The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is a not-for-profit collective of professionals working with contemporary art. To date, our initiatives have succeeded on two fronts: making the contemporary arts more accessible for the general public, and creating opportunities that nurture the growth of emerging artists, curators, and galleries. The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Art Fair was established in an effort to further pursue these initiatives and to present an alternative opportunity for exploring new or underexposed art that is not typical of the art establishment.

This will be NADA’s 5th edition of the fair in Miami. Featuring 86 emerging art galleries from 20 countries around the world, the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Art Fair is renowned for its diverse, high quality group of exhibitors. This year’s schedule begins on Tuesday, December 4, with the opening night preview benefit for The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York from 4-9 p.m. We are especially excited this year as the New Museum reopens to the public on December 1 at 235 Bowery, NYC. To help celebrate, gallery.sora., in conjunction with the New Museum and NADA, present a live performance by artist ken kagami and the avant-garde, musical group, Deerhoof. This special performance will begin at 8:30 p.m. during the opening night preview. Individual tickets for the preview benefit are available to purchase online at http://www.newmuseum.org or at the door. The fair will then be open and free to the public from Wednesday, December 5 to Saturday, December 8, 11 a.m.-7 p
..m. and Sunday, December 9, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Everyone, all over the world, is invited to take part in the action Bendati/Blindfolded from wherever they happen to be, at the same time.

Participants are asked to remain blindfolded for one hour.

This is to identify with the state of mind of Luigi, who, for over a year now, has had trouble with his eyesight. He must remain in complete darkness, or keep his eyes closed for long periods of time.

Those contributing are free to stay still or move, do something or not, work or rest. Participants are also invited to identify with Luigi’s condition and simply experience the loss of sight for an hour.

After the performance impressions can be posted on http://forgottensculptors.blogspot.com a space where analogies, coincidences, and individual thoughts may appear; where images and voices seen or heard during the action can find an echo.
