Some fifty international galleries will be exhibiting at this year’s edition of SCOPE, being held once again under a big tent in Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park. In addition, the fashionable Markt will be back, with displays by such designers as Chicks on Speed, Graham Tabor & Miguel Villalobos, and Shari Pierce. Special cinematic events include Martha Colburn’s “Political Revolution in My Basement” on March 4, “A Shaded View on Fashion Film” on March 5, Zach Layton’s “d.i.y. sci-fi” on March 6 (with a live performance by the Fair Use Trio at 4:00), and Columbia University’s “The Interruption” multimedia installation on March 7. And if you need a shuttle to the Armory Show or Pulse, you can hop aboard Pratima Naithani’s “The Sweet Shop” mobile project.
UPDATE: SCOPE is more manageable than it’s been in past years, with a better selection of artwork as well. We particularly recommend EVOL’s cardboard pieces at Anonymous, Noelle K. Tan’s dark photographs at Civilian Art Projects, the one-dollar art gumball machine at jackie paper, Noh Ju Hwam’s typeset sculpture at Kwanhoon, Daniel Glaser and Magdalena Kunz’s talking cinematographic sculptures at Gagliardi Art System, Victor Sydorenko’s red Levitation series at Mironova, Asako Shimizu’s beautiful “On Her Skin” series at Wada Garou, and just about everything at Galeria Christopher Paschall.
