Tuesday 28th September 2010Where is Gallereo this Week? The NewcastleGateshead Art Fair!It is almost impossible to believe that it has been a year since the last
NewcastleGateshead Art Fair. Gallereo attended last year to spectate and take in all of the great galleries and artists that the Fair had attracted.
This years art fair is on from Friday 1st - Sunday 3rd October at the The Sage Gateshead; a landmark building for what has become a landmark art event in the North East of England. The art fair is a great place for collectors and art lovers, whether they are looking to make their very first investment or are well seasoned art connoisseurs.
Last year the show had around 9,000 visitors, and hopefully they can beat that this year. The art fair now attracts galleries from all across the world, and this year Gallereo are particularly excited about The Emerging Artist Showcase which will be returning with 15 unrepresented artists, offering people a chance to see some brand new talent.
Head honcho at the fair, Andy Balman certainly deservers some recognition for the work that he has put in to get the fair to where it is today. Starting of setting up
The Biscuit Factory, Europe's largest commercial gallery, Andy has put a great deal of effort into making the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair a huge success and an internationally recognised event for leading artists and galleries.
We'er going to be these this weekend to see what pleasant surprises the fair has this year, hope to see you there!

Saturday 05th June 2010Where will Gallereo be Next? The Berlin Biennale!!That's right, this week Gallereo will be all over Berlin soaking up as much art and culture as possible...even though we're well aware that we'd need the rest of the year to take everything in.
The
6th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art will kick off on on the 11th June, and runs through until the 8th August so there's plenty of time to make your way around the various venues, from the KW institute of Contemporary Art, right across to the Alte Nationalgalerie on Museum Island.
Try and catch up with us if you can, we can thrash it out about the state of the contemporary art scene, or just indulge in some real German beer! If you're following us on Twitter we'll post our locations as we move about to give you a better chance of finding us :)
See you there!

Thursday 29th April 2010Where is Gallereo this Week? The Lakes!For a change of pace, this weekend Gallereo will be taking a brief trip to the Lake District, UK.
Why not unwind and get away from big city life and join us at PrintFest 2010. This yearly celebration of print makers takes place in Ulverston and draws in crowds looking to see what's new and what's not on the print scene.
The 2010 print maker of the year has been awarded to Anja Percival, a decision that was made with help from Northern Print and Print Making Today magazine. So if you're not looking to track us down as we trawl the stands, definitely get along to admin Anja's etching and aquatint creations.

Monday 05th April 2010Where is Gallereo this Week? Amsterdam!Gallereo is going Continental this week and making our mark on Amsterdam. The city of tulips may never be the same again.
We will be hunting down some of the Netherlands finest offerings of art and photography, and forcing websites upon them...only joking, we're far too nice for that.....or are we?
A couple of things have caught our eye on the contemporary scene, not least the sculptural taxidermy of Les Deux Garçons. Check out Jaski Art Gallery for some regal displays of your favourite animals, we sure will.
Dawn Mellor will be showing at Galerie Gabriel Rolt and we'll be taking a peek at the opening reception on Saturday evening. Don't come if you're easily put off the hors d'oeuvres....
We will also be taking a trip to the Gorcums Museum in Gorinchem to see the Portraits of the 21st Century exhibition. This very old style museum has been making a name for itself in the Netherlands by devoting a floor of exhibition space to up and coming artists, with curator Piet Augustijn putting on shows that would be just as much at home in any of the more contemporary space in Amsterdam.
We're looking forward to seeing the work of Barbara Wijnveld and Hans Meertens, both of whom are sparking the interest of some of the countries more notable dealers and collectors.

Monday 08th March 2010Where is Gallereo this Week? F-Stop, Opus & Waygood!This week Gallereo is taking to the streets of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK in search of some hardcore art action.
What's on the cards? Plans are to make a stop by the F-Stop Gallery in the Ouseburn on Thursday night to take a look at their latest photography exhibition which is a showcase of New York photographs. From the looks of things, there are some very nice works to behold capturing some of New York's more off-beat moments.
After that it's a speedy (but safe!) drive over to Opus in Gosforth to take a look at the new prints by William Tillyer. Again, pre-exhibition images look impressive. Is it a watercolour? Is it a print? Is it a watercolour? Is it a print?
The final stop off this week will be at the Waygood Studios on Shields Road. Anyone following the Waygood saga, as it shall henceforth be known, will know of how important it is to get down there and show a bit of support for the people on the receiving end...the artists. Folks will be selling their art and artifacts between 2 and 5pm to make their move to the new studio space that little bit easier and to throw some cash at the heater until Spring decides to grace us with its presence.
It'll be more of a Gallereo overcoat than t-shirt this week I think...

Sunday 10th January 2010Where is Gallereo this Week? The London Art Fair!Welcome to our new series of posts, which will appear every now and again when a member of the Gallereo team has escaped the confines of the office is out and about, hitting the streets in the search of an arts and culture boost.
If you're quick enough, you might catch us.....and if you do, you have an obligation to come over and say hello! We're a rare breed, but you should be able to spot us with some sort of Gallereo adornment (the t-shirt is my favourite!)
For our first outing, as we flee the excitement of building towards our soft launch day, Gallereo will be at the London Art Fair. In an unofficial capacity I might add.
We are looking forward to the Photo50 showcase of contemporary photography this year, with some very distinguished panelists bringing us an insight into the latest and greatest that the medium has to offer.
We hear that Mauger Modern of Bath will also be bringing along some interesting wares, so maybe look for us around their space, perusing the goods.
The London Art Fair previews on Tuesday night (12th) and runs through to Sunday 17th.
