Preview a few of the unique project spaces that you will encounter at the fair this year:

Timothy Yanick Hunter, Untitled (Polyptych), 2023 (Cooper Cole)

Untitled (Polyptych), by Timothy Yanick Hunter, presented by Cooper Cole, explores the complexities of intimacy, loss, and displacement. The work is characterized by Hunter’s repetition and remixing of the image of a smiling young couple, removed from their context in a 1970’s Ford Pinto advertisement. The posture of the couple conveys ease and joy. But with every repetition and erasure, the figures of the young, Black, car owners come to take on new meanings. Each panel becomes a possibility or intersection, as if the couple and their position in space-time are glitching.

Jannick Deslauriers, Paquebot, 2019 (Presented by Chiguer art contemporain)

Reflecting on the care, work and exploitation of bodies, Jannick Deslauriers asks questions about vulnerability, obsolescence, repair, disappearance and (re)appearance. Paquebot, presented by Chiguer art contemporain, is a sensitive consideration of our relationship with time: the material and existential transformations that result, carried as much by the symbolic charge of the objects represented as by the formal strategies.
