We are excited to share that Dorian Reid is included in this year’s NADA New York 2024, now represented by Kapp Kapp gallery!
NADA is pleased to present the 10th edition of NADA New York, to take place Thursday, May 2nd through Sunday, May 5th at 548 West, located at 548 West 22nd Street in West Chelsea’s gallery district.
"The show began as I was thinking about those stories of orcas that have been inexplicably linked to the destruction and sinking of boats across the Mediterranean. Perhaps this fascination stems from the unpredictability and raw defiance embodied by these aquatic mammals – baffling occurrences that stand in heavy contrast to humans’ ever-quickening technological advancements and rapid domestication and degradation of our shared environment. As an exhibition, BEASTIES ruminates on artists and artworks that mirror the spirit of these orcas, eschewing docile natures and tame-ability for wildness and unknowability."
Work with NIAD's prolific portrait makers - Shawn Sanders and Dorian Reid - to create your own animal portrait using still life of stuffed animals and photos.
Join us during Richmond Open Studios on August 17th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM for a Public Art Workshop hosted by Dorian in NIAD’s 23rd Street Gallery. NIAD artist and curator Dorian Reid will convene voices from Richmond’s community around themes of water, animals, and music to create a collaborative design for cut-metal panel work across NIAD’s building, fence and courtyard gate. Participants can make artwork for submission and possible inclusion in this public arts project as well as in a Spring 2025 exhibition at NIAD that will feature the unveiling of images of the final design and individual participant drawings. All are welcome!
