Descripción de la Exposición

VOLTA NY is cranking it up with a new location at Pier 90 in New York's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. The fair will be held during Armory Arts Week from Thursday, March 5, through Sunday, March 8. "Having celebrated our tenth anniversary in Basel by moving to a more mature and central venue, we felt that in New York it was also time to take the platform up a notch," enthused VOLTA Artistic Director Amanda Coulson. "I'm more than excited to announce that VOLTA NY is settling in comfortably alongside its sister fair into the more established and accessible venue of Pier 90, leveling the playing field and giving our galleries even better visibility and access to the crossover crowds already attending both fairs. As the scrappy baby in the family, however, we intend to maintain our different vision for presentations and layout and bring the inimitable VOLTA flair to the venue." The new venue positions VOLTA NY adjacent to The Armory Show, its sister fair and the focal point of Armory Arts Week. Moving to Pier 90 energizes a synergy between both fairs while retaining VOLTA NY's distinctive identity as New York's established showcase for new and salient contemporary art positions within a curated, solo-project format-the foundation of VOLTA's mission since its 2008 stateside debut. Single-artist booths functioning more closely to proper exhibitions rather than traditional art-fair presentations proliferate the contemporary art fair scene, from Independent Projects, the November edition of New York's Independent art fair, to Frieze's Focus section and solo sections at such international fairs as Art Brussels and ARCO Madrid. VOLTA NY has made solo projects its mandate and foundation from its inception in 2008, and indeed the original VOLTA Basel fair continues to expand solo-artist projects within its overall curated booth backdrop. In both settings, at New York's Pier 90 and Basel's Markthalle, VOLTA endeavors to refocus the art fair experience back to its most fundamental point: the art itself.
