Art Fair: PULSE in New York.
3:42 p.m.
Since 2005, PULSE (Contemporary Art Fair) has become an exhibition space for art galleries around the world, showcasing artists that make a point of defying limits. This year, however, the artworks on display are mostly gentle to visitors, easy to live with. It's probably a way to stimulate younger visitors to buy accesible art and thus begin their own collection.
View of PULSE in New York
Most of the galleries at PULSE are from New York and nearby cities. Among them is, for example, Black & White Gallery / Projet Space from Brooklyn, which presented Cuban artist Liset Castillo with a work that pretends to portray universal pain (much like Raquel Forner did), but with room for hope. In it the artist documented the construction of a fake town, where different cultures convey, united by the construction-destruction pair.

Rockelmann & [Impulse], from Berlin, presented an installation by artist Kathleen Vance: a suitcase packed with an inner garden. It belongs to a series of travelling landscapes and it's presented half-opened. It represents a wish to capture a landscape untouched by men.
