The Armory Show, the anchor presentation of Armory Arts Week, is now in its twelfth year, featuring 267 galleries from 31 countries spread around Piers 92 (modern and historical art) and 94 (contemporary works by living artists) on the Far West Side. Focus:Berlin comprises nearly two dozen galleries from Berlin, while a half dozen exhibitors will represent the Not for Profit section. The Armory Show, along with its offspring, VOLTA NY, will host a series of Open Forum discussions with artists, curators, museum and gallery directors, art writers and editors, and others. Among the events we’re looking forward to is Philip-Lorca diCorcia signing copies of his latest books at David Zwirner’s booth on Saturday at 3:00. There will also be a slew of programs in conjunction with Armory Arts Week in general, with special exhibitions, lectures, discussions, discounted museum admission, and more beginning March 2 at such locations as Grant’s Tomb and Dia at the Hispanic Society of America and continuing with extended hours, open studios, opening-night parties, free brunches, tours, workshops, demonstrations, site-specific installations, film screenings, live performances, and more in SoHo on March 4, Long Island City on March 5, Chelsea and Brooklyn on March 6, and the Lower East Side on March 7.
