Free Art Fair
The Free Art Fair was an exhibition of contemporary art works and performance art that took place in London in 2007, 2008, and 2009. Each fair culminated with all the art works being given away at the end. Jasper Joffe, the founder, claims he set up the fair to "do something different from what everyone else is doing at this time of year and non-commercial, and something that excites people and values art not selling." 〔http://uk.reuters.com/article/2008/10/19/uk-britain-art-idUKTRE49I1N320081019〕
==Background==
In 2007 Jasper Joffe set up the first Free Art Fair with the participation of 25 artists all giving their art away for free in three empty shop spaces in Portman Village, near Marble Arch, London. It was described as the "most radical departure from art fair commercialism" that year.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3668418/Art-sales-Frieze-Art-Fair.html〕 Taking place in October at the same time as the Frieze Art Fair it was written about as an alternative asking questions of the market driven art fairs.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2008/oct/16/artmarkets-friezeartfair〕
In 2008 the fair took place again near Marble Arch. It was reported that £100,000 of art was given away with people queuing up for two nights to get artwork by artists including Gavin Turk and Stella Vine.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7680731.stm〕
In 2009 the fair moved to the Barbican Centre.〔http://www.barbican.org.uk/artgallery/event-detail.asp?ID=9734〕 50 artists participated including Marlene Dumas〔http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/article6855135.ece〕 one of the world's most expensive female artists by auction results at the time.〔http://elitechoice.org/2008/07/10/marlene-dumas-is-worlds-most-expensive-female-artist/〕
