I was in New York for business and was able to get about an hour to drop by The Armory Show 05. Unfortunately I could only make it to the Pier 90 portion of the show but what I did see was somewhat interesting, a little bit confusing and not what I was expecting. There didn't seem to be any artists or themes that energized me (although being on a tight time schedule and seeing only half the show could have tainted my view). There were crowds of people at the exhibits and from my observation and conversations I expect the 40,000+ in expected attendance to be attained.

There is an interesting online slideshow showcasing Young German Art  sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour and the German-Pavilion.com.
