The Free Art Fair

Cathy Lomax + Harry Pye + Jasper Joffe + Bob and Roberta Smith + Matthew Stone

Monday, 12 October 2009 - Sunday, 18 October 2009

The Barbican, Silk Street, City, EC2Y 8DS

Exhibitions: , Art, Sculpture, Painting, Gallery, Video

How Much: Free!

Jasper Joffe set up the brilliant Free Art Fair back in 2007 to counter the growing dominance of market-based economics in the contemporary art world.

Coinciding with the bloated back-slapping monster that is Frieze, The Free Art Fair gives art back to the people. For free!

Register, turn up and with a bit of luck you'll get to take home a work by one of the artists involved - Cathy Lomax, Bob and Roberta Smith, Harry Pye or maybe Joffe himself.

Sadly however this is the last installment of the project.
