell you how supportive our critics have been... I think the reason for the good press really is due to the relationships galleries and artists develop during the exhibition. I think critics see that and realize the authenticity of what’s happening and they buy into what we are doing in a big way.
