Thanks to Colleen, my good friend and author of
New Dork City, I was in the know on the eight international art fairs happening this weekend in New York. With so many choices...how's a girl to choose? I opted for the Bridge Art Fair over the Armory the others mostly because Colleen sent me an email about it, I read there was going to be some contemporary Asian art (something I haven't seen much of) and I wanted to check out the space. It was held in The Waterfront building, a 23,000-square-foot converted railway tunnel that was once home to the infamous
Tunnel nightclub, a place I never got the chance to see. The Fair showcased more than 50 international exhibitors, many of whom had not yet shown their work in the States. The highlight for me was definitely the work of Polish photographer,
Anna Druzcz. The basis for her work, part of a series called In Vitro Complex, are photographs of artificially reconstructed, natural environments which she later manipulates digitally. The content and aesthetic of the photos were very unique and interesting as was her statement about man's interaction with nature.
