New York City, there is just so much going on creatively in May that it is just bursting at the seams. There is Frieze New York, on Randalls Island, there is The International Comtemporary Furniture Fair, ICFF, at Javits, there is WANTED Design at the Terminal Stores on 11th Avene, to name just a few. And the mother of them all, The Whitney Biennial is on, which is the last one to be held in the historic Marcel Breuer building on Madison Ave. before the Whitney moves to its new location in Chelsea next spring. I was glad I went, to see the space so crowded with art that the new space indeed seems like a refreshing idea. Who was shown is another story I will leave to critics, but I have Craft in my soul so these appeal to me, thou I can’t really explain their inclusion in the show. For some reading on the show, The New Yorker , The Times, among many.
