Joburg Based in Johannesburg, FNB Art Joburg is the leading and longest running contemporary African art fair on the continent. For the last 17 years, FNB Art Joburg has played an instrumental role in developing and sustaining a commercial industry that centres around African and diasporic practitioners. A platform where curatorial and commercial interventions meet, the fair is divided into six specialised sections: gallery HUB, gallery LAB, MAX, GIF, ETC, AUX, and ORG sections. Referred to as gallery HUB, the fair’s central section presents the best in contemporary Africa art from across the continent and the world to reflect the fair’s objective to be a quality rather than quantity focused fair. Adjacent to gallery HUB, and looking to the future of contemporary African art, is gallery LAB. An incubation to develop emerging galleries and hybrid art spaces, gallery LAB will present and test new ideas and business models aimed at transforming the contemporary African art landscape. The MAX section houses installations or works that would present a challenge if presented in the conventionally sized gallery booth. Giving fair goers the opportunity to engage with master print and publishing houses, the ETC section offers an abundance of books, prints, catalogues and zines. A representation of Johannesburg’s seminal art institutions, the ORG section looks to redefine how the public engages with organizations. Whether museums, universities or private institutions, the section is a hands-on approach to examine bodies that were established for the good of the public. Spanning talks, screenings, public lectures and audio essays, the AUX section, sponsored by ITOO ArtInsure, brings industry leaders to the public to explore a plethora of topics impacting the contemporary art world. Beyond, but centred around the three-day fair, FNB Art Joburg remains committed to audience and collector development through an educational platform and immersive programming respectively known as ArtJoburg.com, the BMW Young Collectors Co., and Open City.
