Turbine Art Fair : Instawalk Part 1

By Coco

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. Aristotle

Earlier today, I dodged work like to do actual work, which is to re-structure visual presentation and turn it into what I would like call artistic literature. What that means is I tap into the mind of the artist whose work is presented to me and then I write an article about.. long story short, I write what the artist sees but cannot verbalize.


Now your friendly neighbourhood Coco-Man swung by TAF (Turbine Art Fair) to capture the splendor I saw and to do that I've decided to brief you all on some of the companies that are partaking in the Art Fair.
