VOLTA turns a lucky 13 this year, welcoming 70 galleries from 43 cities presenting the work of artists from over 50 countries. Director Amanda Coulson finds the edition (open to the public June 12—17) fortunate in number, saying of this year’s fair, “The range is really extraordinary—from Biennale participating artists to new faces—so my feeling is the fair will be both quite energizing and educational.” VOLTA will remain true to its focus on solo and dual artist booths, with highlights including Sopheap Pich (Tyler Rollins Fine Art), Peng Wei (Galerie Ora-Ora), Robert Hodge (Freight + Volume), and more. Galleries like Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporânea (Lisbon), Galleria Bianconi (Milan), Galerie T&L (Paris), and C&K Galerie (Berlin) are participating for the first time.
This year, VOLTA and GalleryLOG reunite for a new series of artist videos with Jane Benson (LMAKgallery, New York), Dennis Dawson (frosch&portmann, New York), Erika Harrsch (RoFa Projects, Potomac), and Rachel Owens (ZieherSmith, New York).
