This year Scope is expanding into a sixty-thousand-square-foot space along the West Side Highway, where more than fifty international exhibitors will have work on view, including a.m.f. projects, Mindy Solomon, Galeria Christopher Paschall, Galerie Von Braunbehrens, Gallery Dukan & Hourdequin, Sundaram Tagore Gallery, Paci Arte, and Aureus Contemporary. Scope will host numerous special events during the fair, centered around “us vs us,” which takes place in the fenced-in mezzanine and consists of such site-specific performance art pieces as “Come On Guy,” Craig Smith’s “Stacking Boats: A Lesson Plan,” Stephanie Diamond’s “Home Away from Home” corner store, Cinders Gallery’s “The Outer-Boroughs Cyclical Non-Cynical Art School of Thought,” and Grace Space’s “The Way to Love Me,” in which members of the audience are encouraged to lie to one another. Other special projects include the Rebaroque Artist Series Sound Wall, a film program from Robert Boyd, and the West Harlem Art Fund’s “Gumboot Dance.”
