Armory Week is upon us once again, beginning tomorrow, and accordingly, there are concurrent exhibitions that often steal the spotlight from the main fairs. One such show is the “DISown – Not For Everyone" exhibition by DIS Magazine at Red Bull Studios' gallery space in New York (220 West 18th Street), which takes place from March 6 to April 6.
Curated by Agatha Wara and DIS Magazine, the exhibition has products by over 30 contemporary artists and designers, from Ryan Trecartin to Lizzie Fitch, Jon Rafman, Bjarne Melgaard, Amalia Ulman, and Telfar. They are on sale for between $50 and $500 to comment on the new status of the art object.
We've gotten clever product descriptions from 11 of the exhibiting artists, who understand the new ways taste and consumerism collide.
