Launched in 2011, this scrappy fair sets itself apart by having outside curators select the artists. Also, the shows are mounted in unconventional locations: Previous editions have set up shop in the Cathedral School of Old Saint Patrick’s in Nolita and at the former James A. Farley Post Office across from Madison Square Garden. This year’s event returns to 75 Varick Street just north of Tribeca, with over 100 immersive exhibitions engaging with the theme of ‘PARADISE LOST + FOUND’. Exhibitor highlights include punk feminist canvases by artist and activist Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot; new dreamlike paintings by actress Alia Shawkat that engage with her Assyrian heritage; an interactive sensory installation by multi-disciplinary artist KESH; breakout work by Taylor Keister curated by Perrotin artist Nick Doyle; and a durational, music-based performance by Taraka Larson of Prince Rama.
