Plus, Melissa Cody, an art exhibition that makes rejection look good, and more.
Welcome to Armory Week! Right now, it’s the calm before the storm — or perhaps your tempest is already howling — as art fairs across the city prepare to open. We know all too well how ploughing your way through this annual sea of shows can be a daunting task, so Hyperallergic Staff Writers Rhea Nayyar and Maya Pontone kindly prepared a guide to New York City’s fall art fairs so you can figure out what’s worth seeing this week and plan your schedule accordingly. For our New York newsletter subscribers, we’re pleased to offer discounts on tickets to select fairs: The Armory Show: Use code HYPERSUBSCRIBER for 20% off. Art on Paper: Use code HYPER25 for 25% off. Spring Break: Use code HYPER1002024 for 50% off. When you need to take a breather from fair madness, we recommend checking out Taliesin Thomas’s recommendations of shows to see Upstate in September as well as our guide to open studio events in and around the city this fall. Ela Bittencourt’s review of Melissa Cody’s show at MoMA PS1, which is closing this weekend, is really good too. In other news, have you heard the rumors that Hyperallergic is having a 15th anniversary party? Yes, it’s true and it’s happening in Brooklyn on October 9. Early access tickets are now available for Hyperallergic Members. To join us at the party, become a member now at hyperallergic.com/membership.

FROM OUR CRITICS | | | | Melissa Cody: Webbed Skies at MoMA PS1 | “Melissa Cody’s textile art boldly remixes motifs from Indigenous myths, popular culture, and her own life.... [her] deliberately helter-skelter patterning subverts both perceptual expectations and what it means to preserve artistic traditions.” |
