A+WS:
At NADA, Aeromoto and Wendy’s Subway will present A+WS, a collaboratively curated library and reading room​ designed by Tyler Polich and Hannah Wilentz​, with a specific focus on artist books, periodicals, and exhibition catalogues by Latin American publishers. In developing subject- or action-specific, idiosyncratic book pairings, A+WS reflects the resonances from library to library and from book to book, and envisions the library as a space for social and artistic practice. To extend the library’s activity as a space for engagement and dialogue, A+WS has invited artists, writers, publishers, organizers, and readers based in Mexico City, New York, and elsewhere, to contribute interventions and responses to the library collection. Wendy’s Subway is a 24-hour non-profit library and workspace located in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Aeromoto is a public lending library in Mexico City.
Eye in the Sky Hold ‘Em:
A collaboration between Melissa Brown and Where, Eyes in the Sky Hold ‘Em is an off-site, private poker lounge that will operate during NADA NY. Invited artists will wager original artworks in winner-take-all rounds of Texas Hold ‘Em. A live feed of the four-game tournament will be visible throughout the fair on a closed circuit television system installed on specially designed kiosks, which double as phone charging stations.
The closed circuit televisions system inverts the traditional casino security camera: Instead of ensuring fair play, viewers at the fair can see the players’ hands. And there’s a twist - each player will have a cellphone whose number will also be visible during the games. At any time viewers can text in tips, influencing play as anonymous spies and accomplices. The winner of each round leaves the table with an art collection created through both chance and skill.
The Poetic Act: #NADAdrift:
Course participants from BHQFU’s The Poetic Act will staging a language intervention throughout all weekend throughout the fair, writing their way through the fair’s landscape by populating the hashtag #NADAdrift on Twitter and Instagram. The result will be a long-form, collectively-authored, digital poem. All are invited to contribute.
BHQFU is New York City’s freest art school. We are a completely tuition-free learning experiment where artists work together to manifest creative, productive, resistant, useless, and demanding interactions between art and the world. BHQFU offers dozens of classes annually, stages free public programming year-round, and operates two cost-free artist studio residency programs. Come take a class with us: www.bhqfu.org.
