NADA Miami 2011: Emerging Galleries and Standout Installations at Deauville Hotel

The 2011 NADA Miami fair took place at the Deauville Hotel, showcasing a variety of smaller galleries and projects from both Bushwick and Europe. While some galleries chose to present solo exhibitions, group displays often lacked coherence. Øystein Aasan's paintings were featured by Lautom Gallery, which benefited from a residency at New York's International Studio and Curatorial Program. Artists such as John McAllister transitioned to the Rubell Family Collection. Clearing Gallery exhibited Harold Ancart's charcoal dust installation, who also took part in "Royal Rumble at Waffle House." Dona Nelson's paintings were highlighted by Thomas Urban Gallery, while American Contemporary displayed David Brooks' concrete animal sculptures. Dave Miko and Tom Thayer created a darkened room with projections, and Foxy Production showcased Gabriele Hartley's graphite wallpaper. The fair's layout offered a contrast to the standard displays.
