"EAST HAMPTON—Returning for its third year to the East End, Scope Hamptons will transform the 20,000 square-foot East Hampton Studios into a world-class art fair and destination-location for seasoned and novel collectors. With over 60 international established and emerging contemporary galleries from over 20 countries, Scope presents a full schedule of special events, performances and screenings, alongside museum-quality programming, creating what has become “The Hamptons Weekend of Art.”
This year, Scope Hamptons is proud to introduce Kids Scope art-making workshops presented by Socrates Sculpture Park. Led by Socrates’ artists over three sessions daily, these creative and inspirational projects introduce fundamental and contemporary art-making techniques that incorporate a variety of art materials and media. Scope Hamptons’ VIP Benefit Reception and Dinner will benefit Socrates Sculpture Park’s Education Program, from which these workshops are modeled. For further information on purchasing tickets please contact Ellen Staller at 718.956.1819.
Continuing its mandate to redefine what an art fair is, this year's Scope Hamptons, in conjunction with Salomon Contemporary, is pleased to present Stereomongrel by Luis Gispert and Jeffrey Reed. Stereomongrel will be screened at the Salomon Contemporary warehouse in East Hampton on Friday, July 27, 2007.Scope Hamptons will feature its award-winning video and film program, The Perpetual Art Machine. Presenting more than 1000 videos by over 600 emerging and established artists from 60 countries, [PAM] allows the visitor to become part of the curatorial process. PAM is organized in collaboration by Lee Wells, Raphaele Shirley, Chris Borkowski and Aaron Miller. www.perpetualartmachine.com.
Scope Hamptons exhibitors were chosen by an elected selection committee. Each committee member is a representative from a particular city or region, inviting the most significant emerging galleries, curators, and artist projects. Scope's invited sixty-five international exhibitors will uphold its unique tradition of one-person and thematic group shows, bringing visitors a real-time international survey of the emerging contemporary art world available nowhere else.
Scope’s continued mission is to turn viewers into users. Founded in 2002, Scope gives a view of the contemporary art-world available nowhere else. Scope international art fairs present up-and-coming dealers, curators, and artists, alongside museum quality programming.
Scope Hamptons will be open daily from 12 pm to 8 pm. Admission is $10. Catalogues are $10. "
