If people were complaining that The Independent was a scene with its cooler-than-thou veneer of globalization and slightly aloof exhibitors and audience, than they probably hadn’t seen The Dependent art fair, which was the dictionary definition of “art scene.” For four hours on a Friday night, two floors of the Four Points Sheraton hotel on West 25th St was transformed into an art fair for 16 galleries from near and far. These staples of the downtown scene staged their own hotel room fair as if to seemingly to prove how much they could pack two floors of this non-descript Chelsea hotel.
