Miami Beach, FL – April 8, 2025 - This December, Untitled Art returns to the sands of Miami Beach for its 14th edition, set to take place from Wednesday, December 3 to Sunday, December 7, with a VIP and Press Preview on Tuesday, December 2. The fair will also debut in Houston, TX, with its inaugural edition from September 19 through September 21 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, offering a newly created destination for contemporary art in the region.
With a strong foundation as a curatorial platform that champions artistic voices in an evolving art market, Untitled Art has collaborated over the years with a dynamic curatorial team alongside a committee of leading industry experts. This collaboration enhances and amplifies the fair’s mission, ensuring a selection process rooted in curatorial integrity, global reach, and visibility for underrepresented artistic voices. For the 2025 edition of Miami Beach, Untitled Art is thrilled to welcome Petra Cortright, Allison Glenn, and Jonny Tanna with Harlesden High Street as Guest Curators, who will bring their unique expertise to guide this year’s sectors, respectively.
In its ongoing mission to further support artists, the fair will debut a new sector dedicated to one-person presentations, curated by interdisciplinary artist Petra Cortright, whose core practice is the creation and distribution of digital and physical images using consumer or corporate software. The ‘Artist Spotlight’ initiative provides galleries with a platform to showcase both emerging and established artists, allowing them to highlight specific bodies of work and offering an in-depth focus on their practices. In curating the inaugural sector, Cortright intends to bring visibility to artistic practices that are vital to contemporary life yet often underrepresented in the context of art fairs highlighting digital culture and outsider art.
Allison Glenn, Artistic Director of The Shepherd, Detroit, MI, and recently appointed as the Curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art, will guide the fair’s Special Projects sector. This sector welcomes site-specific installations and ambitious projects by artists from around the globe. Spread throughout the fairgrounds, it offers a dynamic approach, inviting exhibitors, organizations, and artists to activate presentations beyond their booths, with an emphasis on both historical and emerging perspectives. “As part of an ongoing interest in the enduring relationships we have with water, this year’s Special Projects sector will consider how artists engage with its many manifestations, including water as a connector, water networks, water as a natural resource, the impacts of climate change and industry on this resource, and water as a medium, material, methodology, and conceptual link,” notes Glenn.
'Nest' returns this year as a newly created section, continuing Untitled Art’s commitment to supporting emerging artists, young galleries, and non-profit organizations. This year’s section will be curated by Jonny Tanna, founder and director of Harlesden High Street and co-founder of Minor Attractions in London, UK. Tanna will bring a curatorial voice rooted in an experimental focus that bridges social and cultural gaps in contemporary art. ‘Nest’ provides an invitation-only platform supported by the fair that counters the traditional barriers to art fair participation and encourages greater experimentation within the art fair landscape.
“We are excited to welcome this year's curators, who will expand the fair's established curatorial platform by bringing diverse voices from across all disciplines, reshaping the critical role that art fairs play in the contemporary art industry,” notes Clara Andrade Pereira, Untitled Art's Executive Director.
The 14th edition of the fair will continue to host critical and educational programming, including a robust on-site podcast series featuring leading industry experts and artists, performances, and the Untitled Edit, a series of commissioned essays advancing art criticism and cultivating the next generation of writers. In addition to the fairs week, Untitled Art will continue its year-round programming through VIP weekends and activations across the country. By placing artists at the forefront of every fair section, Untitled Art will reaffirm its commitment to shaping a more inclusive and artist-driven future in the contemporary art market.
Petra Cortright
Petra Cortright’s core practice is the creation and distribution of digital and physical images using consumer or corporate software. She became renowned for making self-portrait videos that use her computer’s webcam and default effects tools, which she would then upload to YouTube and caption with spam text. Cortright’s paintings on aluminum, linen, paper, or acrylic are created in Photoshop using painting software and appropriated images, icons, and marks. The digital files are endlessly modifiable, but at a “decisive moment,” they are translated into two-dimensional objects. They become finite, yet their range of motifs and marks and their disorienting perspectives and dimensions suggest a dynamic change. Cortright lives and works in Altadena, CA. Her works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), The Péréz Art Museum (Miami), The Bass Museum (Miami), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles), Moderna Museet (Stockholm), MCA Chicago, and Kadist Foundation (San Francisco), among others. Upcoming presentations include Art Basel’s Unlimited sector with Société (Berlin), alongside an institutional exhibition at Zeughaus (Berlin).
Allison Glenn
Allison Glenn is a New York-based curator and writer focusing on the intersection of art and public space through public art and special projects, biennials, and major new commissions by a wide range of contemporary artists. For over fifteen years, Glenn has been devoted to realizing ambitious and experimental exhibitions and site-specific projects with artists working across the globe. Glenn is currently the Artistic Director of The Shepherd, an arts campus in Detroit's Little Village cultural district, and Curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art.
Jonny Tanna
Jonny Tanna is a North West London native, and the director of Harlesden High Street, a working class POC led gallery space. Harlesden High Street was founded with the mission of facilitating access between experimental/outsider artists and the traditional gallery system.
