heliumTALK #38: Tina Ziegler - Moniker art Fair (english edition)

Tina Ziegler is the director of the Moniker Art Fair, a very
special one amongst the numerous fairs that are happening all
around the world today. Moniker has been founded 10 years ago in
London and in 2018 opened up in New York as well, where it will pop
up again for the second time in May this year. Moniker is special
because it has its roots deep in the Graffiti and Street Art
Culture and is less fair and more festival, celebrating the
youngest and fastest growing movement in contemporary art. Tina has
developed her deep passion for Urban Art when she was a teenager in
California, which is not too long ago for her, but the amount of
art related work she has pulled off in her career since is
impressive, insane actually when you look at all the gallery shows,
curation and education projects she has been involved with or
launched herself. Crazy. She also founded The Art Conference which
combines keynote speakers from the worlds of technology and culture
with contemporary exhibitions, discussing what’s going on the art
market, so she is definitely not just looking at the colorful side
of the business, but also on the business itself.
