The Armory Show: Ivan Navarro

At art fairs, galleries typically rent space in a large hall, display their art, and open up shop. However at the Paul Kasmin gallery this year, Navarro created a site-specific piece that enclosed the gallery's space with a neon white fence. Is it a "white picket fence" or a wrought iron security fence? I love how he recreated such an iconic thing in neon and made it totally eerie.



This piece called "Skin" reminded me of refrigeration and preservation.
