Every year at this time, Manahattan becomes the black hole of the contemporary art scene, attracting artists, dealers, collectors, and of course hipsters from all over the world into a weekend of manic booth cruising, all to see the latest work from the heavyweights, as well as find out who the next big thing is.
The king of the weekend is The Armory Show, which rivals Art Basel Miami for the title of biggest deal in the U.S. Next is the Scope Art Fair, which continues to get better galleries each year (as more and more can't afford the Armory Show booth fees, I'll bet). Add Pulse, Red Dot, DiVA, ArtNow and a few others, and you have a weekend of contemporary art unparalled in any other city, and in my opinion,a little too crazy, as it's almost impossible to see all the fairs in one weekend.
Why have them all at once? Well...you know when little birds hang out with Hippos, waiting for the scraps that fall out of their mouths? Well it's like that, but in designer shoes, and I'm looking forward to it.
