BROOKLYN’S TAKE ON NY ART WEEK: MARCH 2012

Manhattan’s slew of art shows tend to dominate the art scene this month, however Brooklyn holds its’ own with a number of competing art events, on and off the island:

Art’s Not Fair / This parody of the New York Armory show resides at Like The Spice Gallery in Williamsburg. Like The Spice will be transformed into an “art-fair-like” space showcasing the gallery’s represented artists, such as: Chino Amobi, Brian LaRossa, Allie Rex, Nicki Stager, Eric LoPresti, Jenny Morgan, Reuben Negron, Hans + Gieves, and more.

Fountain Art Fair / This fair, surprisingly held in Manhattan, will specifically showcase a plethora of Brooklyn artists and galleries. A series of performances and DJ concerts will be accompanying this event’s opening on March 9th.

Williamsburg Every 2:ND / On the evening of March 10th, Williamsburg will be transformed into an art fair/gallery hopping district in honor of Brooklyn Armory Night. Various performances and video installations will be played in and around galleries, businesses and on the street. Twelve+ galleries will also stay open until 10pm to participate in this event. Among them are: Like the Spice, Art 101, Black and White, Pierogi, Front Room, and many others.

NYC ARMORY SHOW MARCH 8-11, 2012

The Armory Show is the largest annual art event in New York City. The show is divided into two main categories: Contemporary Art (held in Pier 94) and Modern Art (which is in Pier 92 respectively). This year’s show will feature slightly fewer art galleries than last year’s 274 total, however the plan is to have larger gallery spaces and easier viewing and navigation for visitors (the two Piers will finally be connected via a passageway too this year!). At the Armory Show you’ll find a good mix of both international and national art galleries and artists at a variety of price points. This is a MUST SEE if you’re an art fan who is finding it difficult to make it out to Art Basel and Art Basel Miami.

TICKETING: Advance tickets are currently unavailable for 2012, however you can get tickets at the Box Office throughout the span of the show.

General Admission US $30
Students US $10
Groups (10+) US $15
Run of Show Pass (4 day) US $60
The Armory Show / Volta NY Pass US $40

M-ART-CH MADNESS NYC 2012

If you’re into art, March in NYC is the place for you to be! This month we’ve got those five precious art events that only happen during this glorious but HECTIC time of year: The Whitney Biennial and 5+ major art fairs. My recommendation: go to as many events as possible until you permanently see Roy Lichtenstein prints on the back of your eye-lids – true story. So get out there, buy tickets, stay hydrated and over-indulge yourself. Happy hunting!

PAD NYC : 11/11-11/14/2011

N8 and I went to PAD at the Park Avenue Armory on Sunday (at Park Ave. & 67th St., New York). There was an excellent assortment of art and furniture available, however mostly at the secondary market price point ($$$$$ – It’s not on Park Ave for nothing!). Personal favs from the show included two Lucio Fontana sculptures at L&M Arts:

And and a contemporary, 3-D take of Toile de Jouy wallpaper by Beth Katleman at Todd Merrill Studio Contemporary (a new artist find for me!). All of the figurines are made in ceramic:
