NEW YORK—The
Art Dealers Association of America is offering something new at its annual
Art Show this February, according to the
New York Times. This year, in addition to the usual dealers' booths, the fair at the Park Avenue Armory will include three site-specific projects by emerging artists. All three have affiliations to
Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, as do ADAA president
Roland Augustine, who is a trustee of the school, and Armory artistic adviser
Tom Eccles, who directs Bard's
Center for Curatorial Studies. The projects, which will be open to the public, include a collaboration between artist
Spencer Finch and
Trevor Smith, the center's curator in residence; an installation by
Lisi Raskin, an artist in residence at Bard; and a performance piece Italian artist
Pietro Roccasalva is creating together with a Bard student. Artists from Bard's graduate program will create a video installation for the armory as well. The projects are part of an effort to draw a new, younger audience to the Art Show.
