What are the benefits of exhibiting at UNKNOWN ASIA?
In addition to the jurors who are active in various Asian countries, UNKNOWN ASIA has a wide variety of reviewers from galleries, publishing, fashion, advertising agencies, etc. who will offer exhibitions and commission work with companies. One of the appeals of the festival is the closeness to key people in the creative industries and visitors who actively communicate with the exhibiting artists after seeing their works. After exhibiting, there are many artists who have taken advantage of UNKNOWN ASIA to become active. The suggestions from the key people will be an opportunity for you to improve your skills.
What can I do in the booth?
This year we will have two booths, one at the actual venue and one online.
In the actual booth, the three walls and the space inside the walls can be freely arranged as long as they do not extend outside the booth. You can hammer nails or stick something on the walls as long as the walls are strong enough.
The floor is the equipment of the venue, so please be careful not to stain it. The use of art materials including paints and sprays that may stain the floor is prohibited in the booth.
Booths at the online venue allow you to post your profile and statement as well as multiple images of your work, allowing you to present your work borderlessly via the Internet. You can also use the chat function and video call function to communicate with the judges, reviewers, sponsors, and visitors, providing a smoother communication environment. Furthermore, you can also sell your works.
We hope that you will make the most of the booth as a space to express your work. Once you have decided to participate, please contact us with any questions you may have. The organizing staff will spare no effort to support you in bringing out the best in your work.
