March 12, 2014 – New York, NY – PULSE Contemporary Art Fair announces the
ninth edition of PULSE New York, from May 8th-11th at The Metropolitan Pavilion. Under
the direction of Helen Toomer, newly appointed Director, PULSE will present a
revitalized platform for discovering contemporary art and demonstrate its commitment to
the exchange of ideas from pioneering and seasoned artists.
Ms. Toomer will steward the transformation by concentrating on curated exhibitions and
redeveloped programming. She aims to enhance the quality of the visitor experience,
cultivate an ardent and immersed community, and increase artwork acquisitions.
”I am very excited about the changes that we are making to the look, feel, and energy of
the fair. I have redesigned the landscape and scaled down the physicality of PULSE
New York so the audience has a chance to really engage, re-contextualize, and not be
overwhelmed by what is in front of them,” comments Ms. Toomer. “This upcoming
edition in New York presents an opportunity to reinvigorate PULSEʼs foundation of
quality and discovery, characteristics that were established nearly 10 years ago.”
Approximately 50 international exhibitors will present an intentional variety of artworks
that span genres from photography and mixed media to film and performance art within
the venueʼs 28,000 square-feet.
IMPULSE, which has traditionally been limited to solo presentations will now serve as an
invitational platform for emerging galleries and be integrated within the main fair to
catalyze connectivity amongst exhibitors and foster a kinetic atmosphere for the
audience. Also inaugural to PULSE New York is POINTS, a presentation of curated
content by the fairʼs Director highlighting the work of alternative spaces and not-for-profit
organizations.
PULSE PROGRAMMING
A fresh series of programming will complement the new tone of the fair. PULSE
Perspectives, the fairʼs daily round table discussions, will explore ideas within
contemporary art and the art market. Led by prominent industry insiders, these
conversations will grant fairgoers intimate and exclusive access to critical issues and
current themes within the industry.
PULSE Play>, a dedicated showcase for video and new media, returns as a platform to
encourage discovery within the digital realm.
The PULSE Prize will expand to award an individual artist whose work is presented
within a solo booth by a PULSE, IMPULSE or POINTS exhibitor, and will again be
selected by an esteemed guest jury consisting of notable curators, collectors and
influencers. PULSE Presents the 2014 PULSE Prize winner on Friday May 9th, from 6-
9pm, with a celebratory event, drinks and performances.
