At NADA New York, artists Chris Beeston @chbeesty and Wyatt Bertz @wyatt_bertz are collaborating for the first time on a body of work. The duo explain their approach to working as a partnership as well as explored themes: “With this new body of work we explore an expansive view of spirituality encompassing ancient and contemporary belief systems. We constrained ourselves to a single, repeating geometric grid unit derived from a paper sculpture originally created by Beeston (Open Cell, 2015). Borrowing the surface treatment from Bertz’s recent body of kinetic light sculptures with automotive finishes and precise grids of crystal rhinestones (such as Volumetric Rhinestone Lattice #4 (Purple Spike Cube), 2026), we permuted this grid system across several sculptures that together represent a spiritual ascent.” NADA New York @newartdealers is open to the visitors through Sunday 5/17 or reach via DM for additional information. —— Purple Portal (Powerade) UV Resin, automotive paint, mirror-backed crystal rhinestones, steel hardware 7” x 7” x 7” 2026 Photo by @balaramaheller

New York-based painter Bret Slater @bretslater created one of his signature shield paintings to double as a lid for our project space. We appreciate his willingness to embrace such a unique space to explore and engage his practice with. —— Prometheus 11.5” x 11.5” Acrylic on Linen 2026

It wouldn’t be a 95 Gallon show without a sidewalk to roll up onto. We went after all of the small details to make our fair appearance extra memorable. Thanks to all of our artists for sharing a “for the love of the game” attitude while it came together. If you make your way to NADA @newartdealers this week say hi to us in booth F13. More documentation to come! @chbeesty @wyatt_bertz @grem.jpg @marsgraziano @bretslater

Inside New York’s Rogue Project Spaces 👾👾 A group of provacateurs who are working within and against the limitations of the city’s pressurized real-estate market are our first digital cover stars. Trash bins, moving trucks, bodegas, laundromats, party buses, and cat towers double as their frontline art venues. @desnivelgallery @uhaulgallery @95gallongallery @spielzeug @catboxcontemporary “Their aporoach to exhibition making is intimate, experimental, and less mediated by institutional caution,” writes Jesse Firestone @heavymetalcurator . Visit @impulse_magazine_ or @cultbytes to read the story. “Inside New York’s Rogue Project Spaces” is co-produced by our favorite art world power couple @x_jenny_wang and @shrimp__sandwich 💕 📸 @low.rez.cloak #jointdigitalcover #newyork
