What's Up, Guvna? .. sketches for the island 2011.. . .. ... .. . . . . .. . ..

This year's Governors Island Art Fair is turning into something unexpectedly interesting.  For the past few years we 4heads have opened 120 exhibition areas in the abandoned miltary bunkers of this surreal colonial outcrop.  And a vast majority of these dingy rooms were commandeered by individual art makers encouraged to work freely there in whatever form the vision takes. 

The first big change this year is the upswell in the aspect of festivity.  And thats always good.  The live music and performance art will happen on themed weekends (something like): Bluegrass, Gypsy Music,  which, mixed with the more austere large scale exhibition, can only be a breeding ground for more incredible possibilities. 
The record and film industries are being gradually dismantled by the everyman infusion of accessible technology.  How long before the art world does?  What will be the catalyst to activate the ultimate revelation that the emperors clothes are complete bullshit and that creativity belongs to all - and that all hierarchies are a sham.
