Having doubled in size since the first Miami iteration in 2003, this year, the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) left its home at the Deauville Beach Resort in favor of the Fontainebleau, a more centrally located hotel in Miami Beach. Featuring a maze of galleries and in the 13th edition, the fair opened with a preview December 3rd and will be open to the public until December 5th. Stepping a bit outside the box, we asked Brooklyn based artist Zebadiah Keneally to choose his top picks at the fair which are featured below. Once again, Agathe Snow ﹣a recent review in ETTD published just this week on “Continuum“− comes in swinging with her “Since the Beginning of Time… Love Is A Battlefield”, a fabric installation, being shown in The Journal Gallery booth. Of all the art fairs, NADA has always had a consistent offering, bringing together an international roster of galleries, often shying away from the Blue Chip contenders at its sister fair, Art Basel. NADA reminds us that art can be fun and Keneally’s picks below are a manifestation of why art is also a reason to smile. ~KDH, Editor
