75 Varick

By first inhabiting St. Patrick's Old School, and then the former James A. Farley Post Office, Condé Nast building at 4 Times Square, UN Plaza building, and most recently Ralph Lauren's former 625 Madison Ave offices in New York City and former publishing offices at 75 Varick in Hudson Square -- and in former Fruit & Vegetable stalls, and clothing and munitions factories in Los Angeles -- the fair positions itself as a cultural destination 'on the coattails of the collatoral damage of capital' -- building into its exhibitions a witness of the dissolution of 20th Century grandeur as much as the flowering of -- and support for -- 21st Centrury artists and their struggle.
