Wassan Al-Khudhairi, the chief curator at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, is the curator of this year’s Focus, a recurring section of the Armory Show—one of America’s biggest art fairs, on view from September 9–12 at New York’s Javits Center—that features contemporary solo and dual artist presentations. A destination within the fair itself, Focus allows for involvement in the event through subsidized rates for galleries that might not be able to participate otherwise. And for the first time, in its upcoming iteration, Focus will be in the same building as the main fair (instead of an off-site location), providing increased visibility.
