Though it may feel like we’re in the dead of winter, Spring/Break Art Show kicks off this Wednesday at the United Nations Plaza in Midtown East. Spring/Break is the Armory Show’s edgier younger sister, focusing more on concepts and individual artists rather than market trends and gallerists.
The art show gives curators and artists a chance to explore new ideas while providing them with free exhibition space. Their mission is to show “Visionary perspectives both established and unknown that engage these areas under a unifying theme and push to extend the boundaries of typical market week practices, low overhead and shifting curatorial themes their assets to this end,” as stated on their website.
The theme of this year’s art fair is FACT AND FICTION, which calls artists and curators to explore what’s perceived as real and what’s not in a world of fake news, corrupt government, and conspiracy theories.
