Within a new multi-site location situated in the East End, the producers of Zoo Art Fair present Zoo 2009. An event that takes on an adapted structure, bringing together up to 45 contemporary arts organisations and practitioners, through a series of exhibitions and stand presentations. For collectors, curators, critics, dealers, artists and art enthusiasts, Zoo 2009 remains a considered introduction to the next generation of art professionals. Located on Shoreditch High Street near to many of the best contemporary art spaces in Europe’s largest cultural quarter, Zoo 2009’s venue consists of three buildings that date from 1875 to 2003. Zoo 2009 will present four significant exhibitions, curated by invited organisations and curators – FormContent, LUX, Studio Voltaire and Rob Tufnell – which will be displayed in unused Victorian industrial warehouses set in cobbled streets.

Once again, Zoo 2009 will present solo shows by last year’s winners of the Champagne Perrier-Jouët Prize – Scoli Acosta and John Jones Art on Paper Award - Clunie Reid.

Alongside these, up to 25 stand presentations from commercial and noncommercial organisations will be showcased within adjacent showrooms dating from the 1960s. Exhibitors are primarily under 6 year old organizations that include international galleries, project spaces, artist collectives, curatorial groups and publishers. (The exhibitor list will be announced shortly.) In addition there will be a section of up to 10 booths dedicated to artists’ limited editions and multiples, presented by public and private institutions and organisations such as Whitechapel Gallery, ICA, Chisenhale Gallery and 176 / Zabludowicz Collection.
