Join us for the opening reception of Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove

924 Lincoln Road, Suite 205
Miami Beach, FL 33139
ArtCenter/ South Florida is proud to present Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove – organized by resident artist, Natasha Duwin.
Many times a gentle demeanor conceals a resolute personality, and a softness in speech and manner betrays a certain severity. This exhibition explores the tensions between these two attitudes, particularly in women.
One of the featured works will be Shedding the Shadows, a dress and tapestry woven out of discarded items of clothing. Seemingly useless objects are repurposed into a series of ropes, with their connotation of strength and usefulness, and they in turn are compiled into a dress that is at once revealing and protective.
Featured Artists: Adriana Carvalho, Natasha Duwin, David Leroi, Venessa Monokian,
Hugo Moro, Damian Sarno, Nina Surel & Agustina Woodgate
On View June 3 – July 10, 2011
