For three days, Mexico City´s residents aka Chilangos, will enjoy contemporary art from 40 galleries, mostly national but also a strong presence of international galleries, through paintings, graphics, sculptures, photographs and drawings. The relaxed format that has characterized AAF since its first edition in London over 10 years ago, invites attendees to browse freely not only the details of each work, but also its prices, which will be on display throughout the show.
Among the galleries that will take part on this first edition are Aldama Fine Art, Ethra, Terreno Baldío Arte, Garash, Altiplano, Yautepec, Fifty24mx, Jesús Villafán from Oaxaca, No Name Gallery from Guadalajara, and the Veracruz Institute of Culture featuring winning artists in last year´s Veracruz Biennale. Among them, countries such as Cuba with Galería Avistamientos and Guatemala with Arthis, will take part.

Another aspect of the Educational Program will be the print workshops in which the public can learn about the processes behind the different techniques and learn how to create their own works of art.
For the youngest there is also place inside Affordable Art Fair, an educational space that seeks to encourage and facilitate the creative development of children and youth through art.
This first edition will also have great allies to foster affordable contemporary art in Mexico in a fun way. There will be talks and lectures with renowned speakers and topics for both beginners and professionals in art. All these activities will be offered at no extra cost to the attendees.
Undoubtedly, Affordable Art Fair México will be a come to revolutionize not only the way we appreciate art, but also the way we enjoy it, live it and buy it.

Whitney - The "Ingenious" Wade Guyton, plus Fireflies on the Water
 
OCTOBER 10–23See the exhibition heralded as "beautiful" (The New York Times) and "ingenious, and also moving" (The New Yorker). Wade Guyton OS is a striking installation of Guyton's innovative work that explores our changing relationship to images and art through the use of technology. Yayoi Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water continues through October 28. Special timed tickets are required for Fireflies, so see our website for information before your visit. We hope to see you at the Whitney! Exhibitions Family Programs Shop Other Events Become a Member Exhibitions BACK TO TOP Signs & Symbols "Works whose essentials anyone anywhere could relate to"—The New York Times Through October 28  Drawn from the Whitney’s collection, Signs & Symbols sheds new light on the developments of abstraction in American art during the 1940s and 1950s. Looking beyond Abstract Expressionism, toward the figurative and calligraphic “signs and symbols” present in much of the highly controlled work of this period, this exhibition features works by seminal artists including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Adolph Gottlieb, among others. Oskar Fischinger: Space Light Art—A Film Environment "At once relaxing and stimulating, and possibly hypnotic"—Artinfo Through October 28  This exhibition presents one of the first multimedia projections ever made: Oskar Fischinger’s Raumlichtkunst (Space Light Art), a re-creation of his multiple-screen film events, first shown in Germany in 1926, and recently restored by the Center for Visual Music in Los Angeles. Radical in format, its display of abstract shapes and colors produces, according to Fischinger, “an intoxication by light from a thousand sources.” Fireflies on the Water Through October 28  Yayoi Kusama’s depictions of seemingly endless space have been a central focus of her artistic career. Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water (2002)—with its carefully constructed environment of lights, mirrors, and water—is one of the outstanding examples of this kind of installation, which creates a space in which individual viewers are invited to transcend their sense of self. Special timed tickets are required for entry into Fireflies on the Water. Tickets are free with Museum admission and available day-of-visit on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend you arrive early. Wade Guyton OS "The Whitney Museum has a hit on its hands: a beautiful show organized by a young curator that makes a cogent case for the work of a young artist."—The New York Times Through January 13, 2013 
Over the past decade, New York–based artist Wade Guyton has pioneered a groundbreaking body of work that explores our changing relationships to images and artworks through the use of common digital technologies, such as the desktop computer, scanner, and inkjet printer. Guyton’s purposeful misuse of these tools to make paintings and drawings results in beautiful accidents that relate to the ways in which we haltingly navigate the visual and technological barrage of our time.. . . as apple pie On continuous view  Images, like words, can trigger a cultural or emotional response to a shared national ethos. Artists have employed images—sometimes straightforwardly, often obliquely—in order to comment on a country, its people, its political or social goals, and its self-image. This exhibition explores this phenomenon through a rotating installation, drawn from the Whitney’s collection, of works on paper by a diverse group of artists including Robert Bechtle, Enrique Chagoya, Howard Cook, William N. Copley, Edward Hopper, Willard Midgette, Joseph Pennell, Benton Spruance, and Stow Wengenroth. Family Programs BACK TO TOP Whitney Wees: Shapes, Lines, and Symbols For families with kids age 4–5 October 13, 20, and 27 10:30–11:30 am

Shop BACK TO TOP Wade Guyton OS $55 / $40 for members  This catalogue illuminates Wade Guyton's unconventional working methods and the development of his techniques, showcasing the visual flair and conceptual provocation inherent in his art. Wade Guyton: Drawings for a Small Picture $65 / $58.50 for members  In conjunction with his exhibition at the Secession in Vienna, Guyton produced this artist’s book, which enacts his creative methods across more than sixty color pages. Other Events BACK TO TOP Film Forum Presents: Bel Borba Aqui Through October 16 Film Forum West Houston Street (West of 6th Avenue)  For the past thirty-five years, Bel Borba has been transforming his hometown of Salvador, Brazil with an amazing array of works of public art. Using paint, sand, tiles, clay, metal, wood, and just about anything else he comes across, Bel Borba makes art that is a natural extension of his exuberant personality. Set to the rhythms of Brazil, Bel Borba Aqui introduces a one-man life-force who proves that his country is a lot more than favelas, soccer, and drugs.

Susan Marx - "Rose Garden" (2012), 30"x 24", acrylic on canvas
Abstract
Impressionist Susan Marx's devotion to startling jubilant color is
contagious. She is in love with color and with paint.
Inspired
by the French masters, Monet, Van Gogh and Abstract Expressionist Joan
Mitchell, Marx invigorates her canvases with colorful
dynamic brushstrokes. She approaches painting with the thoughtful
spontaneity of an Impressionist. Pastoral scenes are alive with
spirited energy. Marx's effervescent use of light pierces through her
canvasses, stunning us into sensual appreciation of our natural world.
Ardently devoted to painting en plein air, out
of doors, Marx's dedication to nature is lithe with personal emotions.
Sensuous shapes tempered with vigorous color, breathe life into Marx's
personal, dynamic compositions. "Color, the use of warm and cool colors
and their combinations are of extreme importance, as are my expressive
brushstrokes, my personal handwriting," explains Marx. "My painting is a
result of my radical amazement at the visual world and my need to turn
that visual experience into paint. Nature is my starting point, but not
my end result. I try to capture the essence of a scene. Its emotions
and color. And leave the rest to the viewer's imagination to bring him
itso the painting."
Susan
Marx is represented by and exhibits at the A. Jain Marunouchi Gallery,
24 West 57th Street, the Agora Gallery, 520 West 25th Street and the
Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, 531 West 25th Street in New York City. She
has also exhibited at the Fox Gallery, the Keane Mason Gallery and The
Emerging Collector in New York and in New Jersey at the Robin Hutchins
Gallery, the Korby Gallery, the Hait Gallery, Nitsa Fine Arts, the
Marino Gallery, The Art Gallery of South Orange, The Gaelen Gallery
East, The Tenth Muse, and The Right Angle. She exhibited in Paris at
the Musée des Duncan. In Israel, she showed her work at the Museum of
Printing Art in Safed and at the Artist's House in Jerusalem.
Marx's
paintings are is in private collections in the United States and
abroad. She lives in Orange, NJ and volunteers at the Montclair Art
Museum and the Newark Museum.

FIT Hosts Lecture by British Photographer Martin Parr
FIT HOSTS LECTURE
BY BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHER MARTIN PARR
Free and Open to the Public
WHAT: British photographer Martin Parr is internationally known for his innovative imagery, his oblique approach to social documentary, and his input to photographic culture within the UK and abroad.<-- Photo from Martin Parr's Portfolio
Parr says of his work, “With photography, I like to create fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society’s natural prejudice and giving this a twist.”
In recent years, Parr has developed an interest in filmmaking, and has started to use his photography within different conventions, such as fashion and advertising. In 2002 the Barbican Art Gallery and the National Media Museum in England initiated a retrospective of Martin Parr’s work, which toured Europe for five years. He is a visiting professor at the University of Wales, Newport campus, and he is a full member of Magnum Photographic Corporation.
WHEN: Tuesday, October 16, 3:30 pm
WHERE: FIT, Katie Murphy Amphitheatre
