The effects of fractured political systems are looming themes at Armory week satellite fairs geared toward younger dealers and artists. At Volta, running 1-5 March at Pier 90, the centerpiece is a curated section, organised by the Brooklyn-based curator Wendy Vogel. Titled Your Body is a Battleground after the famous Barbara Kruger photomontage, created on the occasion of the 1989 Women’s March on Washington, the mini-exhibition comprises works by eight artists dealing with the idea of resistance, including a colossal installation titled PATRIOT (2017) by the Kentucky-based artist Melissa Vandenberg that spells out its title with sewn and stuffed surplus military fabric.

This year’s edition of Untitled, Miami Beach (30 November-4 December)—a major satellite fair that runs concurrently with Art Basel in Miami Beach—will feature a number of special artist projects from the likes of Rirkrit Tiravanija and Tomas Vu, along with a collaboration with Miami’s Institute of Contemporary Art.

The biggest collaborations are surfing-based, a fitting theme for a beach town, though it should be said: Miami is not known for its waves, nor its surfing culture. Tiravanija and Vu will present RT TV Boards in collaboration with Nathalie Karg Gallery: an installation that includes a number of different elements including surfboards with Beatles lyrics and a t-shirt silkscreening stand staffed by MFA candidates from Columbia University, where Tiravanija teaches. There will also be a number of Pussy Riot-inspired surfboards that attendees can borrow, and a shower for rinsing off later.
