本周，纽约市正处于艺术热的阵痛之中，在这座大都市举办了不止一个，而是五个交易会-其中最著名的是军械库展，它俯瞰着92/94号码头的哈德逊河(Hudson River)。现代形式的艺术展自1999年以来一直在运作，尽管今年它庆祝了同名的百年纪念-1913年的原始军械库展，以把像马塞尔·杜尚(Marcel Duchamp)这样的前卫欧洲人的作品引入美国海岸而闻名于世。

正是由于同样的开拓精神，今年的交易会正全力以赴。组织者轻敲布鲁克林区实践巴德StisteBeer-Cox设计室内格栅景观，以及一系列实验胶合板家具项目在休息室地区。BSC的银色和灰色的调色板为军械库2013国际画廊的多样化名册提供了背景，这不仅是重量级拳击手的名字，也是第一批计时器的一部分。房子里还有两个特别精心安排的地方：一个专门用于一个人表演的栏目，另一个叫做“军械库焦点”。

在后者中，安迪·沃霍尔博物馆馆长埃里克·施纳(EricShiner)着重介绍了来自美国的17家知名和新兴画廊的当代努力。这种折衷的选择生动地证明了美国艺术家的文化多样性，背景是更广泛、更国际化的背景。

军械库冒了另一个风险，它选择了年度最佳艺术家Liz MagicLasers。这位纽约的表演艺术家设计了展览的视觉标识和一些限量版的艺术品。以她特有的讽刺方式，她进行了自己的市场调查，领导了一系列的焦点小组，以发现公平的观众希望看到她塑造这个节目。

其结果是完全透明，从财务到游客人数，再到租用一个展位的费用。在整个交易会上，与会者可以看到这些在员工制服和手提包上刻有图案的事实和数字。举个例子，持卡的贵宾们得知，在12，365位贵宾中，有1人是他们的接受者.

今年的展厅有214家展厅，有意缩小规模，所有的努力都是为了加强这一展览。不可否认的是，它的活力确保了它作为纽约艺术舞台的巅峰地位。

The New York-based performance artist Liz Magic Laser designed the fair’s visual identity along with several limited-edition artworks. An usher dons a t-shirt printed with The Armory Show statistics from Laser's commissioned work

In her characteristically satirical way, Laser conducted her own market research, leading a series of focus groups to discover how fair-goers would like to see her shape the show. Pictured, a pastel sketch of one her 2-hour focus groups in session
