  3. THE DEAN COLLECTION X BACARDÍ® ANNOUNCE EPIC YEAR FOR NO COMMISSION 2017 AS EVENT GOES GLOBAL
  4.  
  5. • Kicking off in Shanghai (7-9 April), followed by Berlin (29-30 June) and closing out the year with a return to Miami Art Basel
  6. • By the artists. For the artists. For the people. No Commission provides established and emerging talent with a platform for greatness
  7.  
  8. The Dean Collection x BACARDÍ® are set to take their innovative, experiential art and music platform No Commission global as they announce three, world-class events for 2017. These include Shanghai, Berlin and Miami.
  9.  
  10. Disrupting the art world since it launched in 2015, No Commission is a contemporary art fair, curated by music Grammy Award winning artist and producer Swizz Beatz and The Dean Collection, to forge a direct link between artists’ practices and art patronage. The platform is designed specifically to support both new and established artists. All artists are given their exhibition space for free and 100% of the sale of each artwork goes directly to the artists. The injection of immersive music performances from event collaborator BACARDÍ, shakes up the traditional art fair, creating a unique, cultural experience for visitors.
  11.  
  12. “Although we have put almost $3 million directly into artist pockets since we launched, No Commission has become bigger than this. It has become a platform for artists to continue on their path to greatness,” explained Swizz Beatz, Global Chief Creative of Culture for family-owned Bacardi Limited. “Many of the artists have secured commissions or representation off the back of our events and this is something that we are most proud of.”
  13.  
  14. Zara Mirza, Global Head of Creative Excellence, Bacardi Limited added, “We always said that No Commission isn’t just an event, it’s a movement, and this year we’re excited to be taking it to a global audience. We have been working really hard at Bacardi, across our entire portfolio of brands, to make a genuine impact on culture and to do that, you need to live it, breath it and be part of it. We don’t just bring the music and the cocktails, we help provide a platform that can genuinely change lives, attitudes and opinions.”

  21. The driving force of No Commission Shanghai is the digital future. China’s population, particularly its youth, is committed to the notion of 21st century human and digital existence as inextricably linked. Their primary language of communication is digital interface and Shanghai as a unique metropolis, is the hub for artistic communities successfully experimenting with the convergence of creative output and digital terrain. Chinese millennials have therefore staked a claim on the future by going beyond simply the use of digital landscapes — they have designed a whole new creative language out of it.
  22.  
  23. The intersection of contemporary art and advanced digital technology has produced a new generation of Chinese artists who are leaders of the New Media Art movement. No Commission Shanghai presents the artwork of aaajiao, Cui Jie, Ben Jones, Lin Ke, Tingwei Li, WangNewOne, Saya Woolfalk, Tian Xiaolei, Lu Yang, Wang Yi and Miao Ying, nine innovators in the New Media realm and two painters who incorporate the language of the future into their craft.
  24.  
  25. “Visitors to No Commission will experience art and music, technology and storytelling, immersion and exploration, and a picture of the future in the present”, explains Swizz Beatz, Dean Collection founder and host of No Commission.
  26.  
  27. The art and music fair will then move to Berlin in late June and will celebrate the best of No Commission talent to date in one of the emerging art meccas of Europe. The show will then make its way back to the US, finishing the year at Miami Art Basel – a homecoming for No Commission having launched there in 2015.
  28.  
  29. The Dean Collection X BACARDÍ present No Commission: Shanghai on the 7th – 9th April 2017 at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre. Tickets are FREE but there is limited availability.
