New York’s Ronald Feldman’s Fine Arts turned its entire booth into an installation of Brandon Bellengée’s The Frameworks of Absence, which mourned the loss of over 100 now extinct animal species

把全世界28个国家的199家画廊聚集在一起并不是一件小事，但这些都是纽约军械库展今年推出的数字。像往常一样，在92号和94号码头与哈德逊河畔举行的第17届纽约现代和当代艺术博览会证明，这场展览远没有长久，有着令人兴奋的新兴和成熟画廊的组合，以及对中东、北非和地中海(MENAM)艺术的特别关注。

在阿拉伯的ArtJameel和Edge的支持下，长期以来一直支持中东和北非地区艺术的机构“军械库焦点：MENAM”由来自该地区和欧洲的15家画廊组成，展示来自阿尔巴尼亚、阿尔及利亚、埃及、希腊、伊朗、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦、土耳其、叙利亚等国的艺术家的作品。由伦敦白教堂画廊的奥马尔·霍利夫(Omar Kholeif)策划，令人兴奋的选择从绘画和装置到充满政治色彩的摄影和雕塑应有尽有。

霍雷夫出生在埃及，年轻时就移民到美国，他非常有动力从这个地区提出一个新的艺术起点。“考虑到中东艺术生态的根深蒂固的界限，我决定把[军械库焦点]项目锚定在地中海周围，建议一种新的艺术制图，将南欧的艺术与西亚和北非联系起来。”

集市的其余部分都摆满了同样多的珍宝。从丹尼尔·布伦(Daniel Burn)在卡迈勒·门努尔(Kamel Mennour)的展位和加莱丽·密特朗(Galerie Mitterand)收藏的罗伯特·佩蒂伯恩(Robert Pettibone)创作的一系列引人入胜的作品(尽管规模很小)，到艺术家/环保主义者布兰登·巴伦(Brandon Ballengée)在罗纳德·费尔德曼(Ronald Feldman)艺术展位上的沉浸式装置，向100多个现已灭绝的动物物种
