Commercial Fairs and Exhibitions
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people participate to fairs andexhibitions. They look for what is new in their field of activity, to introducethemselves to specialists and business partners, to find new sale markets or,simply, to spend together several pleasant hours by visiting an exhibition.
Definition
Firstly, an exhibition is an event organized to bring together buyersand sellers at a single venue. A fair is a gathering of people to display ortrade products or other goods, the work of artists or artisans, the products of
farms or factories, the skills of performers, or objects of general interest.People often enjoy at fairs and exhibitions associated carnival orfunfairentertainment. Activities at fairs vary widely. Business men see exhibition asan oportunity to promote their latest products and concepts on the market.
Exhibitions are the most appropriate place for the meeting of demandand supply. The main advantage of such fairs is the fact that it gathers mostof the people interested in a particular domain of activity.
What is the difference between Exhibitions and Expositions?
Exhibitions and Expositions, public displays of industrial orcommercial products or of fine arts. Although the terms are usedinterchangeably, in strict usage an exhibition is a display of such products orarts for a short period; an exposition is for a longer period and usually on alarger scale. Both exhibitions and expositions may be regional, national, orinternational, and may show only the products of a single industry, such as
furniture or leather, or all products of human endeavor.

History
Where and when the first fair was held is not known, however, evidencepoints to the existence of fairs as early as 500 BC. Ezekiel's account of thedestruction of Tyre, supposedly written about 588 BC, describes Tyre as animportant market and fair center. Fairs were commercial in character fromthe beginning. Merchants from distant countries would come together,
bringing native wares to trade with one another, and even though it is notclearly explained in Ezekiel or in other biblical references, it is reasonable toassume that fair was the name given to the place at which early trading
between foreign merchants was conducted.
It is equally clear that religious activity was companion to the commerce.The Latin world feria meaning holy day, would appear the logical root ofthe word fair. Each feria was a day when large numbers of people wouldassemble for worship. Worship in those early days was centered aroundtemples in great cities, including Ninevah, Athens, Rome and Mecca. Thesecities were also respected as the great commercial centers of the world.Fields adjacent to these temples were staked out for traders. Religiousfigures were placed about the fields in order to protect the traders and
merchants.
During the early Christian era, the church took an active part in sponsoringfairs on feast days, and as a result, fairs came to be a source of revenue forthe church. Possibly, our modern church bazaars possess some rudiments ofthese religious fairs.
This evolution which blended religion and commerce continued over timeand moved into western Europe. Periodic gatherings brought togetherthe producers of all types of commodities for the purpose of barter,exchange and, finally, outright sale. To this marketplace were addedentertainment and other forms of activity thus, these primitive markettook on the aspect of fairs as we know them today.

MAJOR TYPES OF EXHIBITIONS
The first was the industrial exhibition, devoted to the stimulation andprogress of a specific industry or to all the industries of a specified countryor area. Representative of this type were the exhibition of leather products,held in Berlin (1877); of printing, in New York City (1900); of products ofthe British Empire, in Wembley, England (1924); of modern decorative andindustrial arts, in Paris (1925); and of housing, also in Paris (1947).
A second type of exhibition, particularly popular in the U.S., wasregional and was dedicated to the commemoration of a historical event.
Notable among this type were the Tennessee Centennial Exposition,Nashville, Tennessee (1897); the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, Omaha,Nebraska (1898); the Lewis and Clark Centennial American Pacific
Exposition and Oriental Fair, Portland, Oreg. (1905); the JamestownTercentennial Exposition,Norfolk, Virginia (1907); and the Great LakesExposition, Cleveland, Ohio (1936).
The third type, the universal exposition, was international in scope; itwas sponsored by a national government and displayed a wide variety of
products. The first great international exposition was held in London in 1851under the direction of the Society of Arts; Prince Albert, consort of QueenVictoria, was at the time president of the society and took a personal interestin the preparation of the event. The Crystal Palace was built for the occasion,
and the total cost amounted to about $1.5 million. The great success of theGreat Exhibition of 1851 led to other international expositions. Dublin and
New York City both held expositions in 1853, and in 1855 Paris held its firstExposition Universelle, on the Champs-lyses.
The Paris exposition, although it was much more elaborate than any ofits predecessors, costing about $5 million and including almost 21,000exhibits, was a financial failure. In 1862 another great exposition wasopened in London, at a cost of about $2.3 million. Although some 29,000exhibitors participated and more than 6 million people attended, it was muchless successful financially than the 1851 exposition, chiefly because PrinceAlbert died before the exposition opened and the festivities wereconsequently affected. Most great expositions operated at deficits from thattime on, but the promotion value of the displays and the value of the touristtrade brought by the events were considered worth the loss, which was

usually made up by national and municipal government subsidies or by bondissues.
In 1867 the French government and the city of Paris, at a cost ofalmost $6 million, sponsored another international exposition, which took
place on the Champ de Mars, the military parade ground on the left bank ofthe Seine River; about 43,000 exhibits were shown, and more than 6.8million visitors attended. Vienna in 1873 held an international expositionthat was the greatest up to that time, costing about $11 million. The
buildings erected in the Prater, the famous Viennese park on an island in theDanube, housed almost 26,000 exhibits, and more than 6.5 millionadmissions were counted. Three years later the first great Americaninternational exposition was held in Philadelphia, as a celebration of the100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The buildings of the Paris exposition of 1878 were erected in theChamp de Mars and extended to an elevated plateau called the Trocadro, onthe right bank of the Seine; the Palais de Trocadro, built for the occasion,remained a permanent structure until it was torn down in 1936. Built at acost in excess of $6 million, the 1878 exposition housed almost 53,000exhibits and attracted more than 16 million visitors. In 1889 a fourthExposition Universelle was held in Paris, the theme being the centenary ofthe French Revolution. The cost of the exposition was about $9 million;exhibitors numbered almost 62,000 and visitors more than 32 million.
The 400th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America wascelebrated by an international exposition held in Chicago in 1893. The
buildings of the World's Columbian Exposition, as it was called, wereerected on the shore of Lake Michigan. Some of the most famous features ofthe Chicago exposition were its amusements, which were collected togetheron a strip of land known as the Midway Plaisance; the term midway later
became synonymous with amusement area in circuses, carnivals, and fairs.The World's Columbian Exposition cost more than $31 million, presented
more than 65,000 exhibits, and attracted more than 27.5 million visitors.A fifth great French exposition took place in Paris in 1900. Some of
the structures built for the 1900 exposition became famous landmarks of thecity, including the ornate Alexander III Bridge over the Seine. The cataloglisted almost 80,000 exhibits, and about 40 million admissions were

FIAC (International Contemporary Art Fair), Paris
Every year, more than 200 galleries in France and abroad host an exhibitshowcasing the work of contemporary artists from around the world.Different sectors of the fair exhibit varying forms of art, and young artistsare also provided a section to exhibit the fruit of their talent..
Frances newly revitalised Foire International dArt Contemporain
(International Fair of Contemporary Art), or FIAC, is major highlight of the
fine artworld calendar.
A staple of the French art scene since its debut as the Salon International
dArt Contemporain in 1974, FIAC hosts high-end galleries from around the
world for a four-day fair in the stunning Beaux-Arts Grand Palais and
Louvre courtyard, along with a spectacular exhibition of large-scale
sculpture and installations in the adjacent Tuileries gardens.
One of the great majestic landmarks of central Paris, the Grand Palais was
constructed for the 1900 Paris Exposition, and acts as an ideal venue for the
art show. Modern and contemporary art galleries are housed in the
exhibition hall, as well as the recently added design sector of the fair. Design

booths featuring such world-class designers as Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer
and Philippe Starck are arranged to face complementary gallery exhibits.
The more avant-garde contemporary pieces and future trends are situated
in the Louvre courtyard nearby, accessible by free shuttle. Adjacent is the
famous I.M. Pei-designed Pyramide du Louvre, whose ultramodern
geometrical glass and steel structure creates a neat counterpart to the domed
glass Beaux-Arts lines of the Grand Palais.
Unlike its English counterpart the Frieze Art Fair, FIAC does not limit its
exhibitors to living contemporary artists. The result is an impressively
expansive array of artists,
ranging from the newly emerging, such as cutting-edge art cooperative
Societ Raliste; to giants of the contemporary art scene like Damien Hirst
and Richard Serra; to post-war innovators, from Roy Lichtenstein to Jean-
Michel Basquiat; to legends of modern art like Picasso, Dali and Matisse.

FIAC is a show which has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity and
influence, thanks to continuous innovation and developments to the
programme.
The fair itself returned in 2003 to its celebrated home in the Grand Palais
after an unsuccessful four-year spell at Paris Expo in far-flung Porte de
Versailles, on the outskirts of the city. Following up the positive momentum
of the fairs Grand Palais return, FIAC organisers have worked diligently to
enhance the event with every edition.
The design element of the show was added in 2004, followed a year later by
the FIAC cultural programme, consisting of the Tuileries sculpture garden as
well as a diverse interdisciplinary line-up of artistic events called Ouvertures
(Openings) which range from concerts to various live performance pieces.

Queen Victoria opens the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace
The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations wasorganized by Prince Albert, Henry Cole, Francis Henry, Charles Dilke andother members of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts,Manufactures and Commerce as a celebration of modern industrialtechnology and design. It can be argued that the Great Exhibition wasmounted in response to the highly successful French Industrial Exposition of1844. Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort, was an enthusiastic promoterof a self-financing exhibition; the government was persuaded to form the
Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 to establish the viability ofhosting such an exhibition.

The enormous "Crystal Palace" went from plans to grand opening in just
nine months.
A special building, nicknamed The Crystal Palace,[1] was designed by JosephPaxton (with support from structural engineer Charles Fox) to house theshow; an architecturally adventurous building based on Paxton's experiencedesigning greenhouses for the sixth Duke of Devonshire, constructed fromcast iron-frame components and glass made almost exclusively inBirmingham and Smethwick, which was an enormous success. Thecommittee overseeing its construction included Isambard Kingdom Brunel.The massive glass house was 1848 feet (about 563 m) long by 454 feet(about 138 m) wide, and went from plans to grand opening in just ninemonths. The building was later moved and re-erected in an enlarged form atSydenham in south London, an area that was renamed Crystal Palace; it waseventually destroyed by fire.[1]

Six million people equivalent to a third of the entire population of Britainat the time visited the Exhibition. The Great Exhibition made a surplus of186,000 which was used to found the Victoria and Albert Museum, theScience Museum and the Natural History Museum which were all built inthe area to the south of the exhibition, nicknamed "Albertopolis", alongsidethe Imperial Institute. The remaining surplus was used to set up aneducational trust to provide grants and scholarships for industrial research,and continues to do so today.[2]
The exhibition caused controversy at the time. Some conservatives fearedthat the mass of visitors might become a revolutionary mob,[citation needed] whileradicals such as Karl Marx saw the exhibition as an emblem of the capitalistfetishism ofcommodities. Today the Great Exhibition has become a symbolof the Victorian Age, and its thick catalogue illustrated with steel engravings
is a primary source for High Victorian design.[
Alfred Charles Hobbs used the exhibition to demonstrate theinadequacy of several respected locks of the day.
Frederick Bakewell demonstrated a precursor to today's Fax machine. Mathew Brady wins medal for his daguerreotypes. William Chamberlin, Jr., of Sussex, exhibited what may have been the
world's first voting machine, which counted votes automatically andemployed an interlocking system to prevent overvoting.[4]

The Festival of Britain was a national exhibition which opened in Londonand around Britain in May 1951. The official opening was on May 3.[1] The
principal exhibition site was on the South Bank Site, London of the RiverThames nearWaterloo Station. Other exhibitions were held in Poplar, EastLondon (Architecture), South Kensington (Science) and the Kelvin Hall inGlasgow (Industrial Power) as well as travelling exhibitions that touredBritain by land and sea. Outside London major festivals took place inCardiff, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Perth, Bournemouth, York, Aldeburgh,Inverness, Cheltenham, Oxford and other centres.[2]
At that time, shortly after the endofWorld War II, much of London
was still in ruins andredevelopment was badly needed.The Festival was an attempt togive Britons a feeling of recoveryand progress and to promote
better-quality design in therebuilding of British towns andcities following the war. TheFestival also celebrated thecentenary of the 1851 Great
Exhibition. It was the brainchild ofGerald Barry and the LabourDeputy Leader Herbert Morrisonwho described it as "a tonic for thenation".
Throughout the festival numerous Londoners participated in street markets,which sold fruits, poultry, vegetables, and antiques, at the Petticoat Lane(Middlesex Street) Market on the eastern edge of the London; Berwick

promise of the immediate post-war period. The support ofPeter Mandelsonfor the Millennium Dome project was perhaps an attempt byNew Labourtoengage with a similar symbolism, the promise of the new Millennium, asMandelson is the grandson ofHerbert Morrison.

technology, and the wonders of nature. In Japanese, this is rendered as Ai-chikyhaku, which means (roughly) "Love the Earth Expo". According tothe official website:
We must come together and share our experience and wisdom, inorder to create a new direction for humanity which is both
sustainable and harmonious with nature.
The main site of the Expo was a forested area in Nagakute, east of Nagoya,covering an area of about 1.85km (450 acres). A smaller area of 0.15km(40 acres) nearby, accessible by gondola from the main site nearSeto is also
part of the Expo. Great care has been taken to build the pavilions out ofrecycled or recyclable materials, to lessen the environmental impact on thesite, and to provide environmentally friendly transportation to and within the
Expo area.The cost of the Expo has been estimated at 340 billion yen ($3.3 billion).However, the recorded 22,049,544 visitors greatly exceeded the target of15,000,000 and the Expo made a
profit of over 10 billion yen.
The nearby city ofToyota also held some related events, although there wasno special area set aside.

regards the creation of a technology park focussing on innovative healthcareand environmental solutions, with a particular focus on low-emissions publictransport.
The specific location has produced an extremely rich and integratedinfrastructure:
The metro Line 1 connects the site to the city's public transportnetwork, the existing Molino Dorino parking facilities and a new car
park planned at the Fairgrounds. Three motorways - the A4 Turin-Milan-Venice, the A8/A9 Milan-
Como Chiasso and Milan-Varese, plus the western orbital road which joins the A1 Milan-Rome-Naples motorway to the south. Accessroads further supplement these routes, freeing local traffic from that in
transit to and from the Expo site. A high-speed rail link will have its own station near the east entrance
to the complex as well as serving two local railway lines connecting tothe Milan metro.
The site's geographical location, equidistant from Linate, Malpensaand Orio al Serio Airport allowing rapid access to Milan's threeairports.

zmir was the other candidate city, whose bidtheme was New Routes to a Better World/Health
for All.
Its bid would have made it the first fair in theEastern Mediterranean with a health theme. zmir
officials had promised to create a newly designed,large exhibition area (3.7 million m2) in nciralt, a
coastal suburb of the city; a high-speed train connection between majorcities (like Ankara and Istanbul); and the existing city metro system and itsrecently improved airport would have been further developed. There waslikely to have been wide ranging investment in the city. It was also planned

that the most extensive archaeological museum in the world be developedbased on the archaeological richness of the zmir region.
The Izmir team also used the slogan "Izmir Population: 700 million" topromote Izmir's bid. Its "Bid Dossier" included a detailed description of theplans to finance and organize the event [1]. Although the 700 million claimwas not a direct part of this document, the income estimates were based onmultiple trips to the Expo by local and neighboring citizens as well as bytourists visiting Turkey.
The location of the Expo site in the outer suburbs of zmir was planned toallow visitors to Expo to combine their visit with access to local beaches.nciralt is a pleasant, green, coastal suburb boasting fish restaurants and arelaxed atmosphere. Balova is only a small distance from the then
anticipated EXPO site and the view of nciralt can be seen from cable carsthat climb up Balova mountain.
