It adds to the show's clarity that nearly a quarter of the booths feature just one artist.
Not all of the booths feature guilty pleasures: on a recent afternoon, one offering foods from around the United Kingdom served fresh raspberries and strawberries from a farm in Perth, Scotland, that were so juicy they needed no cream.
And volunteers organized an annual food festival downtown, where, along with cotton candy, funnel cakes and hot dogs, the booths featured falafel, tacos and Ukrainian blinchiki, while the entertainer Uncle Moishy — flown in from Brooklyn — performed Yiddish songs.
As Sprang morphed into GAZR and took the stage near the end of the night for his performance, there was a very real, emotional moment as he looked out over the crowd and the booths featuring works by all of the artists he and Jordan had invited.
Here's an unusual pairing: a 1971 Buick Riviera Donk (an extreme customization with both lowered springs and inflated rims) at the MHT booth, featuring 30-inch rims and a pair of spinner chrome wheels on one side and clear wheels on the other.
A second art installation, next to the catcall booth, featured a makeshift "convenience store" selling tongue-in-cheek wares such as "Don't Tell Me to Smile" mouthwash and "Back Off Harasser Repellent" aerosol spray.
The booth also features an expressionist "Samson" painting from 1983 by Maria Lassnig, winner (together with Marisa Merz) of a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at this year's Biennale.
Its booth features movie memorabilia (a large model of the Batmobile); visitors can play a game using their cell phones for the chance to win an iPad and other prizes.
His booth features an important French neo-Classical ormolu clock shaped like an urn, signed by the painter Denis Leve and dated 1768.
Safani's booth features a wall of ceramic and stone beasts of burden in stone and terra-cotta, including a fabulous camel from first-century Yemen.
