On a sweltering afternoon in late June, gallerygoers, undeterred by the weather, were popping in and out of the art spaces that dot Manhattan’s Lower East Side. It would not have been an unusual sight—galleries tend to coordinate their openings—except for the silver-sheened sheets of paper the people carried. Those sheets were maps directing them to exhibitions imported from cities around the world—Hong Kong, London, Dubai, Tokyo, Chicago, Glasgow, and Auckland, New Zealand, among them.
