]]> Paparazzi take note: artcritical is recruiting. We have had it with the current guy: he is simply no Bill Cuningham. This is what he came up with from an afternoon’s clicking at the piers.

A big thank you to all the sartorially expressive visitors and exhibitors he snapped.  But there is a limit to what a fellow can do with an iPhone, especially if he knows nothing about clothes, tends to ignore one of the sexes, suffers from the psychological disorder known as limbphomania, and is trying to look like a respectable art critic while on the prowl for art world elegance and chic.

Candidates for his position should submit one captioned photo of a glamorous visitor or exhibitor of this week’s fairs. Winning submissions and runners up will be posted, and terms negotiated. No suite at the Delano offered for the Miami fairs, alas, but we can come to an arrangement. We need your talent.

A good answer to a paparazzo's questions

Stealing a march on the Armory in an early attack of fair fever, Studio Zürcher launches Salon Zürcher Monday night, February 28, in a show that transforms their Bleecker Street premises into a showcase for seven downtown and Brooklyn galleries, Zürcher themselves being one of them.  In view of the size and range of fairs in the offing, this is perhaps a homeopathic dose of the overdose to come

The gallery has been chopped up into booths, handsomely fitted with what are rather sturdy looking temporary walls for a fair.  Zürcher hosts six renowned galleries from the Lower East Side and Williamsburg, some of whom were pioneers of their respective neighborhoods.  It is a way for the New York satellite of the prominent Paris gallery to acknowledge peers among what could be called the “indie” dealers of the offbeat locales.  The idea of proprietors Bernard and Gwenolee Zürcher is that harried visitors to New York for the fairs week will not have time, but will have the desire, to sample the wonders of the Lower East Side and Brooklyn.

Zürcher’s guests are Feature, Inc.; The Journal Gallery; Stephan Stoyanov Gallery; the Proposition; Parker’s Box; and Audio Visual Arts.  The show opens Monday night, 5-8, and might well qualify as first off the mark in Armory Week.

Until March 6, 33 Bleecker Street, between Lafayette Street and Bowery, New York City, 212 777 0790
