Armed with Art: The New Platoon at Governor’s Island
Set against the backdrop of New York City’s historic, often secretive military fort, the 3rd annual Governor’s Island Art Fair took over the former barracks of the enlisted men. The once restricted island is open to the public for outdoor activities, historic tours and public art like this weekend’s extensive exhibition.
Over 100 artists had their own rooms within the apartments to transform. The installations they created ranged from neat rows of framed pictures to full transformations of the spaces, complete with multimedia imaging. See the video for a quick trip to Governor’s Island and a glimpse into the art and artists of the 4 heads Art Fair.
