 March 7 -11 we have Armory Week with the fairs :

The ADAA – Art Dealers Association of America

Featuring 72 blue chip quality galleries who are members of the  ADAA.

The Armory Show

Over 120 exhibitors from around the world, will be great to see the new inovations brought to the piers with Noah Horowitz who has recently assumed the role as Managing Director.

Fountain Art Fair

69th Regiment Armory –  68 Lexington Avenue @ 25th Street

Fountain also announced this year’s fair at a new location, moving a way from the endearing yet terrifying Frying Pan.

Handsdown, Fountain Art Fair is the most fun fair on the scene.  Though the MoMA Armory Launch Party music performance is by  Neon Indian, I can’t wait for Fountian’s Friday Night opening party hosted featuring  Spirit Animal, and a DJ set by New York legend and street art pioneer Fab 5 Freddy!

Fountain Fair: Highlights and Favorites

5 Mar

The musical performance by Gordon Voidwell at Fountain Fair Opening Night reception party, set the perfect atmosphere for this alternative art fair.

Much of the art, like the fair itself, has a crude alternative-pop street feel, especially resonated by its location at The Frying Pan at refurbished lightship that has been resurrected as an event space and bar.

Liked the vitrine by Evo Love at Stash Gallery, massive installation by Greg Haberny that filled one full space with floor to ceiling paintings and constructions.

I especially enjoy Fountain’s dedication to special artist project installations.

I visited In2it,  and had a nice conversation with sculptor and inhabitant Jason Robert Bell.

The igloo is a performance space and occupancy is also being sold as a timeshare.  Layered with carpeting and fur, the igloo features a working air conditioner to underline the irony “selling art is like selling air conditioning in the arctic.”

Tragically, during the set up of this installation, Bell had a studio fire.  I encourage you all to purchase a share of time in In2it support the rebuild.

Fountain Art Fair

The Fountain Art Fair was held at the Frying Pan on boat off 26th street Pier 66.
Fountain brands itself as an exhibition of avant garde artwork, it is really more akin to outsider art.


Loved Raphael Denis Tower of Babel giant installation paired with the preliminary sculpture.


Photos, assemblage piece by Nikki Johnson, stunning piece by Nicholas Forker,

The chaotic atmosphere, the weird smell, and the dizzying swaying of the boat did impede the interesting variety of galleries:

Art Bazaar
ArtSlant
Boltax Gallery
Christina Ray
CREON Gallery
Galerie Zeitgeist
Greg Haberny
Holster Projects
Leo Kesting
Nudashank
Open Ground
Red Truck Gallery
Sarah Nightingale
We-Are-Familia
