PREVIEW: Platforms Project–Independent Art Fair 2026
In an exhibition, beyond the forefront, lies the background—a behind-the-scenes world that is even more creative and intriguing, which viewers rarely see or even imagine. It is this wonderful process where artists, curators, and teams large or small collaborate, coexist, agree, or disagree. Ideas undergo a continuous alchemy, blending and evolving until the artists align around a shared concept to achieve the best possible visual outcome. As Permanent Media Sponsors of Platforms Project– Independent Art Fair, we secured exclusive photos just moments before tomorrow’s grand opening, and we are thrilled to share them with you!
