Every 5 years (for the 3rd time), curators gather together in what they term "a war room" for Greater New York and this year whittled down 800 artists to just under 70 showing work made within the last 5 years. Included are Ryan McNamara inviting well-known dancers to teach him ballet throughout the run of the exhibition, David Brooks who displaces a section of a simulated tropical rainforest encasing it in concrete and Tommy Hartung's video installation on memory, The Ascent of Man (in the style of East European animators). There is also a gallery devoted to a choice of the most important artistic events in a 5 Year Review. A substantial live performance schedule every weekend from the artists is concurrent as are cinema screenings including Andrew Lampert who recently showed at Anthology's Migrating Forms. But more of that great festival in a post or two.
