The always freewheeling, raucous party/installation–cum–art fair that is the Spring/Break Art Show opened its sixth edition on Tuesday, February 28, to invited guests and press. The “curator-driven” fair asked artists—and their curators—to respond to the theme of “Black Mirror.” Below, a look around the fair, which did not fail to up the ante after moving from the former James A. Farley Post Office by Penn Station to 4 Times Square, the former Condé Nast Building.
