Established in 2010, ‘[not|fair]’ is an independent stage for visual artists dedicated to those who are unknown or overlooked with the event itself outside the traditional retail model of a fair with a hybrid form both as curated survey exhibition and commercial event.
This year the original founders, artists Sam Leach and Tony Lloyd and writer Ashley Crawford, will produce the Melbourne show with over 40 emerging artists to present recent and new work in an industrial setting across six buildings on James Street, Windsor from 11 to 14 November. Ara Dolation, Jason Phu, Pia Murphy, Robert Hague, Datsun Tran, Pip Ryan, Laetitia Olivier-Gargano, Magda Cebokli and Lucy James will be participating amongst an array of intriguing multidisciplinary practices.
