Volta: Erika Harrsch

Erika Harrsch created this clear booth with fluttering paper butterflies. Visitors could jump in there for a chance to catch the butterfly with the golden ticket. So I gave it a try...and found it! I totally felt like Charlie from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (the original version). For my prize, I got one of four limited edition prints of one of her butterflies. Thanks Erika!

Volta: Ken Matsubara

It looks like you should put some really precious objects in these boxes. Instead this artist filled them with eerie, nostalgic video.

Volta: Fabio Viale

He was my favorite artist at Volta. Check out his sculptures. Guess what they're made of!

Marble!

Check out his website to see more work.

Volta: Dan Tague

Dan Tague is an artist from New Orleans. Can you see the hidden messages in our country's currency? P.S. Did you know that New Orleans is having an international art biennial in October?

Volta: Richard Colman

I like these childish, grotesque drawings. His paintings are super bright and the colors are very electric. As for what his paintings mean? A few words come to mind... aztec, human sacrifice, orgy, ritual... Check out his website to get a better feel for this artist.

Volta: Trine Sondergaard

Trine Sondergaard is a Danish photographer. These photos are part of a series where he made portraits of Danish women, from a small island, wearing folk dresses. I like the somber introspective mood of these photos.

The Armory Show: Haim Steinbach
