Pier 94 – lights, action and some ho hum at the Armory contemporary

On the whole, we found the Armory Show contemporary pier (Pier 94) to be a disappointing mix. It felt like a cloud of low energy had descended and sucked the life out of the fair. Much of the sculpture and painting we saw seemed uninteresting–at least it didn’t interest us. Mostly photographs and video held our interest. Ivan Navarro’s light fence — which was so bright it might have been there to prevent the onset of SADs in the viewers — was no help. Ten minutes spent near its fluorescent rays contributed to our depression as we wandered around.

Fare at the NY art fairs – the Armory

We know we missed some of the Armory — for starters, we never made it to Pier 92, the Modern section. And while it seems like we saw tons of art we fear we missed some at Pier 94 where the Armory Contemporary was. Carrumba.
