The ninth New York edition of the Volta art fair will feature 100 exhibitors from cities ranging from New York to Osaka, Los Angeles to Nairobi. Taking place March 2-6 at Pier 90 on the Hudson River, neighboring the Armory Show, the fair focuses primarily on solo presentations and includes galleries, nonprofits, and artist-run spaces from 43 countries.

Among the first-time exhibitors are Hverfisgalleri, from Reykjavik (showing Shoplifter), Hafez Gallery, from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (featuring Mohammed Al Ghamdi and Ibrahim El Dessouki), and Nunu Fine Art, from Taipei (exhibiting Che-Yu Hsu). Two-thirds of the exhibitors are returning.

New at the fair this year will be a 30-foot video wall near the entrance, which will screen works by artists including Sonny Sanjay Vadgama, Diane Nerwen, and Spanish duo Aggtelek.

New York-based artist Derrick Adams is curating a show called “Something I Can Feel,” which features eight “emerging and under-the-radar artists.” The lineup for Adams’ show: Ibrahim Ahmed (presented by Gallery Nosco, London), Leonardo Benzant and Kate Clark (both presented by Dexter Wimberly Projects, Brooklyn), Brandon Coley Cox (presented by Rush Art Gallery, Brooklyn), Doreen Garner (presented by Cindy Rucker Gallery, New York), Hugh Hayden (presented by Postmasters Gallery, New York), Shaun Leonardo (co-presented by BRIC and Mighty Tanaka, Brooklyn), and Balint Zsako (presented by The Proposition, New York).

Founded in Basel in 2005 by dealers Kavi Gupta of Chicago, Friedrich Loock of Berlin, and Ulrich Voges of Frankfurt, Volta will hold its twelfth Swiss edition in June 2016, coinciding with Art Basel.
