This Art Fair Might Solve a BIG Art World Problem

Ryan Stanier founded The Other Art Fair in 2011 and ran it for 100 editions before stepping away. Now he's back - and this time he's asking a simple, explosive question: what if exhibiting at an art fair was completely free? In this conversation, Ryan breaks down the Fair Play Art Fair - a new model where artists pay nothing to exhibit, visitors pay just £20 to attend, and Ryan only makes money if the art actually sells. We also get into the art world's cost crisis, why galleries are squeezed out of their own fairs, and a very unusual performance piece involving a greenhouse and not many clothes.
