Pulse
What is it? Pulse is a more laid-back version of the Armory show, perfect for those seeking a fair filled with challenging contemporary work without all the drafty armories and windswept piers. Sixty-three galleries are setting up shop in the Metropolitan Pavilion, a two-floor, easily navigable venue in Chelsea.
What's special this year? Despite its relatively compact scale, you'll be treated to work from such far-flung places as the Philippines, Singapore and Norway, as well as lesser-known local spaces like Pablo's Birthday. Be sure to stop by Lower East Side gallerist Jen Beckman's booth: She'll be bringing French photographer Christian Chaize's Portugal beach series, and paintings of warehouses and dollar stores by Michelle Muldrow to Pulse.
Get me there! 125 W 18th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-255-2327, pulse-art.com). Mar 3 1–8pm; Mar 4, 5 noon–8pm; Mar 6 noon–5pm. $20, students $15, groups $12 per person, children under 12 free.
