Between Tropes and Treats at NADA New York

The 12th annual New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) fair opened at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Manhattan, featuring a wide array of contemporary works. Critic Rhea Nayyar notes that while many booths felt interchangeable due to prevalent trends like zany sculptures, shiny materials, and kitschy vibrancy, several standout pieces offered genuine engagement. Highlights include Elena Roznovan's maternal ephemera embedded in concrete with bondage tape, Kelly Tapia-Chuning's deconstructed serapes addressing colonial violence, and Niniko Morbedadze's folkloric illustrations.

"She's Like the Wind"

The article reviews "She's Like the Wind," an annual all-female group exhibition at Deep Space gallery in Jersey City, featuring works by artists Delilah Ray Miske, Leigh Cunningham, and SarahGrace. Miske's painting "Lemon Lime Toe of God" shows only a woman's leg and foot, while Cunningham's oil paintings present figures as blurred forms seen through a translucent curtain, and SarahGrace's textile works depict headless female nudes with suggestive titles like "Provoke" and "Dominate." The show marks a departure from the gallery's typically family-friendly, sex-averse programming.

Beyond the body: Jess Self’s emotive power at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art

Jess Self, a Decatur-based sculptor and educator, presents *Celestial Perspectives* at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, an immersive textile environment that explores autobiography through figurative form. The exhibition features works in resin, plaster, felted wool, fiber, and rope, including the large-scale installation *The Veil* and the compelling *She Who Ties Magic Knots*, a resin and plaster cast of the artist's pregnant torso. Self's practice draws on Jungian archetypes and spiritual traditions, and the show communicates themes of connectivity, motherhood, bodily experience, and transcendence without relying on wall text.
