Today is the final day to see THIRD BORN’s presentation of Loucia Carlier in the PROJECTS section of NADA NYC (A10). The fair, located at the Starrett-Lehigh Building will be open from 11:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Works on view explore the ambivalence between imagination and conditioning, shifting away from strictly domestic interiors toward transitional environments, including waiting rooms, storefront displays, deserted commercial spaces, and sites of passage.

“Carlier molds restraint into its own register of intensity with her creations, offering a space where close looking reveals the quiet volatility embedded in the smallest gestures.” - Sam Falb, Cultured Magazine

Thank you to the amazing writers and contributors: Sam Falb (@samfalb), Paul Laster (@plasternyc), Victoria Pokovba , Heather Hubbs (@heathermhubbs), Elisa Carollo(@elisartgal), Jenny Wang (@x_jenny_wang) & Andreia Santana (@andreiaapsantana), who took the time to review this presentation.

Our love to the @newartdealers team & community 🖤

Next Week find Loucia Carlier at NADA NYC booth A10

THIRD BORN presents a solo booth by Loucia Carlier (@louciacarlier) in NADA’s Projects Section. An expansion of the artist’s series “Cheap Dreams,” developed at La Becque, Switzerland, Carlier uses the miniature as both reverie and critique, revealing how domestic objects transmit power, habit, and norms. Combining carpentry, upholstery, collage, and metalwork, Carlier builds disorienting interiors where the ordinary becomes suspect — she stages the self as both agent and captive, testing how identity is shaped within domestic space.

Behind the scenes of Anna de Castro Barbosa’s research for her residency at @french__place, concluding in the solo presentation Il Quiproquo, on view through June 28, 2026.

The exhibition emerges from Barbosa’s investigation of perception, fragmentation, and the unstable form. Evoking the folding screen and the fan, it stages concealment and revelation—images, bodies, and narratives that appear partially, slipping between recognition and ambiguity.

During the residency Barbosa advanced her work in bronze, working closely with a foundry in Verona to produce a series of fan works titled Il Quiproquo—a misunderstanding in which one thing is mistaken for another. The presentation further interrogates body, desire, and otherness, concentrating on the moment before contact where attraction and unease converge. Made from materials that both invite and resist touch and incorporating repurposed medical instruments, the threshold‑like works on view balance seduction and repulsion, framing intimacy and distance as fragile, unresolved encounters.

We are deeply grateful to Marta (@marta_orsola_sironi) and Mauro (@mauro__mattei), the entire French Place team, and Caterina Avataneo (@cateavataneo) for supporting and facilitating this residency and presentation.

OPENING NEXT WEEK!

When Things Begin to Act
Mariana Ledesma & Vytautas Kumža
A collaboration between Copperfield, London & THIRD BORN

CONDO OPENING
Thursday, April 23
12 - 8 PM

COLLECTORS PANEL & APERITIVO
Saturday, April 25
4 - 7 PM

In a moment of material excess and technological turnover, When Things Begin to Act, asks us to rethink objects as agents—active, affective, and generative. Ledesma’s repurposed circuits and sound‑electronic systems make debris and circuitry resonate, foregrounding contingency, failure, and embodied listening. Kumža’s carefully staged everyday things—fractured glass, gloves, metal frameworks—strip function to produce uncanny, emotionally charged tableaux. Together the works activate objects as sites of tension, relation, and perceptual transformation, inviting a renewed attention to the material conditions of daily life.

Vytautas Kumža

OPENING NEXT WEEK!

When Things Begin to Act
Mariana Ledesma & Vytautas Kumža
A collaboration between Copperfield, London & THIRD BORN

CONDO OPENING
Thursday, April 23
12 - 8 PM

COLLECTORS PANEL & APERITIVO
Saturday, April 25
4 - 7 PM

In a moment of material excess and technological turnover, When Things Begin to Act, asks us to rethink objects as agents—active, affective, and generative. Ledesma’s repurposed circuits and sound‑electronic systems make debris and circuitry resonate, foregrounding contingency, failure, and embodied listening. Kumža’s carefully staged everyday things—fractured glass, gloves, metal frameworks—strip function to produce uncanny, emotionally charged tableaux. Together the works activate objects as sites of tension, relation, and perceptual transformation, inviting a renewed attention to the material conditions of daily life.

“I share with THIRD BORN a love for Chicago—its architecture, its artists, its political and social histories, music, design—there’s an unmistakable materiality and way of communicating in form that I adore. I’m hyped to be there.” —Sidony O’Neal

Sidony O’Neal
Program for fireback with sacrificial anode, 2023
Pallet, aluminium, steel, printed inconel, vapor-smoothed
86.4 x 76.2 x 22.9 cm
34 x 30 x 9 in

Program for fireback with sacrificial anode (2023) functions as a provisional system where materials, symbols, and structural fragments interact through mathematical, architectural, and poetic logics. Drawing on computation, translation, and symbolic reasoning, O’Neal creates environments where objects act as interfaces for circulating meaning. Industrial and ornamental vocabularies collide in an unstable configuration: a pallet-like platform supports repeated linear elements and decorative aluminum forms like baroque or algorithmic fragments, while resin-like pieces punctuate the grid as irregular markers. The piece reads as platform, diagram, and stage, suggesting infrastructure and code and inviting viewers to see sculpture as an interface where patterns emerge, fracture, and recombine.
