I’ve been looking forward to this event for a few months now, ever since I met Langdon Graves at the Scope Hamptons event earlier this year; she mentioned attending Parsons, where friends of mine Ashley Kesling and Jessica Cannon also attended, and whom Langdon knew, so I was looking forward to seeing Langdon’s work. I was also introduced to her friend and studio-mate Nick Van Woert. Langdon and Nick had, without a doubt, the best work on show! Both of them had a really acute understanding of how to install their work, taking into account the entire space, with Langdon’s being more adjusted to the site, taking into account the partition walls, the supporting columns, etc. I believe they are both final-year students so it’s only a short time until their thesis show, which I’m now eagerly looking forward to!

YEAR_06 is billing itself as a ‘project-based’ (their hyphen, not mine! gotta love it!) fair, and I wish I was there. I’ve always been a fan of the art fair, indifferent (not so ambivalent, more about indifference) to their location as a playground for the rich; I’ve always appreciated seeing large groups of people congregate to look at art, no matter how high or low.
