This weekend we have excellent reasons to take the train and explore outside of the city for a short break. NADA Hudson promises an exciting alternative to the traditional art fair, while Art Southampton will make its awaited debut; hard to compare to each other, but we have big expectations for both.

On the other hand, Chelsea will come back to life on Thursday after a quiet last week for the third annual Chelsea Art Walk; galleries stay open past their regular hours, and some will feature special performances and opening events. Refer to our listings for the latest updates.

Thursday:
+ "31 Women in Art Photography" curated by Jon Feinstein, Natalia Sacasa at Hasted Kraeutler

Friday:
+ Preview: Third Annual Zine & Self-Published Photo Book Fair at Camera Club of New York (Printed Matter)
+ Performance: Akio Suzuki, Gozo Yoshimasu, Otomo Yoshihide "Voices and Echoes" at Issue Project Room

Saturday:
+ "NADA Hudson 2nd Edition" curated by Grela Orihuela at NADA NYC (Basilica Hudson)
