Here’s Our Fence Post: Riffing off of Robert Barry’s 1969 show at Sperone gallery in Turin—which consisted of a sign announcing that the gallery was closed—Chilean-born artist Iván Navarro has caused a buzz at New York’s Armory show with an enormous neon fence on the site where his gallery, Paul Kasmin, would normally have its stand. In a venue where space is at a premium, the blocked-off area is perhaps the most exclusive site at the fair, a place no one can get in—unless, of course, you buy the piece, in which case you can presumably use it as a playpen or for any other purpose. The full fence costs $360,000, according to the gallery, but buyers can also pick up 7-foot sections for $40,000 each. Meanwhile, there are more of Navarro’s neon light sculptures—spectacular plays of mirrors and light that are modeled on the plans of skyscrapers and appear to extend to infinity—at his solo show in Kasmin’s Chelsea space, which opened last night.   (via artnewsmag)

Don’t shoot me, I’m only the player piano

The stack of paint cans and buckets in Joshua Liner’s stand at the PULSE contemporary-art fair are not particularly impressive, until the lids start moving, banging en masse in meticulously coordinated drum circle. This unlikely percussive tour de force, which the gallery variously describes as a kinetic sound installation and an “animatronic typani,” is titled True Value (paint fukette). It’s the creation of David Ellis, who programmed a composition by Roberto Carlos Lange into the piece using electronics and elements of a player piano. On Friday the fair announced that the work won Ellis the PULSE prize, given to an emerging artist. He gets $2,500 and the opportunity to design the next limited-edition PULSE tote bag.
