Häagen-Dazs is showcasing the innovative work of Kim Bennett, Cary Leibowitz, Stephen Powers, and the Starlings (Nowacek & Zurkow). Creative Time invited the artists to design collectible, limited-edition objects for free distribution at The Armory Show 2003 in New York.

Kim Bennett’s felt pennant, extending from one of her wallpaper designs, champions a fantastical world. Stephen Powers’s eight buttons feature phrases that invite those who wear them to coyly play with the decorum of the art world. A similar interest in discourse characterizes the Starlings’ pen and bracelet set, which asks people to award their tokens of “good taste” and “bad taste” to artists, dealers and other visitors to the fair. All of these collectibles are yours to take home in a bag decorated by Cary Leibowitz, which itself lightly mocks the friendly banter of art enthusiasts at galleries, museums and art fairs.

The Armory Show 2003 will take place on Piers 88 & 90 at 12th Avenue between 48th & 50th Streets. The Häagen-Dazs/Creative Time Booth #L821 will be located on Pier 88, 48th Street at the Hudson River. It will run from March 7 – 9, Noon to 8 p.m. and March 10, Noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $15.
