The Armory Show is underway over the Hudson River at Piers 92 and 94, and because we’re on day two of the annual art orgy, there’s probably already been a small nation’s GDP-amount of money spent on contemporary and modern works from all over the world. Art critic Jerry Saltz was in the house, natch. […]
Frieze Art Fair is the best trip to a luxury pop-up shopping mall a press pass can buy! Maybe it was the illusion of travel from the ferry ride to Randall’s Island or the un-warehouse quality of that giant, billowing, sun-streaked white tent, but the art was very enjoyable. Here some highlights. First, Beom Kim’s […]
The art fairs are upon us! Follow ANIMAL as we stumble strategically through most of most of them. Next up, The Moving Image Contemporary Video Art Fair, a favorite. That gyrating form above is a low-res gif version of Rollin Leonard’s new video installation. Now imagine looking down at it in 4K Ultra High-definition. To create the moving image, Leonard built […]
The art fairs are upon us! Follow ANIMAL as we stumble strategically through most of most of them. First up: SPRING/BREAK Art Show, “a curator-driven fair” at 233 Mott Street in Nolita.

“Media Art is the art of today, the art that people will remember in the future,” director Unpainted Annette Doms tells ARTinfo. In January 2014, Unpainted will become Germany’s first-ever fair for new media and video art and will show “algorithmic plotter-drawings, computer animation, collages, photography, net-art, software art, interactive art, sculpture.” Artist Rafaël Rozendaal is slated to give “an […]
Of all the Armory Show spin-off fairs opening this week in New York, none are as overtly subversive of the original as THE (UN)FAIR, a one-time pop-up exhibition opening within walking distance at a 19th century former manufacturing building. With sledgehammer subtlety, its name suggests the ultimate alternative from the more exclusive and commercially-saturated art […]
