TheWallArtFair™ was initiated and created by the founders of the DocksArtFair™, an international contemporary art fair which takes place every 2 years in Lyon-France during the inaugural week of the Biennial of Contemporary Art.

The yearly periodicity of the DocksArtFair™ was therefore an obvious choice for the Art Fair creators and gallery owners involved. However reproducing exactly the same concept outside of this biennial event seemed unlikely as it has become so intimately linked with the Biennale itself.

Changarrito is a project developed by Mexico City-based Argentinean
artist Máximo González, who recently exhibited at the Craft and
Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) in Los Angeles. Changarrito is a contemporary
art vending cart borne from González's desire to integrate local
artists with the alternative economy of street commerce and the mobility
of changarros, or mobile vending carts in Mexico.

Changarrito debuted at the international art fair ARCO '05 in
Madrid, Spain, where Mexico was the invited country. González
presented Changarrito as an alternative to the official gallery
selection presented by the Mexican cultural authorities. With
Changarrito, Máximo facilitated a more accurate portrayal of the vast
Mexican art scene, as more than 60 artists were represented.

Application deadline: 11 June 2012
