art fair

I personally don't remember very many artworks that I’ve seen from visiting an art fair. Works that I remember, that have stuck with me, are those from experiences that are much more engaging as a platform, whether that be a museum or even some kind of specialty boutique fair—not a convention center.

My interpretation of the piece was that these artists took their moment at the main art fair of the year to hold up a mirror to the visitors, reflecting on humans' desire to always want more, to want to bend reality to our will, how absurd that sometimes can be.
