Arts Week miniguide

Scope New York

What’s it all about? One-person and thematic shows are the name of the game here, with 55 exhibitors from more than 20 countries displaying. Be sure to stop by the 2,000-square-foot tent housing Cheap Fast and Out of Control, a SCOPE Foundation pop-up store selling art, books, vinyl, silk-screened shirts and more at egalitarian prices (“of the artists, for the artists, by the artists”).

What can I do besides stare at pictures? Cinema programs will be staggered throughout each day: “On the Contrary: Recent Artist Videos from the Middle East” screens March 5; George Kuchar’s “Videographic Violations Sinema Show,” plus an artist talk, falls on March 8. Also, March 5–8, catch live music performances by Christy & Emily, Flaming Fire II and Abacus.

Hook me up! Lincoln Center, Damrosch Park, 62nd St between Amsterdam and Columbus Aves a(212-268-1522, scope-art.com). Mar 5–7 noon–8pm; Mar 8 noon–7pm. $10–$100.
