The Wild Kingdom at Pulse

by Art Fag City on March 7, 2010

POST BY PADDY JOHNSON Pulse entrance My visit to the The Armory Art Fair must have cast an animal art only filter over my eyes because that’s all I saw when I visited the Pulse fair yesterday. Walruses, roosters, and, according to gallerist Ingrid Dinter, full frontal sex were popular this year, though I missed […]

Pulse Miami Fares Fine

by Art Fag City on December 6, 2009

POST BY: PADDY JOHNSON Pulse Miami, Photo courtesy: Art House Kudos to Pulse Miami for not repeating their New York fair missteps earlier this year. The fair clearly isn’t as strong as NADA — expect to view roughly 25% more WTF booths — but there were a number of great showings regardless. Not that any […]

Pulse Glitter Awry

by Art Fag City on March 7, 2009

Pulse Art Fair, Photograph AFC Here’s a rather bold, not to mention inaccurate claim gracing the front page of the Pulse art fair website: “The leading US art fair dedicated to solely to contemporary art”. Not to rain on the Pulse parade, but NADA, a fair similarly dedicated to contemporary art, blew them out of […]

Pulse Food Vendors Fail To Meet Low Standards

by Art Fag City on March 7, 2009

Penelope Umbrico’s flickr suns by the Pulse Art Fair cafeteria, Image via: Youngna. I’ve paid less for food at Yankee Staduim than the Pulse Art Fair and it was better.  Who hires art fair vendors and why can’t they sell crowd appropriate food?  My condelences to the exhibitors at Pulse, and anyone who’s forced to […]

by Art Fag City on December 5, 2008
