This year Art Cologne was dominated by abstract art and works on 2 dimension surface. We could seldom notice works from critical art sphere, provocative or controversial.
In the middle of the exhibition space there was the sector of Open Space presentations. Here were presented galleries chosen by 3 curators - Vasiv Kortun, Stefanie Kreuzer, Beatrix Ruf. The concept was to choose younger, less commercial galleries and artists.
