The
New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is pleased to present the 5th edition
of the NADA Art Fair in Miami. Featuring 86 emerging art galleries from
20 countries, the NADA Art Fair is renowned for its diverse, high quality
group of exhibitors as well as its unique atmosphere in the vast sound
stages and gardens of the Ice Palace Studios, where the fair has been
held since it made the pioneering move in 2004. The fair is open and free
to the public from Wednesday, December 5 to Saturday, December 8, 11 a.m.-7
p.m. and Sunday, December 9, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Shuttle service will be available
from South Beach to the Ice Palace for the duration of the fair and the
Opening Night Preview.
This year's schedule begins on Tuesday, December 4th at 4 pm, with a first look preview that will again benefit The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York. This event is further a celebration of the December 1st public opening of the New Museum's new building by cutting-edge, Tokyo-based architects Sejima + Nishizawa/SANAA at 235 Bowery, New York. Join us at the preview for a first look at the some of the most exciting emerging art being made today and a complimentary Grolsch Swingtop beer.
Directly following the fair's preview at 8:30 pm, gallery.sora. in conjunction with the New Museum and NADA, will present a very special live performance by artist Ken Kagami and the avant-garde, musical group, Deerhoof. Having toured with bands including Radiohead and Wilco, Deerhoof is renowned for their innovative sound, acclaimed by Rolling Stone Magazine as "magical art rock." Individual tickets for the preview benefit and concert are available to purchase online at www.newmuseum.org, or at the door.
Maintaining NADA's commitment to showing the freshest and most exciting emerging artists, one third of this year's exhibitors are new to the fair including Ancient Modern from London, Rodeo Gallery from Istanbul, Hunt Kastner Artworks from Prague and James Fuentes from New York. The 2007 fair will also be distinguished by the extensive number of solo artist booths such as Laura Lancaster with Workplace Gallery, Gateshead, UK; Soju Tao with Take Ninagawa, Tokyo; Matthew Day Jackson with Ballroom Marfa, Marfa TX; Wilfredo Prieto with Galerie Martin Van Zomeren, Amsterdam; Swetlana Heger with Galerie Frank Elbaz, Paris; Amanda Ross-Ho with Cherry and Martin, Los Angeles; Ahmet Ogut with Rodeo Gallery, Istanbul; and from New York: Olga Chernysheva with Foxy Production; Kamrooz Aram with Oliver Kamm/5BE Gallery; Chris Lipomi with Renwick Gallery; Michael Jones McKean with Sunday L.E.S.; and Mike Womack with ZieherSmith.
For the first time, the outdoor area of the NADA Art Fair will feature a tent housing an expanded publication section, including an array of art periodicals as well as emerging presses, editions, and journals. See below for complete list of exhibitors and publications.
The tented area will also feature Blank Canvas: The Art Exhibit, presented by 7 For All Mankind, the leader in luxury denim in partnership with Conde Nast Media Group and the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA). This distinctive collaboration between the denim brand and a group of artists from around the world will be unveiled for the first time at the NADA Art Fair. The curator of this exhibit is NADA member Sarah Gavlak, owner of the Gavlak Gallery in West Palm Beach. Gavlak selected a talented assemblage of contemporary artists including Lisa Anne Auerbach, Carolyn Carr, Jim Drain, Philip Estlund, Ruth Laskey, Dean Sameshima, and Shinique Smith. Each artist has merged the fashion and functionality of denim with their chosen artistic medium, creating something unexpectedly fresh and cutting edge.
The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is a not-for-profit collective of professionals working with contemporary art. To date, our initiatives have succeeded on two fronts: making the contemporary arts more accessible for the general public, and creating opportunities that nurture the growth of emerging artists, curators, and galleries. The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Art Fair was established in an effort to further pursue these initiatives and to present an alternative opportunity for exploring new or underexposed art that is not typical of the art establishment. The NADA Fair catalog will be available on site and is made possible and sponsored by New American Paintings/Open Studios Press.
