(openPR) - Basel, February 22 2008 -- The current and upcoming episodes on Vernissage TV focus on the art scene in Madrid, Spain and the 27th International Contemporary Art Fair ARCO 08.

This year's edition of ARCO has seen significant changes. In its aspiration to improve the competitiveness of the fair the fair management invited more galleries from outside of Spain. Vernissage TV's coverage of the fair comprises of a two part walkthrough and interviews with Vera Cortês of Vera Cortês Art Agency Lisbon and Wolf Lieser of DAM Gallery Berlin.

Furthermore, Vernissage TV visited several galleries and cultural institutions in Madrid: The brand-new Caixa Forum, the culture centers Matadero Madrid and Casa Encendida, and four private galleries: Galeria Helga de Alvear, La Fabrica Gallery, Juana de Aizpuru, and Distrito Cu4tro.
