NADA MIAMI 2025
CURATED SPOTLIGHT & GALLERIES
12/02/25 - 12/06/25
Spill 180 participated in NADA Miami 2025 with two adjoining presentations at Ice Palace Studios: TD Bank Curated Spotlight with Marissa Delano (Booth C112) and the Galleries section with works by Creighton Baxter, Dana Karwas, Agnes Walden, and Rachel Wolf (Booth C113).
Selected by curator Kate Wong for Curated Spotlight, Spill 180 was presented as a gallery expanding support for artists beyond exhibition-making into publishing, research, and community infrastructure. Delano’s presentation considered the female body as a site where social meaning is written and rewritten, using engraved mirrors and photographic tableaux to fold domestic space, pornography, and adolescent decor into the same charged field.
In the main Galleries section, Baxter, Karwas, Walden, and Wolf—each of whom has exhibited at Spill 180 since the gallery opened—approached the body and built environment as porous, interdependent systems through drawing, glass, mirror, and relief, extending the gallery’s ongoing interest in perception and architectural embodiment. The booth was designed by Grace Caizazza, a designer, artist, exhibition maker, attention historian (/ mythologizer), and writer.
Spill 180 also participated in ECOLOGIES, NADA’s new talks program developed with Knight Foundation, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and CULTURED, which examined the infrastructures that sustain contemporary art and its publics. This context underscored Spill 180’s role as a research-driven, community-oriented space in which exhibition-making, publishing, and pedagogy operate as connected ecologies.
NADA Miami 2025 marked Spill 180’s art fair debut (following 10 exhibitions, various events/activations in the gallery since opening in August 2024, as well as participation in the inaugural Art in General Benefit and the inaugural Split Level Fair) , with dual booths affirming its commitment to highlighting artists whose practices engage structural, spatial, and social questions with rigor and care.
