PARK AVENUE ARMORY AND ART DEALERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
ANNOUNCE SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS IN ARMORY’S HISTORIC INTERIORS
Commission Celebrates Ongoing Revitalization of Park Avenue Armory and Marks 20th Anniversary of
The Art Show
NEW YORK, January 25, 2008 — Park Avenue Armory in association with the Art Dealers Association of
America (ADAA) announced today that three artists have been commissioned to create site-specific works
for the Armory’s historic rooms. The artists, selected by curators Trevor Smith, Vincenzo de Bellis, Maria
Lind under the supervision of Tom Eccles Executive Director at Center For Curatorial Studies, Bard
College, are Spencer Finch, Lisi Raskin, and Pietro Roccasalva. In addition, a video and multimedia art
installation by multiple contemporary artists will occupy the Armory’s main hallway. The installations which
are titled High Resolution: Artists Projects at the Armory will be on view from February 21–25, 2008,
during the 20th annual Art Show which is organized by the ADAA to benefit Henry Street Settlement.
“The realization of this project speaks to the strengths of both The Art Show and Park Avenue Armory as
they create an inviting space for contemporary, modern and historical art,” said Roland Augustine,
President of the Art Dealers Association of America and Partner in Luhring Augustine. “The Armory has
always been home to The Art Show and we want to support their work by stimulating new creative projects
in its revitalized space.”
as a monitoring station. The installation will be a mobile observation point in which the room will be
monitored by three guards within a private chamber. The secret chamber will not be physically accessible
to viewers of the installation, but will be visible via TV monitors, and radio transmissions—creating a space
where the would-be art viewers become the subjects being viewed.
Raskin is artist-in-residence at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College for 2008, her project is
curated by Maria Lind, Director of Master Program, CCS Bard College

FOLKSONG
508 W 25th st, New York City
Live performance October 11-20, 11am - 5pm
FOLKSONG is a ten-day performance. For six hours a day, Ragnar Kjartansson will stand in his tableau vivant of autumn trees and setting sun, singing his heart out to passers-by. The work is a European’s bona fide take on America, loaded with clichés from different cultural productions. Dressed in cocktail wear and braced with a shiny red hollow body and a powerful amplifier, Kjartansson performs over and over again a short verse from an unknown but strangely familiar song.
Born in Iceland in 1976, Ragnar Kjartansson has as an artist and musician taken on countless roles, each a merger of personas from cultural history and his present self. His line of work includes video, drawing and painting, with performance at the centre of his practice. Exploring the relationship between the artist and the viewer, his experiments range from the display of a simple sign apologizing for the artist’s absence, to his physical presence for a whole month performing relentlessly. Combining the video loop, musical tradition and theatre practice, Kjartansson repeats the same thing again and again. In the role of the incurable romantic, he declares: “Art is for me like the blues; I use it to purify my soul.”
The event is curated by Markus Thor Andresson.
