Darkness Falls: Dark Fair
March 26, 2008 by piegirl
Blackouts are the new black this weekend. As part of the art fair extravaganza descending on NYC, Dark Fair offers a dimly lit alternative to the blinding fluorescents and carefully positioned spots over at the Armory and elsewhere. Rather than natural or artificial light, artists will use alternative light forms — gas lamps, candles, battery, etc. — to illuminate their work. Some pieces will even be self-illuminated. From the press release:
Visitors will be able to get lost in the work and each other in new ways in this cavernous underworld of exchange, featuring shadowy bar booths, chill-out zones, flashlights and headlamps.
And because rave toys go best with music, DJs will provide a soundtrack to your evening. Dope.
Dark Fair takes place March 28th from 6pm-midnight and March 29th from noon-midnight at the Swiss Institute, located at 495 Broadway, 3rd Floor (at Broome). 212.925.2035.
