BERLIN—Art Berlin Contemporary (abc) announced the final list of galleries participating in the 2012 edition of the fair on Thursday. The headlining event for the inaugural Berlin Art Week, abc looks stronger and more international than ever for its fifth edition (September 13-16) with 120 galleries from 17 countries. The majority of the galleries (63) still come from Berlin, however the list also includes multiple exhibitors from Dubai, New York, Paris, and Milan, among others.

This year sees the fair drop its previous curatorial frameworks such as last year’s “About Painting” and “Light, Camera, Action” in 2010 in exchange for a partnership with New York’s Artists Space, who will present a bazaar of objects and artworks that cross boundaries between fine art, design, fashion, and publishing. “We don’t want to just do the same thing each year. We try to feel the zeitgeist and think about what needs to change. This year we decided that it would be a good idea to cooperate with someone from outside Berlin and turn the focus on the artists and the process of producing art,” abc’s Silke Neumann told ARTINFO Germany in an interview.

Due to abc’s expansion into a third hall of Station Berlin, galleries will have more room to show those artists as well. ARTINFO got an exclusive sneak peak at the unofficial list, which promises more depth and variety of medium than previous years, as well as an exciting array of new names from the fair’s younger galleries. Highlights include works by Mona Hatoum at Berlin’s Max Hetzler who will also open a show with Hatoum on September 8, David Adamo at Ibid Projects, David Thorpe with Meyer Riegger and Maureen Paley, Eddie Martinez at Peres Projects, Aaron Curry at VeneKlasen Werner, Jeff Wall at Johnen Galerie, Qiu Xiaofei at Boers-Li Gallery, and Clemens von Wedemeyer at KOW.
