THE ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK

In this newsletter we re-connect with artists, designers, and galleries, highlighting the spirit of collaboration. This week we re-connect with artist Shantell Martin on her most recent projects. We take you behind the scenes with Hannah Strickland, designer and creative mind behind VOLTA's redesign and new brand identity. Ahead of the official opening next week, we preview Galerie Heike Strelow's upcoming exhibition Essential Reduction in Frankfurt, a group show featuring new works by several VOLTA artists. And as always, we keep you up-to-date with more local exhibitions at VOLTA galleries internationally. Enjoy!

I think there is so much to explore in so many different areas, and when you collaborate you get the opportunity to learn from your collaborators, in mediums that might not generally be within your comfort zone." — Shantell Martin We are thrilled to re-connect with artist Shantell Martin, who has been featured multiple times over the past decade at our sister fair PULSE. Read the interview between Shantell and Kamiar to catch up with her most recent projects.

"Essential Reduction" focuses on the power and poetry that lies in concentrating on its essence." Whether intended or desired or not, we are in a time where reduction plays a central role. But reduction does not only mean renunciation, rather it has its own power and poetry. Since the beginning of the 20th century, this insight has encouraged many artists to concentrate on essential questions in their work, and in both modern and contemporary art movements, the concept of reduction has had a key role. The exhibition Essential Reduction will be on view November 13, 2020 – January 30, 2021. For interest in acquiring an artwork, please visit the VOLTA website and inquire via the online for. VOLTA will connect you directly with the presenting gallery.

VOLTA VOICES: KAMIAR INTERVIEWS HANNAH STRICKLAND

Hannah Strickland, Designer "Relentless Enthusiasm" "Redesigning the VOLTA brand was an absolute dream come true, but at the same time I was filled with fear knowing the incredible calibre of artists that are represented at the fairs — how on earth was I ever going to do justice to such a brilliant brand? The good news was that the VOLTA team were so invested in making the new brand a success." — Hannah Strickland Earlier this year, the VOLTA team worked on a new design for the fairs in New York, Basel and Miami. Read Kamiar's interview with Hannah Strickland, the creative mind behind the fair's new brand identity.
