Allman Strength Roots Animation by Bettina Furnée
This video was created by Bettina Furnée while she was an international resident at Popopstudios International Center for The Visual Arts in Nassau, The Bahamas. (featuring the voice of Crispin Dillet)
Bettina was born in The Hague, Netherlands, and has worked independently in England since 1989, developing a site specific and socially engaged art practice. Trained as a lettercutter, public artist and art historian, Bettina Furnée's work developed through private and public commissions towards a contemporary art practice, which is rooted in notions of site and uses text, sculptural form and light.
The Popopstudios Artist in Residence programme exists as an extension of the gallery's mission to promote, expose and engage new and challenging developments in contemporary art.

Kendal Hanna at VOLTA NY 2015
This video is brought to you by GalleryLOG. Also available to view on
Hanna Hanna is presented by Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts (Nassau, booth A6) at VOLTA NY 2015.
A vanguard of Abstract Expressionism in the Bahamas with over five decades of evolving form in his retinue, Kendal Hanna's recent career achievements include last year's art documentary Brigidy Bram. In Hanna's words: “Real curiosity in ideas, material, form and the environment, be it through drawing, sculpture or painting, and channeling that effort into hard work is the awesome responsibility and joy of an artist.”
ABOUT VOLTA NY:
VOLTA NY | MARCH 5–8, 2015
An invitational solo project fair for contemporary art.
NEW LOCATION: PIER 90, NEW YORK
With mutual acknowledged VIP access with The Armory Show
VOLTA NY is an invitational fair of solo-artist projects and is the American incarnation of the original VOLTA show, which was founded in Basel in 2005. VOLTA NY was conceived in 2008 as a focused, curated, boutique event that is a place for discovery. The exhibition showcases relevant contemporary art positions regardless of the artist’s or gallery’s age. By refocusing on artists through solo projects, VOLTA NY promotes a deep exploration of the work of its selected participants. These galleries must maintain deeply meaningful connections with their artists and follow them throughout their careers. In turn, invited galleries exhibit in an elegant venue, elevating their respective platforms for an experience mutually beneficial to fair visitors and the galleries alike.
In March 2015, VOLTA NY inaugurates its new home location at PIER 90 in the neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. The landmark move positions it adjacent to Piers 92 and 94, the longtime platform for its sister fair, The Armory Show, and the focal point of March fair season. Moving to PIER 90 allows for synergy between both fairs and their collector bases while retaining VOLTA NY's distinct character and rigorous curation — the foundation for VOLTA's mission since its 2008 debut.
VOLTA NY is a platform for challenging, often complementary — and sometimes competing — ideas about contemporary art. Single-artist booths functioning more closely to proper exhibitions rather than traditional presentations proliferate the contemporary fair scene now. VOLTA NY has made solo projects its mandate and foundation from its inception in 2008, offering a prime opportunity to discover the practices of today's most salient artists while refocusing the art fair experience back to its most fundamental point: the art itself.
