Miami art fair week kicked off on Tuesday. One of the many art fairs and exhibitions happening in the city was NADA Art Fair. NADA, the New Art Dealers Alliance, delivers what the name suggests – new, young and exciting galleries and art from as many as 19 countries. With 88 “emerging galleries” presenting, I concentrated on documenting the galleries from the Art Beat world – New York and Tokyo – but not exclusively for this report.

A hammock might be a good spot to stretch a little after lots of walking, to do 'nothing.'

Modernist work turned contemporary with a new material, cardboard. Beautiful armchair turned into an electric chair.

Mock-up of the New York waterfalls from earlier this year or mocking the waterfalls? Fruit and Flower Deli displaying the oracle, which I was told guides the gallery to and away from the fairs. It was a positive answer this time, it appears.

Aneta Glinkowska. Aneta, aka perke, was born and raised in the part of Poland where bagels and bialys allegedly come from. She did not taste either until she first arrived in NYC in her late teens. She fancies herself a photographer, moving image-maker, swimmer, writer and reader. She is hoping to be immortalized as perke in a Ryu Murakami novel, and then perhaps make a movie loosely based on it. In addition to helping run NYAB, Aneta shoots video interviews for TAB and NYAB. She is also on the lookout for gigs with NYC-based filmmakers. » See other writings

What you have listed as “Performance at Overduin and Kite Gallery” is actually a performance at Western Exhibitions.
