Art13 London announces Projects

Art13 London, sponsored by Citi Private Bank, which features 128 galleries from 30 countries, is pleased to announce the line-up of international artist projects to be presented at the Fair, which will take place from 1-3 March 2013 (VIP Preview: 28 February). Art13 London's commitment to showcase works by established and emerging international artists is complemented by the diverse line-up of the 20 projects that will feature throughout the Fair.

At the centre of Art13 London will be Pearl Lam Galleries', Chinese artist, Zhu Jinshi's remarkable new 12-metre-long installation Boat (2012). Composed of bamboo, cotton and 10,000 sheets of rice paper, the sheer size and visual impact of Boat sits in stark contrast with the delicate nature of the xuan (rice paper).

Projects are located throughout the fair - in aisles, booths and unexpected corners. These include Ghanaian artist El Anatsui's large-scale wall-sculpture In the World But Don't Know the World (2009) which is a 10-metre-long work that is comprised of tens of thousands of discarded metal bottle-tops – flattened, cut and 'sewn' together with copper wire.

There will also be a strong Middle-Eastern presence throughout the Fair. Lebanese artist Zena El Khalil's interactive project, entitled A' Salaam Alaykum: Peace Be Upon You (2009) is a four-metre-tall mirrored sculpture of the Arabic script for 'Allah'. The work slowly rotates and is conceptualised by the artist as a symbol of peace, reflecting its surroundings in the way that is both inclusive and celebratory.
