Miami Art Fairs 2011 : NADA

4 Dec

NADA  - New Art Dealers Alliance – Fair is always such a pleasure to attend.  Of all the hotel based fairs, NADA does it right at the gorgeous deco Deauville Beach Resort.  As opposed to maze like cubes and harsh fluorescent lights, NADA’s spiraling floor design and the lustrous chandeliers create a flowing path which is the most pleasurable way to navigate through any fair.

The art program is fun and edgy – New Art dealers assemble to bring forward the youngest and brightest new gallerists.

Loved this installation at American Contemporary Gallery, metallic paintings at Studio Voltaire.

Ryan Foerster at Ribordy Contemporary, series of paintings at Recess, Yamini Nayer photos at Thomas Erben Gallery.

Dynamic photo montages at Clifton Benevento by Martin Soto Climent, dark electric photos at Fitzroy Gallery.

John Hiltunen characateur montages at Creative Growth, the narrative book series at MKG127, painting by John Sparagana at Corbett vs Dempsey. 

Best curated booths go to Curro & Poncho, and Cumulus Studio‘s installation.

Compellingly strange works at Kate Werble whose booth was wrapped in trash bags, Country Club, and Hole Gallery.

NADA Fair Miami

24 Dec

NADA, the New Art Dealers Alliance Fair, was one of the most pleasurable fairs to visit. The hammocks and lush green space surrounding the tents complimented the light humoured mood of the fair. NADA is a fair which encourages and promotes New Art Dealers and emerging innovative artists.


Some works I enjoyed James Bonachea’s organized randomness and Ariel Orozco’s reworking of unexpected colour at Myto Gallery, and Scott Treleaven pensive collage at Kavigupta Gallery.
NADA showed a raw and youthful and extrodinary progressive art. It is always an adrenalyn fueled pleasure to see booth after booth of innovation and new novel art works. Honorable mention going to ATM Gallery, Katrin Sigurdardottir at Eleven Rivington, Robert Mann Gallery, and Loretta Lux at Torch Gallery.
I saw this painting with the magnifying glass hung beside it….. If you saw Charlie Kaufman’s film Synecdoche, New York, you couldn’t help but making the reference to the protagonist’s artist wife who creates microscopic paintings which are viewed during a massive retropective assisted by magnification goggles.
