Sofa / Painting
Sofa / Painting
Online
SOFA / PAINTING is a project and conversation series coordinated by three galleries for NADA Miami.
Keijsers Koning (NY, USA), Norma Mangione Gallery (Turin, Italy), and TJ Boulting (London, UK) have come together to create a virtual booth: instead of three walls, the galleries are presenting three live-feeds in which each gallery has invited their artist to think about a sofa and a corresponding artwork to hang above it.

During designated ‘fair hours’ the gallerists will be live-streamed sitting at their ‘booths’ where the sofa and artwork will be displayed. Each gallery will also present one event interacting with their corresponding artists: Jeff Grant (Keijsers Koning), Francesco Pedraglio (Norma Mangione gallery), Juno Calypso (TJ Boulting), and further engaging with a virtual audience.
Each gallery's live-feed, as well as all scheduled conversations, can be streamed live at this website.
The series will kick off with an introduction about the project by the gallerists, and conclude with an interview with Gracie Mansion and Sur Rodney Sur to discuss their experience with the original project.
Fair hours will be live-streamed daily at 10am—2pm EST (New York), 3—7 pm GMT (London), 4 —8 pm CET (Turin)
