At This Art Fair artists show and sell their work without a gallery. (There are also some gallery booths to be found but they are a minority at This Art Fair.) About 120 Dutch artists present their work at the Beurs van Berlage. The artists come up with their own presentation and are present themselves; that’s what makes This Art Fair worth your time. If you are a frequent visitor of art fairs, galleries and what have you not, you’ll soon find out that it’s quite a different experience, more personal, like a ‘studio visit’.
If you haven’t much time and rather have your art-pitch in a nutshell then this art fair probably won’t be your cup of tea. On the other hand; The Beurs van Berlage is worth a visit in it’s own right of course. 29/30-12-2016 open from 1 PM until 10 PM.

All the boxes are sealed with a gold filled seal, if you break the seal, and open the box, the sculpturettes inside will fall apart. The ‘Powder Box Girls’ are part of Mimi Berlin’s ‘Fuck Flat’ series. Read all about them HERE at www.mimimall.me
The Cat in the Hat for President! #catinhat4prez
Only inches away from election day we would like to suggest our American readers a social science nonfiction read:
‘One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote‘ by Dr. Seuss.
In this hardcover you’ll find, in simple rhyme, an introduction by The Cat in the Hat to the concept and practice of voting, with a focus on the American presidency! The basic principles of democracy, how political parties are formed and much, much more” on American politics is explained. Since the real Dr. Seuss is dead, the author of this book is Bonnie Worth, the illustrations are made by Aristides Ruiz and Joe Mathieu. We know ‘One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote‘ isn’t a longread, so why don’t you buy the book at seussville.com (ISBN: 978-0-399-55598-5)
“And this mess is so big
And so deep and so tall,
We cannot pick it up.
There is no way at all!”

For our European readers who maybe aren’t that familiar with Dr. Seuss: Continue reading
Mimi Berlin Blogger team went to the annual Unseen Photo Fair in Amsterdam. We had a great time! Being the childish team we are: we picked our favorite works to show you. Maybe you have other images you like better? You won’t know unless you visit the fair. We suggest you do. find all info here on the unseen site
We have to be honest; we also took pictures of less favorite works because the urge and our ability to categorize themes and trends very quick, took overhand sometimes.
