Coinciding with the Armory Show and its growing number of satellite fairs, Artbus will offer several tours through the different fairs and numerous special events, openings and parties scattered across New York City. During the ride, the interior of the bus will serve as an itinerant exhibition space, hosting "No future" a selection of videos by international artists, especially conceived for this space.

"No Future" reflects on the realization of a failure, being personal or political, and the consequent adjustment. These failures are of collective nature but generate individual responses that address the issue either in a humorous or dramatic way. This program will feature works by internationally acclaimed artists such as Alterazioni Video, Maria Thereza Alves, Katia Bassanini, Johanna Billing, Nemanja Cvijanovic, Cristina Lucas, Javier Núñez Gasco, Yoshua Okon, Adrian Paci, Radek Community, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jeremy Shaw and Louise Stern and is curated by Raúl Martínez and Michele Robecchi.
