Abstract Gambling on the Ice Palace Lawn

No, it’s not the title of a new novel by Gary Shteyngart. It’s a very special event taking place tomorrow and Friday (from 11am to 7pm) in the midst of the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Art Fair in Miami. Inside that tent on the lawn of the Ice Palace, you’ll find artist, performer, and croupier Michael Portnoy leading groups of four players through “ritualistic” dice games around a table topped with ultramarine felt. The game, played for money, is TALUS.
