On May 8, The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) opened the third edition of NADA House to the public where it will remain on view through Aug. 1, every Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. As the collaborative, public exhibition returns to Governors Island, it features 66 galleries, non-profits, artist-run spaces, and curators, presenting over 100 artists in over 50 rooms in three neighboring turn-of-the-century colonial revival buildings.

Exhibiting work in a diverse range of mediums including large-scale installations, immersive environments, wall murals, and outdoor sculpture, NADA House participants engage with the unique character of the spaces. A number of artists are presenting works that directly respond to the complex history of Governors Island’s colonial, military, and political past. This will include Camille Hoffman’s False Flag, Dagnini and Alexander Shchurenkov’s Fragment, Monsieur Zohore and Sandy Williams IV’s New Release, and Alix Vernet’s Real Pain, among others.

At this year’s event, the areas surrounding the buildings exhibit NADA House’s largest presentation of outdoor works to date, including an audio presentation of sound works by six Puerto Rican contemporary artists organized by Embajada. Sculptures including Alejandro Almanza Pereda’s anonymous gallery, Tamika Rivera’s Fort Makers, Adam Parker Smith’s The Hole, John Drue Scott Worrell’s Gern en Regalia, Rachel Nelson and Erik Zajaceskowski’s secret project robot, and others will further be exhibited.

“If you want respite from the moneyed, big-name glamour of some of your larger art fairs, you can, in one little trip, leave it all behind; see some relatively untrammeled parts of New York and also revisit the way that many things in the art world begin — that is, in a D.I.Y., grass-roots situation, when people take things into their own hands,” Roberta Smith said in her article for The New York Times.

NADA also announced their new artist-designed items by Ficus Interfaith, in collaboration with Deli Gallery and Matthew Chambers, in collaboration with Bracket Creek Exhibitions for the NADA Shop Artist Editions.
