The Best Booths at NADA New York, From Whimsical Sculptures to Tar Paintings

Founded in 2023, Mexico City’s Naranjo 141 has a model that exists somewhere between a gallery and a residency program. For its first presentation at NADA New York, it brought works from one of its most recent residents, Pauline Shaw, who considers the nature of scientific inquiry, the natural world, and the tension between perception and truth.

According to the gallery, after Shaw learned that much outer-space imagery is colorized by NASA scientists and researchers, she decided to reinterpret the publicly available images through her own imagined palette. In these works created during her residency, Shaw reimagines Jupiter and its moons through fiber works streaked with rich color and inset with silk “scars.”
