I made it to a few of the Containers or Art Positions, as they like to call them, over this past weekend. I couldn't make it too all of them because they closed on as I was walking around–some party. Of the ones, I visited I found them only marginally better then last year. Overall, I think a gallery needs more space to display their art. People never like bumping into people. It just turns them off and when the container is three people wide, this happens too frequently. Anyway, here are the highlights:

The M/M Paris Container was one of my favorites. Many will write them off because they are "Graphic Design" and not Art but to me they are of a higher caliber then the rest of the lots. If anyone knows where I can get a hold of one of those posters, please write me.

Just outside the Containers, there was a crushed airplane sculpture by someone named Adel Abdessemed.
I have several more photosets this is only a part 1 of day 1. Stay tuned for updates coming all week.
