Moniker Art Fair
While Frieze sprawls its way through Regents Park this week, over in east London Moniker Art Fair poses itself as the antithesis to the art world behemoth, presenting a series of prints and other artworks that are a little more off-the-wall.
Design Week favourite David Shillinglaw is working on a rather exciting installation, a teaser of which can be seen on this rather ominous video:

Among the 16 galleries showing at the fair are Scream Editions; TAG Fine Arts; Jealous Gallery; StolenSpace, which represents street artists D*Face and Shepard Fairey and Hang-Up Gallery.
As well as the main exhibition, throughout the four day event there will be a number of events including live painting, talks, tours and film screenings.

The exhibition design aims to create an experiential feel, looking to set itself apart from its more dressed-up art fair sisters.
Indeed, you’d certainly not expect to be plunged into an ‘Apocalypse Now-style bunker’ at more traditional fairs, which is a space that artist Beejoir is aiming to forge at this year’s Moniker.
Moniker runs from 17 – 20 October at The Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London E1. For more information visit www.monikerartfair.com
