Pulse New York

Metropolitan Pavilion, New York

PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is the leading US art fair dedicated solely to contemporary art. Through its annual editions in Miami and New York, PULSE provides a unique platform for diverse galleries to present a progressive blend of renowned and pioneering contemporary artists, alongside an evolving series of original programming. The fair's distinctive commitment to the art community and visitor experience makes PULSE unique among art fairs and creates an art market experience that is both dynamic and inviting.

The Fair is divided into two sections and is comprised of a mix of established and emerging galleries vetted by a committee of prominent international dealers. The IMPULSE section presents galleries invited by the Committee to present solo project booths exhibiting emerging work created in the past two years. One artist featured in the IMPULSE section is awarded the PULSE Prize, which is a cash grant given to the winner artist to help further his career. In addition, PULSE develops original cultural programming with a series of large-scale installations, its PULSE Play> video lounge, and the PULSE Performance events. PULSE supports numerous nonprofit art organizations and schools.

PULSE Projects 2013
PULSE Art Fair's signature PULSE Projects program is committed to the presentation and promotion of audience-engaging, large-scale sculptures, installations and performances. A highlight of PULSE New York 2013 will be the presence of three ongoing performances throughout the venue. At COAGULA CURATORIAL, Tim Youd will "perform" the re-typing of Henry Miller's legendary Tropic of Capricorn on one page of paper, using the same brand of typewriter as Miller, a classic Underwood manufactured in the early 1930s. A special project from Creative Capital—Spring Flings & Pretty Things—will feature the dynamic

Texas artist, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, in the unlikely role of exhibiting and selling his own works at the fair, resulting in a high-energy performative installation. After their wildly popular performance last year, performance artists, Liza Lozano and Tora Lopez return with We Couldn't Remember What We Came To Forget. Through a combination of specific lighting, palm trees, LCD screens, and sounds of the ocean, Lozano and Lopez will create a vacation "destination" on the second floor of the fair. Visitors can interact with the artists as they spend their "vacation" lounging, taking photos and videos, and relaxing in an, otherwise, frenetic environment. Other PULSE Projects include Russell Maltz's PAINTED /STACK, day glo enamel on concrete blocks dispersed throughout the fair, courtesy Galerie Michael Sturm; in addition to hanging neon comets, Comet: Nature and Comet: Grace by Tristin Lowe, and futuristic-like sculptures created from packaging materials for computers, stereos, and televisions by Jason Rogenes, both courtesy of The West Collection.

PULSE Play 2013
The New York 2013 edition of PULSE PLAY, the fair's curated video and technology series, features Janica Rusica's three monitor installation, Screen Test (For A Living Sculpture) (courtesy of OTTO ZOO); The Labyrinth Runner by Robbie Corneliseen, which follows the rhythmic breathing of a runner (courtesy of Art Mûr); and Lars Arrhenius, who uses pictographs to create imagery in The Street, (courtesy of The West Collection).
