ARTROGER © Breaking News - My blog.

If ever you go to Dublin town may the road rise with you, and the wind be always behind you.

Yes Folks. Its official – The first Virtual Art Fair. Taking place on line in January 2011 for 7 days.

Participants include blue chippy galleries like David Zwirner, Hauser and Wirth, White Cube, Gagasion, Salon 94.

While the online fair permits free browsing, interactive capabilities will cost “visitors” $100. This means no more chit-chatting with dealers about the work they’re handling for the unwashed masses.

OK enough, enough!

Sunday – 22/08/2010 – I will be exhibiting my artwork in my first Virtual Art Fair. My friend Duncan is hosting a Virtual Art Fair.

Tours are free, booth space is free. Interactivity is free. Go, capitalism, go!
