While many were visibly (and audibly) peeved by the large crowd trying to get into the Bjork-Ragnar Kjartansson Open Forum at the Armory Show this afternoon, at least one person welcomed the sudden massing of fair-goers. Christian Eisenberger, the young Vienna-based artist whose gallery, Cologne’s Teapot, happens to be located near the entrance to the media lounge and showcasing a solo exhibition of his work at the fair. Eisenberger seized the opportunity to perform one of his packing tape mummification interventions.

As he neared the end of the performance — one that was apparently not part of the Armory’s official performance art programming — Eisenberger needed a hand completing his makeshift tape sarcophagus.
