The Armory Show

Javits Center, 429 Eleventh Avenue, Midtown West, Manhattan
The Armory Show has all the bells and whistles you could ask for, packaged neatly in white-walled booths lining the gargantuan Javits Center. Growing at a steady rate year after year, the Armory is celebrating its 30th anniversary with over 235 participating galleries representing 35 different countries. Site-specific works by Sanford Biggers, Dominique Fung, Nicholas Galanin, and Joyce J. Scott convene at the center of the fair through the Platforms program, while queer and postcolonial narratives dominate the Focus section.
