RMB Turbine Art Fair (RMB TAF) is a unique South African Art fair that brings together exhibitors from around the SADC region to present, sell and celebrate works.
The fair is the epicentre of emerging art in South Africa. It presents a space for the showcasing of established and new talent in an environment that is immersive, accessible and inclusive
The virtual RMB TAF will take place from 27 August 2020 – 02 September 2020. Exhibitors will have a dedicated virtual viewing room where they will display their artwork with interactive messaging and behind the scenes content.
RMB TAF 2020 will present visionary new projects to the fair, including Woven, an exhibition of specially curated textile-based artwork from a range of established, mid-career and emerging contemporary artists. It will also showcase solo presentations of digital and new media-based work and will highlight the careers of select mid-career artists.
Glynis Hyslop, founder of the fair, said: “The public has embraced the ethos of RMB TAF and over the years have built a long-standing, trusted relationship with the fair, which provides a safe and curated space in which to buy art. We believe that there is no better time than right now for collectors to actively support artists and galleries.
“We also see this as an opportunity to support art schools in ensuring a generation of new artists. Through our special projects we showcase the work of emerging artists at the start of their careers, giving them a much-needed launch pad. We feel that it is vital to keep the art ecosystem engaged during this time and keep the conversations ongoing, and through our planned virtual talks and walkabout programme, sponsored by RMB Private Bank, we are able to so.”
The fair is brought to you by The Forum Company, Business And Arts South Africa, Strauss & Co and Kaya Fm.
