TAFE Update #1

Today I will be looking for a few different case studies on Australian designers to do research on; 20th century designer, contemporary/practising designer, and a small design company.

So far i have 2 people i have found that i find interesting, one of them i can't use because they are from America but the they're still pretty cool:

  • Jeremyville (sydney, Australia)
  • Massive Black Studio (San francisco)
This research is all lead up for me and my groups end of year project where we get to design our own stuff and try and sell them at an event called the "Art Bazaar".

The Art Bazaar is a unique exhibition and collecting platform that has identified an unmet need for emerging or unrepresented artists to further their careers in the seemingly impenetrable New York art market.

Established in 2009 by New York gallerist Michael Lyons Wier as a response to the limited amount of exhibition opportunities available to artists in New York City, The Art Bazaar was envisioned as a "grass roots initiative", providing artists with a unique opportunity to promote and sell their work.

Under Lyons Wier's tutelage, The Art Bazaar network has grown exponentially, helping many of its participants find new representation and exhibition opportunities throughout the City. Since its founding, The Art Bazaar has also hosted and curated Art Bazaar artists in high profile art fairs such as Fountain Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair in New York.

Through The Art Bazaar, artists interact with the public and sell work directly to collectors. To date, The Art Bazaar has exhibited over 400 artists, generated nearly $100,000 in sales and continues to attract artists and collectors regionally, nationally and internationally.

I'm hoping that we can work things out and produce something that is a HUGE success!! ^_^
