VOLTA NY<\/a> is the invitational fair of solo artist projects. It celebrates it\u2019s tenth anniversary this year with over 100 artists represented by galleries located in over 50 cities in 38 countries located on 5 continents. These are the artists that grabbed our attention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Faig Ahmed, Sapar Contemporary<\/a>, Booth C02<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed\u2019s hand knotted \u201ccarpets\u201d each have a glitch in them in the most beautiful way.\u00a0His works reimagine ancient crafts and create new visual boundaries by deconstructing traditions and stereotypes.<\/p>\n

2. Lauren Fensterstock, Claire Oliver Gallery<\/a>, Booth D04<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> We have recently wrote\u00a0about Lauren Fenterstock\u2019s<\/a> elegant black mirrors and you must see them in person.\u00a0Fensterstock presents an opportunity to look out, beyond, and within.<\/p>\n

3. Martin Klimas, Foley Gallery<\/a>, Booth C11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> Martin Klimas\u2019 high speed photography of breaking ceramic figures are reminiscent of Muybridge. The photographs explore relationships with time, beauty and destruction. In his work with Porcelain, Klimas uses a strobe light and a single camera frame; one chance of the figurine dropping and shattering.<\/p>\n

4. E2 – Kleinveld & Julien, Jonathan Ferrara Gallery<\/a>, Booth A14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> The duo of Kleinveld and Julien\u2019s photographs reinterpret famous paintings by changing the race and sometimes the sexual orientation of the subject matter. Empathy We Trust<\/em>, presents viewers with re-imagined iconic images from the history of art. The collaborators re-envisioned the work of old master painters beginning with the Flemish Primitives and spanning nearly 600 years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Zhang Yanzi,\u00a0Ora-Ora<\/a>\u00a0Gallery, Booth A10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> Zhang Yanzi spent several week,s in residence at the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences researching for the powerful work she present this year at Volta. Her detailed ink style is a must-see in person.<\/p>\n
