The Turbine Art Fair returns to Turbine Hall in 2014 from 17th – 20th July 2014. Raw, light, grand, impressive, authentic, industrial, versatile. Just some of the characteristics of the Turbine Hall venue, the forum company’s multi-functional venue located in the heart of the Newtown cultural precinct. Historically a 1920′s power station, Turbine Hall has been hailed for its representation of a truly iconic South African architectural style. The site retains its industrial heritage but also displays a contemporary personality. The building has an enormous energy and atmosphere – every brick speaks of its colourful history while lofty volumes of light offer opportunities to showcase significant South African art and bold architectural spaces.

“Too few people have the opportunity to acquire art let alone have the confidence to start their own art collections which is why we started the Turbine Art Fair. The Fair is the perfect platform for those wanting to start collecting South African art in a unique and undaunting way bringing the best galleries and artists under one roof. The whole experience offers something for everyone – a showcase of contemporary art and artists, artisan food,architecture and Johannesburg culture” says Glynis Hyslop, managing director the forum | turbine hall.
