The Melbourne Art Fair (MAF) makes a physical comeback from 17 – 20 February, presented at Melbourne’s Convention and Exhibition Centre and featuring 59 gallery booths, six works in its Beyond section, and a dedicated platform of video works from international and local representatives.
Perhaps easily missed, video works presented by Subtype and Kaylene Whiskey as part of MAF Commission with ACMI, are housed in dark clothed booths near the entrance. The curated presentation of Beyond, including artists Caroline Rothwell, Navilah Nordic, Sean Melia, Maree Clarke, Sally Smart, and Matt Arbuckle, can be found dotted around the exhibition space, however feels less monumental than expected.
