Returning to New York’s Pier 90 for its 10th anniversary edition, the Armory Week satellite fair VOLTA has announced its participating exhibitors for this year’s edition.

Taking place from March 1-5, the fair will welcome 96 galleries, non-profits, and artist-run spaces from 40 nations. Focusing primarily on solo presentations, the fair attracts participants from cities ranging from New York to Tokyo. Participation is down only slightly from last year’s fair, which featured 100 exhibitors.

In a statement, fair director Amanda Coulson highlighted the solo booth format. “We credit our loyal and longtime exhibitors and our many distinguished collecting patrons for believing in this whole ‘solo project thing’ from the get-go,” she said. “We thank our 2017 exhibiting galleries and our tremendous ‘alumni’ from the past 10 years for trusting in this ‘artist-focused’ solo format and for making VOLTA NY an inspiring force for artistic discovery during Armory Arts Week and beyond.”

First-time exhibitors include high-profile spaces such as Brooklyn’s A.I.R. Gallery, the first all female artist-run non-profit in the United States. Some of the 37 other new participants include Samuel Freeman (Los Angeles), Joshua Liner Gallery (New York), as well as Cape Town’s Barnard Galley, and Hong Kong’s Galerie Ora-Ora.

“VOLTA for us is a great fair for a lot of reasons,” a spokeswoman for Joshua Liner Gallery told artnet News on the phone, “but one of the biggest reasons—and I think a lot of the other galleries would agree—it has the unique opportunity to showcase one artist, and it gives the artist a vision and a stronger voice, and it gives the opportunity to make a big project for one artist.”

As a demonstration of the fair’s strengths, 15 participants from VOLTA’s inaugural New York edition in 2008 returned—a group of galleries that includes Michael Janssen (Berlin), Pablo’s Birthday (New York), and New Art Projects from London.

Caroline Tilleard of the New York gallery Cuevas Tilleard is among the dealers deciding not to return to VOLTA in 2017 after participating in last year’s edition. She explained that internal changes in the gallery prompted her and partner Anna Maria Cuevas to forgo VOLTA this year. “For us the decision is purely based on all we have going on at the gallery,” Tilleard told artnet News in an email. “We are currently moving spaces in New York, plus starting an artist residency program in Lamu, Kenya.”

VOLTA was founded in Basel in 2005 by dealers Kavi Gupta of Chicago, Friedrich Loock of Berlin, and Ulrich Voges of Frankfurt. The fair will hold its 13th edition in June 2017, coinciding with Art Basel.
