An Art Fair in Brooklyn

By CAROL VOGEL

Verge, the folks who organize satellite fairs for emerging artists in places like Miami Beach, are starting what they say is the first-ever Brooklyn art fair. Called Art Brooklyn, it will be timed to coincide with the Armory Show and will take place in multiple locations throughout the DUMBO neighborhood March 3-6. The aim of the fair is to promote Brooklyn as a cultural hub that will attract artists and collectors from around the world.

As a way of luring young artists and galleries, prices for space at the fair are particularly cheap. A 200-square-foot exhibition space, for example, will only cost $1,950, and artists’ project spaces are inexpensive too, costing those who are accepted a fee of $500 for 100 square feet of space at 111 Front Street.

There will also be a juried exhibition, and there is an open call for artists practicing in every medium. (And Verge is not limiting it to just Brooklyn artists.) Finalists selected from a panel of arts professionals will be given space to show one work from their application at a special section of the fair.

Art Brooklyn is now accepting applications from dealers and artists. Information is available on its Web site, brooklynartfair.com.

RED HOOK ? NEW YORK ? read this email sent by KENTLER INTERNATIONAL DRAWING SPACE Robert Aitchison STATE OF EMERGENCY: PORTRAITS FROM THE PANDEMIC November 6 - December 12, 2021 Join us for the Opening Reception: Saturday, November 6, 4-6pm Artist's Talk: December 5, 4pm (Proof of Vaccine & Masks Required, observing pandemic precautions) Kentler International Drawing Space is pleased to present State of Emergency: Portraits from the Pandemic, a solo exhibition of new work on paper by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Aitchison. This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
