VOLTA New York launched in March 2008 as a satellite fair of the long-running Armory Show. This year, VOLTA will once again be in alignment with Frieze art fair, presenting galleries from over 18 countries. VOLTA’s focus on cutting-edge contemporary art encompasses several themes—among them, science and nature—from galleries with a wide-ranging international perspective.

Barcelona-based Out of Africa (OOA) Gallery champions work by contemporary African artists. Their presentation will highlight work by Oluwole Omofemi, Matthew Eguavoen, Médéric Turay, and Moses Zibor. These artists, part of a young, dynamic generation of global African diasporans, showcase African pride, tradition, and culture in their practice.

At SEIZAN Gallery (New York/Tokyo), Japanese artist Motohide Takami revisits cultural legacy and collective trauma. The Great Earthquake of 2011 occurred during the artist’s time as a graduate student at Tohoku University of Art in Yamagata. The disaster and its aftermath became a signature trope in his oil paintings. A recurring image of flames by the riverside refers to the Japanese expression “fire on the other side of the river,” meaning something is someone else’s business. This motif underscores human disinterest in tragic events that do not directly impact you, ever pertinent in today’s world.

Venezuelan artist Starsky Brines, presented by the Frankfurt-based Galerie Heike Strelow, explores identity through personal biographical iconography. His anthropomorphic characters are influenced by his

domestic life with his mother, who crafted colorful puppets for Caribbean carnivals. He pairs this visual language with an art historical knowledge of Latin American figurative art, German Neo-Expressionism, the Italian Transavantgarde, and the CoBrA group to create paintings that oscillate between abstract and figurative.

Korean artist Vlad Ogay is inspired by his time spent studying theater in Russia. His “readymade” practice involves collaging together objects and artifacts from everyday life. His works will be presented at VOLTA by the Latvian gallery CUT ART.  A multi-disciplinary artist, Ogay has received prestigious awards in Venice and Cannes for his film projects and is preparing for his first solo show, to be curated by Gianluca Marziani (a consulting curator of the 2011 Venice Biennale and Banksy’s biographer).

Meanwhile, LAMINAProject present a series of collage-based works by New York artist Jody Rasch that explore radio astronomy, a sub-genre of astronomy specializing in celestial objects at radio frequencies.

Artist Natalie Collette Wood has a different take on the organic in her elusive assemblages and layered paintings of fantastical forms. The artist’s work will be presented by Vellum Projects. Among works by five artists exploring topics of mythology, popular culture, environmental activism, and conservation, Wood’s pieces are a particular highlight.

The origin of the name of VOLTA denotes a turn of thought or an inflection point. The fair distinguishes itself in the marketplace with its commitment to creating an environment of discovery for art collectors, with this intention precisely guiding its curation. VOLTA serves as the platform for ambitious international galleries to enter the global art markets of New York and Basel. In turn, the fair offers both burgeoning and established collectors a place to discover the art of now, to grow their collection, and ultimately to connect with and support new talent.

Beyond stand-out group presentations, 14 galleries will feature solo exhibitions at the fair. Among these highlights are: the South Korean Gallery Bhak presenting work by artist Yissho, (AV17) Gallery presenting sculptures by Lithuanian artist Mindaugas Junčys, Catalysta Gallery presenting artworks by Dominican artist Manuel Mera, and Stone Step Gallery presenting Irish artist Paul Hughes.

United by the healing power of creativity, VOLTA New York will collaborate with non-profit partner Fashion Fights Cancer to host an art auction and fashion fundraising event on Thursday, May 18, from 6 to 9 PM, co-hosted by New York Fashion Week’s Fern Mallis and Gary Wassner, CEO of Hilldun Corporation.

The full exhibitor list is available at this link. VOLTA New York is on view May 17-21 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea.

VOLTA New York is followed by VOLTA Basel (June 12-18) at Klybeck 610, Basel, Switzerland.

Armory Week returns—though this time, technically, it’s not quite one week. In fact, it’s two weeks this year, with the ADAA Art Show opening to the public on Wednesday and most other fairs following suit next week. Below, a guide to this year’s fairs.

The ADAA Art Show
February 27–March 4
Unlike in past years, the ADAA Art Show will open a week before the Armory Show. At its usual venue, the Park Avenue Armory, 72 dealers will present works by modern and contemporary artists. Single-day tickets cost $25.
Hours and tickets

The Armory Show
March 8–11
In its 24th year, the fair will feature presentations from 198 international galleries, artists, and public programs on Piers 92 and 94. Now under the directorship of Nicole Berry, the fair will include a “Focus” sector organized by Minneapolis Institute of Art curator Gabriel Ritter that focuses on bodies and technology.
Information about hours can be found here; tickets here.

NADA
March 8–11
This year, the New Art Dealers Alliance’s New York fair has moved its location south, to the ground floor of Skylight Clarkson Square in West SoHo. (Visitors to last year’s fair will recall that the 2017 edition took place up the street, at Skylight Clarkson North.) Some 100 exhibitors will set up shop. This year, NADA has also created a fund for Bronx Museum of the Arts curators to acquire a work from the fair for the institution’s permanent collection. Single-day tickets cost $20.
Hours and tickets

Independent New York
March 9–11
For its third year at Spring Studios on Varick Street in Tribeca, the Independent art fair, now on its ninth edition, will feature 57 exhibitors, 24 of whom are showing there for the first time. Single-day admission is $25.
Hours and tickets

Volta NY
March 8–11
Volta NY, which will be held once again at Pier 90, next door to the Armory Show, will host 85 international contemporary galleries.

General admission is $25.
Hours and tickets

Scope
March 9–11
Scope returns to the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea for its 18th iteration and will include 60 exhibitors. In its own words, the fair “continues to usher in a new vision of the contemporary art fair.” A one-day pass is $25.
Hours and tickets

Art on Paper
March 8–11
This fair, held at Pier 36, features 85 exhibitors, all of whom will show work done on paper. (A small twist: the work need not necessarily be two-dimensional.) One-day tickets are $25.
Hours and tickets

Clio Art Fair
March 8–11
If you’re looking for a tonic to this week’s gallery-oriented mindset, there’s the Clio Art Fair, which shines a spotlight on artists without gallery representation. This year, it will be held at 335 West 35th Street, and as usual, it is free to the public.
Information

Spring/Break Art Show
March 6–12
This year’s theme, “Strangers Come to Town,” will unite works about migration and assimilation through a series of curated presentations.

GUILLERMO CANO/COURTESY VOLTA NY

Armory Week arrives in New York in a little more than a month, and today Volta NY shared with ARTnews the exhibitor list for its 2018 edition.

Opening on March 7 at Pier 90, adjacent to the Armory Show, which runs concurrently, Volta will feature 85 galleries from 48 cities worldwide. (The full list is below; gallery names appear in bold and are followed by the artist or artists whose work they will present.)

A bonus this year: Artist Mickalene Thomas and collector and consultant Racquel Chevremont are co-organizing the fair’s Curated Section, “The Aesthetics of Matter,” which looks at eight artists broadly working in collage: Kennedy Yanko, Christie Neptune, David Shrobe, Tomashi Jackson, Devin Morris, Troy Michie, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, and Didier William.

At an event for press earlier this week, Thomas said, “In a state of political turmoil, historically collage seems to be a language or a form of ideology that artists work within.”

The Armory Show

General admission is $47. Ticket information and hours can be found here.

Hours

SPRING/BREAK Art Show

Expect the usual melange of creations, courtesy of 150 curators and over 400 artists, all centered around the theme “BLACK MIRROR.” Entrance to the fair, located at 4 Times Square, can be found at West 43rd Street. The standard adult ticket price is $15.

The Volta NY art fair has tapped critic Wendy Vogel to organize the Curated Section of its 2017 edition. The fair will open on March 1 at Pier 90 in New York City.

Vogel’s show will be titled “Your Body Is a Battleground,” in reference to the 1989 Barbara Kruger photograph of the same name. The exhibition will occupy a 2,600-square-foot space, and Vogel will curate it in such a way that the participating artists, who have not yet been announced by Volta, can allow their work to play off the booths and projects surrounding the show.

Vogel’s writing has appeared in Flash Art, Modern Painters, and Art in America, where she was formerly an editor, and which is owned by the same parent company as ARTnews. She has also contributed to Artforum and Rhizome.

“I’m excited to work with VOLTA on the curated section of their tenth anniversary fair in New York,” Vogel said in a statement. “As a writer and independent curator, I know that art fairs are an essential aspect of the art ecosystem. . . . VOLTA has carved out a niche as a fair that is interested in experimental practices and depth.”

The action.

Below is the full exhibitor list, along with the artist—or, in a few cases, artists—whose work is being exhibited by each gallery. Galleries appear in bold.
