81 Leonard Gallery, New York, NY

Booth R2

‍

‍

The works of Nancy Pantirer, Francine Tint, Alison Kruvant, and Farangiz Yusupova demonstrate that abstraction is a shared language that persists across time. While contemporary discourse often emphasizes generational divides, this exhibition highlights continuities and shifting perspectives through an intergenerational dialogue between four women artists whose practices are influenced by the energy of the city and whose varied career trajectories embody the ethos of 81 Leonard Gallery’s mission as an intergenerational artist-run space.

Blumka Contemporary, New York, NY

Booth U5

‍

‍

Through allegorical botanical painting, Karl Orion dissolves the often rigid boundaries imposed between humanity and the natural world, offering spaces of reflection, refuge, and emotional recalibration. Each painting emerges from a unified imagined realm developed over many years, where plant forms act as metaphors for the human body and psyche. These botanicals are not illustrations of nature but mirrors, inviting viewers to recognize themselves within structures of growth, fragility, adaptation, and decay.

‍

BolsterArts, New York, NY

Booth T6

‍

‍

BolsterArts is pleased to present A Conditional Sky, bringing together oil paintings by Chris Cortez and Ali Sutton. Across distinct bodies of work, both artists treat atmosphere as an affective register, tracing how interior life is negotiated under conditions of stability and care. Cortez’s "Bajo la Misma Luna" is a series of sky paintings derived from an ongoing archive of photographs she collects while traveling to her family hometown, Joaquín Camaño, Mexico. Sutton’s psychologically charged figurative paintings inhabit mythic environments that echo the fever of intrusive thought and the entanglement of narratives we cannot escape.

‍

‍

Collective Z, New York, NY

Booth F16

‍

‍

Collective Z presents Marina Chisty and Alex Z. Wang — two painters whose works ask you to slow down and stay. Working in pigment powder and oil respectively, both artists make quietness legible: not as absence, but as an invitation inward. The booth holds a single sustained atmosphere, where stillness accumulates into emotion.

‍

‍

‍

COURT TREE COLLECTIVE, Brooklyn, NY

Booth F6

‍

‍

Court Tree Collective is pleased to present a new series by the artist Isolina Minjeong. Red Earth Love Song presents ten terracotta sculptures, each under two feet tall, arranged in a single horizontal line. The series draws from funerary sculptures in ancient Korea and Peru, regions connected to the artist’s family history, where hand-built figures served as guardians and markers of passage. Rather than replicate these influences, Isolina reinterprets gods and animals through her affinity for cartoon imagery and character design.

‍

‍

Criss Collaborations, New York, NY

Booth F5

‍

‍

In this presentation, Lesley Bodzy’s work centers on the capacity of material to give form to psychological experience. Her paintings translate interior states into physical presence, allowing the viscosity, drag, and resistance of paint to shape each composition so that emotion is not illustrated but embodied on the surface.

‍

‍

‍

D.D.D.D, New York, NY

Booth R14

‍

‍

D. D. D. D. is pleased to exhibit a solo presentation of paintings by Chicago-based artist Catherine Birk for Future Fair 2026. Birk’s colorful abstract paintings engage playfully with materials of substance such as wax, netting, and silicone in order to distort and ultimately transform initially schematic images into something both constructed and naturally arrived.

‍

‍

Elijah Wheat Showroom, Beacon, NY

Booth T8

‍

‍

Intimacy, sexuality, ecstatic beauty, and the exploration of otherness are central to Tavacol’s art. He juxtaposes materials like jockstraps, gag-balls, drains, bondage gear and shower/locker-room/pool tiles to express his point of view: Hiding, strapped, ‘masque,’ down-low of athletes being undercover amongst their jocular peers. This 'clean' presentation from Elijah Wheat & Tavacol is entitled Strapped—offering a play of words entailing multiple meanings in the materials used by Tavacol, as well as gay slang.

‍

‍

‍

Elza Kayal Gallery, New York, NY

Booth F3

‍

‍

This application brings together the work of Lauren Cline and Pat Lay to examine two fundamental conditions shaping contemporary life: the domestic sphere and technological systems. Rooted in everyday experience rather than theory, their practices address how meaning is produced within spaces we inhabit daily—homes, bodies, and increasingly, digital environments. Together, Cline and Lay present an intergenerational dialogue between care and systems, intimacy and structure—offering a grounded reflection on how contemporary life is shaped both by the spaces we tend and the technologies we live within.

‍

‍

‍

The Empty Circle, New York, NY

Booth U9

‍

‍

The Empty Circle presents a duo booth of Daniel Kukla and Catherine Webb, bringing two distinct practices into conversation around ecology, care, and the ways we live with environmental change. Kukla’s installation features butterfly specimens whose wings are incised with intricate patterns, shifting them into an uneasy space between scientific record and decorative surface. In parallel, Webb debuts new oil paintings that move between intimate portraiture, abstract expressionism, and landscape.

‍

‍

‍

Exhibition A, New York, NY

Booth E10

‍

‍

Exhibition A collaborates with today's most exciting artists to create limited editions and original series of work, operating at the precise intersection where accessibility meets institutional quality. Artists like Sophia Heymans, Devra Fox, Emily Ludwig Schaffer, Joani Tremblay, Jen Hitchings, Katherine Bernhardt, Sally Kindberg, and Yesiyu Zhao present carefully edition-controlled works that, together, offer a direct pathway into collecting great work.

‍

‍

‍

Good Naked, New York, NY

Booth T7

‍

‍

This presentation brings together the work of artists David McDonough and Carl Durkow, exploring the relationship between the seen and the felt. McDonough approaches the unseen from a microscopic level, giving form to quasi-psychedelic memories of beguiling organic forms. Durkow focuses on making distinctive, often anthropomorphic domestic objects to be lived with and cared for. The forms in each opus are unconstrained by certitude, happily following the meandering and sometimes hallucinogenic path of nature.

‍

‍

‍

Harsh Collective, New York, NY

Booth F17

‍

‍

In bending the limits of their mediums, Kayla Dantz and Rania Kadafour remind viewers of the importance of recognizing intersectionality and holding multiple truths. Dantz uses both archival and original photographs in her practice, which she prints on fabric, dissecting the images into strips and hand-weaving them back together. Kadafour stretches her soft relief sculptures, suggesting a balance between painting, sculpture, and fiber art. The abstraction of her subjects contributes to the balance between openness and privacy in her practice.

‍

‍

‍

Jakupsil, New York, NY

Booth T3

‍

‍

Jakupsil is pleased to present TRACE, featuring works by two painters, Anikoon from Korea and Adam Handler from New York. Through expressive oil stick and brushstrokes, these two artists explore corporeal and incorporeal vestiges that define existence—marks inscribed upon bodies, spaces, memories, and psyches. In an era shaped by displacement and digital mediation, they invite viewers to confront marginalized narratives and forgotten emotional landscapes.

‍

‍

‍

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, New York, NY

Booth E4

‍

‍

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts features three abstract artists: Fran Shalom, Allyson Strafella, and Zuriel Waters. These artists exemplify the gallery’s core focus on abstraction that emphasizes color, texture, and an inventive process. Strafella’s minimal drawings have rich surfaces that she creates with a typewriter. Shalom abstracts recognizable objects, painting many iterations before resolving a piece. Waters’ paintings toe the line of textile art whilst exuding animated personality. These artists span a range of career stages and share a deep connection to NYC.

‍

‍

‍

Loft Projects, New York, NY

Booth E9

‍

‍

Elastic Realities is an all-female, salon-style group exhibition presenting emerging artists working across painting, sculpture, and artist-designed objects. The works share an interest in motion, repetition, and adaptability, forms that stretch and shift through color, line, and material. A loose reference to illustration appears through rhythm and iteration rather than narrative.

‍

‍

‍

Nancy Hoffman, New York, NY

Booth E8

‍

‍

Nancy Hoffman Gallery presents a dialogue between two artistic practices: Jody Guralnick, whose nature-inspired paintings reflect the winding patterns that lichen forms on rocks, and Joan Bankemper and Sophie Bankemper Frances, a mother/daughter team who each work on a specific aspect of the ceramic sculptures they create together. Sophie creates the biomorphic forms, more interested in their sculptural shapes and character than in creating a vessel. She hand-builds the sculptural forms intuitively, often referencing the human body, providing her mother, Joan, with richly varied surfaces on which to adorn.

‍

‍

‍

NowHere, New York, NY

Booth R13

‍

‍

Founded in 2019, NowHere focuses on artists connected to Japan who have built their practices in New York, often across time and between contexts. At the fair, we present exonemo, a Brooklyn-based Japanese artist duo. Emerging from the late-1990s, they have long explored the space between the digital and the physical, approaching randomness not as chaos but as a structure underlying both systems and perception.

‍

‍

‍

The Painting Center, New York, NY

Booth E1

‍

‍

Between Surface and Space is a group presentation by artists affiliated with The Painting Center that considers painting as a living, adaptable medium—one that continues to evolve through material experimentation, spatial engagement, and process-driven approaches. At a moment when painting is increasingly mediated by screens and circulation, this presentation insists on material presence, embodied viewing, and physical scale as critical forms of knowledge, foregrounding process, touch, and time as central to painting’s continued relevance.

‍

‍

‍

PMT Advisory, New York, NY

Booth E5

‍

‍

In a world increasingly dominated by the relentless acceleration of AI and digital turnover, Garo Hakimian’s work offers a vital counter-narrative. As an artist who has navigated the tactile, mechanical rhythm of a printing press since his youth, Hakimian embodies a unique intersection of "speed" that is psychological rather than technological. His practice—often described as a "dangerous sport" where the only certainty is mutation—rejects the polished immediacy of the digital age in favor of a visceral, physical persistence.

‍

‍

‍

Rosebud Contemporary, New York, NY

Booth U2

‍

‍

Ebenezer Singh and RJ Calabrese are two highly intuitive and inventive figurative artists, deeply aligned with the contemporary visual art landscape of New York. Signh’s oil on linen compositions are driven by luminous color and dynamic gesture, seeking to distill and reveal emotion through layered, deliberate brushwork. In contrast, Calabrese constructs multimedia assemblages on wooden boxes, creating poetic, narrative-driven miniature dramas.

‍

Salma, New York, NY

Booth R14

‍

‍

SALMA presents Singaporean-born, New York-based artist Zhi Wei Hiu. She engages with photography as a modular system of light-sensitive supports, chemical processes, and industrially manufactured apparatuses. Her photographic sculptures dissect and reconstitute this material and their attendant poetics into an idiosyncratic dialect of image-making.

‍

‍

The Spaceless Gallery, New York, NY and Paris, France

Special Project 1

‍

‍

The Spaceless Gallery is pleased to present a special project dedicated to Sophie Kitching, whose paintings unfold at the intersection of landscape, architecture, and memory. Born on the Isle of Wight and based in New York, the French-British artist approaches landscape not as a fixed image, but as an active and shifting medium shaped by movement and sensation.

‍

‍

‍

Stump Gallery, Brooklyn, NY

Booth E7

‍

‍

Hale Jones and India Sachi approach painting through radically different visual languages, yet their work arrives at a similar psychological place. Where Jones uses clarity and humor to expose the absurd violence embedded in spectacle, Sachi uses obscurity and atmosphere to resist the violence of being seen. One confronts the viewer with hyper-visibility; the other withdraws into camouflage. Together, their paintings describe two opposing strategies for surviving the same condition: a world where looking is never neutral.

‍

‍

‍

Tourné Gallery, New York, NY

Booth E3

‍

‍

Tourné Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of recent works by Madalena Negrone, building on the momentum of the recent acquisition of her large-format painting by the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome Her presentation at Future Fair further affirms Madalena Negrone’s early contributions to quantum art, a field that is increasingly shaping the contemporary art landscape.

‍

under the pale blue, Ridgewood, NY

Booth E2

‍

‍

under the pale blue brings together Adina Andrus, Mitchell Craig, and Beatriz Williams, three artists who find connection and meaning through sustained engagement with the natural world. Across ceramics and painting, their practices explore how sustained attention, ritual, memory, and environment shape personal and collective experience. In a cultural moment defined by speed and saturation, the exhibition considers nature as a site for reflection, grounding, and systems of belief.

‍

‍

‍

Vellum Projects, Brooklyn, NY

Booth F14

‍

‍

Vellum Project presents new work by Marcy Brafman, Jennifer Deppe Parker, Zoe Moldenhauer, Steven Rudin and Diana WegeI.These artists explore belief systems, which touch on religion, the supernatural, and the cosmos. In doing so these artists focus our attention on the very core that makes us human and offer us the chance of discovering something new.
