-Scope

636 Eleventh Avenue, New York

Scope hunts down that most endangered of species: the emerging artist. Both moving target and elusive chameleon, Scope's 75 participants capture this exotic breed in their roving crosshairs. Challenging passive viewing with 30,000 square feet of open-range, Scope New York exposes visitors to a real-time survey of the contemporary art world available nowhere else.
