The Armory Show 2019 will host five distinct exhibitor sections across Piers 92 & 94, incorporating two curator-led sections alongside an array of exciting programming for its 65,000 annual visitors. Prospective exhibitors may apply to one or more of the following exhibitor sections—Galleries, Insights, Focus, Presents and/or Platform—detailed below:
Galleries
In Galleries, the core section of The Armory Show, leading international galleries present outstanding 20th and 21st century artworks across a range of media. Booth proposals must include works made after the year 2000.
Insights
Dedicated exclusively to 20th century artworks, Insights emphasizes solo-artist, dual-artist and thematic presentations by established modern and contemporary galleries. This section highlights canonical works of modernism and the post-war era as well as important rediscoveries.
Focus
Organized by an appointed curator, Focus is devoted to solo- and dual-artist presentations of today’s most relevant and compelling artwork. The 2019 Focus curator and theme will be announced at a later date.
Presents
Presents is a platform for emerging galleries no more than ten years old to showcase recent work through solo- and dual-artist presentations. Applying galleries must be founded after January 2009 and proposed artworks less than three years old.
Platform
Platform is a curated section offering artists the opportunity to realize large-scale installations and performances that respond to and activate the fair’s industrial venue. The 2019 Platform curator and theme will be announced at a later date.
