“Kaikai Kiki presents GEISAI #11, the one-of-a-kind art fair conceived by Takashi Murakami, which allows artists to represent themselves and present their work directly to an audience of collectors, art professionals and art enthusiasts in a professional art fair setting. While space is limited, booth registration for GEISAI #11 is available online on a first-come-first-serve basis to artists of all nationalities, with no restriction on medium.”

My first exposure to Geisai came today when I read about the juror selection for Gesai 11 over @ ArtForum. Not surprised to see an artist-run initiative trying to circumnavigate the gallery/art fair model by representing themselves.

Classic “cut out the middle man” model…. will try to check it out at its ArtBasel Miami outpost.
