The 2013 version of the SCOPE Art Show had a very different feel than any of the other fairs I attended this year. It was loose, emerging, and largely informal, with hardly any photographic work that was recognizable to me. Separating the wheat from the chaff took more effort, as there was plenty to see but much of it not particularly noteworthy. It felt less like a place where I might discover the next big thing in photography and more like a melting pot of some of the new ideas and approaches that are percolating around in the fringes.
The booths/galleries are arranged below by my winding path through the fair, with the images of interest in a slideshow. For each booth, a list of photographers has been provided (assuming there were wall labels/pencil marks to identify them, which there weren’t in many cases), with the number of works on display in parentheses. Additional commentary, prices, and pictures of the installation are also included as appropriate.
