Several participants in this year's edition of BARELY FAIR operate spaces across cities despite their scaled presence. Scaled exhibition spaces allow for nimble programming. Join Tarik Kentouche as he overviews the placement of Scherben in Berlin, Michelle Grabner as she speaks about her motivation to present programming across Wisconsin and Umbria, and Aron Gent as he outlines DOCUMENT's new location in Lisbon.

 BAD AT SPORTS recorded MINOR MATTERS and released the recordings as a multi-part podcast. Listen to them where you listen to podcasts, or use Apple Podcasts and Spotify links below:
