SHOW OFFís ìEmergenceî section is dedicated to featuring young emerging galleries with less than three years of experience under their belts. With SHOW OFFís new commitment to Solo Shows, young galleries will have a unique opportunity to feature a single artist and create a solo show of their work. 12m2 booths at an all-inclusive affordable price make Show Offís section for emerging galleries one not to be missed.

Galleries will enjoy a prime location at the foot of the Grand Palais and the FIAC.

This new emerging galleries section will include :

- RUSSIAN TEA ROOM, Paris, Featuring DMITRY SOKOLENKO www.rtrgallery.com

The Russiantearoom Gallery opened its doors in Paris in 2007, dedicated to promoting the work of contemporary Russian artists throughout Europe.

Director Liza Fetissova will present the work of Dmitry Sokolenko at SHOW OFFís 2010 fair.

Born in 1977 in Russia, the microbiologist-turned-photographer works with simple forms of points and lines on a plane, complicating these seemingly simple forms with carefully chosen titles that invoke deeper semantic questions and complicate the space between the verbal and the visual.

- Ladiray Gallery, London, featuring VINCENT BIZIEN www.jeromeladiray.com

Having established itself four years ago in France, Ladiray Gallery will open its doors in London in 2010.

The gallery represents 20th-century avant-garde artists specializing in modern and contemporary drawing. For SHOW OFF, the Ladiray Gallery will feature the work of French artist Vincent Bizien, inheritor of expressionist energy and a major figure of the French contemporary drawing world.

Room Art Space opened in 2008 under Sandie Macrae, and will feature at SHOW OFF the work of the young British artist Gordon Cheung. Raised in London, Cheung’s works traverses cultures through a juxtaposition of images, symbols and ideas from a diverse range of sources.

Cheung’s diverse use of material recalls the globalized world at the crux of illusion and disillusion. He won the prize Laing Art Solo in July 2007 and his works are part of international collections in the Hirshhorn Museum, Museum Whitworth or the ASU Art Museum.

SHOW OFF, qui a confié ses relations presse à Communic’Art, s’installe à nouveau sur le Port des Champs Elysées situé aux pieds du Grand Palais et de la FIAC.
