About Platform

Launched in 2019, Platform is a brand-new exhibit focusing on a single distinct theme every year, covering either an artistic medium, movement or a geographical/cultural exploration.

The section gives galleries the opportunity to stage a combination of well-known, overlooked and emerging artists that align to the theme.

Now in its third year, the section has become a key highlight of the Fair; garnering strong support from collectors and press, with broad coverage including a feature in The Finan-cial Times.

Folk Art

The upcoming 2021 edition of Platform will explore Folk Art. At a time when the world is challenged and changing, curator Candida Stevens will look at our cultural heritage, our communities and our identity, and how artists working in the Folk tradition have chosen to pass on this knowledge and inspiration.

Folk Art is rooted in and re�ective of the cultural life of a community. Artists working in the Folk tradition today are telling stories, they are passing on inherited legacies, symbols, characters. The objects may be decorative when once they would have been utilitarian, but the passing on of knowledge remains the same.

The section will be inclusive of paintings, drawings, works on paper, textiles, pottery, woodwork and furniture.
