1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair Announces New York Pop-Up Edition at Pioneer Works
1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair will launch a New York pop-up edition from May 15-17, 2015, coinciding with Frieze New York. The event will be hosted at Pioneer Works: Center for Art and Innovation, a nonprofit organization situated in a 19th-century factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Koyo Kouoh will lead the 1:54 NY Forum, a series of talks and panel discussions, alongside a public program featuring various social events.
