“Four Species” Exhibition Opening
October 18, 2011, 7 pm – 9 pm
Maor Gallery
3030 NE 2nd Ave.
Miami, FL 33137
www.maormiami.org

‘Four Species’ is a contemporary group show curated by Jon Feinstein (co-founder and Curatorial Director of the Humble Arts Foundation, NY) and Shana Beth Mason (Miami-based art consultant and critic) that will incorporate new works from four emerging artists in reference to Sukkot. Free and open to the public. The exhibition will feature two sculptural works, a live performance and a wall of the sukkah creatively re-imagined.

Beverages and free onsite parking available to attendees!

More about the exhibition: Four Species refers to the four varieties of fauna synonymous with the human spine (the palm branch ‘Lulav’), eye (myrtle, ‘Hadass’), mouth (willow, ‘Aravah’) and heart (citron fruit ‘Etrog’), held together to symbolize the unity of body, spirit, scripture and memory. The continuous cycles of life and death, the nature of impermanence and migration, and how the practice of making art as an intellectual and contemplative pursuit which may somehow stall or pause the inevitable movement of organic decay are all traced through seamless dialogue between the artists’ works.

Loriel Beltran, Catalina Jaramillo, Joe Segal and Shelter Serra’s work manifest the essence of the religious celebration towards a broader audience: a unique consideration within the Sukkah, itself and moving indoors to the gallery space. A repurposed wooden wall acts as part of the Sukkah’s physical structure, a resin cast of the actual Four Species, two highly finished aluminum-implanted wooden beams hung side by side, and a meditative performance will act as visual suggestions.

Zadok Gallery / Marshall Arisman opening
Friday, October 28th 6-9pm
Zadok Gallery
2534 North Miami Avenue
Miami FL 33127

You are invited to attend an opening for Marshall Arisman at the Zadok Gallery on October 28th, 2011 from 6pm until 9pm at the Zadok Gallery. Please save the date and join us for the official grand opening of his show entitled “The Ayahuasca Series”.

This is a group of paintings and large format drawings. Ayahuasca (ayawaska pronounced [aja’waska] in the Quechua language) is any of various psychoactive infusions or decoctions prepared from the Banisteriopsis spp. vine, usually mixed with the leaves of dimethyltryptamine-containing species of shrubs from the Psychotria genus. The brew, first described academically in the early 1950s by Harvard ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes, who found it employed for divinatory and healing purposes by the native peoples of the Amazonian Colombia, is known by a number of different names. A notable property of ayahuasca is that neither of the ingredients cause any significant psychedelic effects when imbibed alone; they must be consumed together in order to have the desired effect. How indigenous peoples discovered the psychedelic properties of the ayahuasca remains unknown.

Marshall Arisman is an internationally known painter, illustrator, teacher, and story-teller. Arisman’s work has strong emotional themes which often explore the connections between humankind and violence and the resulting spiritual impact, and may be seen in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, at the National Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian Institution, as well as in many private and corporate collections. Marshall Arisman work has been part of the larger cultural language for the past several decades, appearing in places such as the covers of Time magazine, book covers and feature films. Mr. Arisman was the first American invited to exhibit his artwork in mainland China. His series, “Sacred Monkeys,” appeared at the Guang Dong Museum of Art in April 1999. He is the subject of a full-length documentary film directed by Tony Silver titled “Facing the Audience: The Arts of Marshall Arisman.”

Collections include: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, New-York Historical Society, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Telfair Museum of Art, Guang Dong Museum of Art; Guangzhou, China.

Audrey Love Gallery: ME TOO: All the same
October 14th, 7-10pm
Bakehouse Art Complex
561 NW 32nd Street
Miami, FL 33127

Produced by St. Thomas University Graduate Students
The artists will be creating self-portraits that reveal a side of themselves that they seldom show to society. The concept behind this self-portrait is that in our day to day lives, as we interact with the rest of society, there is a side of ourselves that we suppress because we have been conditioned to think that this side of ourselves is somehow unacceptable or not mainstream. As humans, we have more in common than not, and this exhibition will help guests explore the connection of their hidden selves with the artist’s through these revealing self-portraits.

Exhibiting Artists: Jaime Angula, Olivier Casse, Silvana D’Mikos, Marcelo Daldoce, Irena Gapkovska , Juan Griego, Tracey Hagen, Colleen Kelley, Deborah Mitchell, Nicholas Nehaniv, Gustavo Oviedo, Hugo Patao, Russ Ronat, Carrie Sieh, Donna Lee Steffens & William Vallenilla

Viking Funeral
DARK AGE AHEAD

October 5 – November 5, 2011

About Dark Age Ahead:
Dark Age Ahead is an exhibition based loosely on Jane Jacobs’ 2004 book “Dark Age Ahead”. In this book, the author characterizes a dark age as a “mass amnesia where even the memory of what was lost is lost.”
Taking Jacobs’ text as a starting point, sculptures and works on paper have been fabricated to further explore the themes of decay and abandonment in contemporary media and culture.

About Viking Funeral:
Viking Funeral engages with social conventions and meets pop culture with a counter gesture, when rejection and refusal merge with forms of chaos and defacement. Their media and products evolve from pop societies and their determining social systems of order. These social systems do not only serve as conceptual starting points, but also as artistic tools. Materials and objects from the everyday cultural production like newspapers, magazines, TV, video, Internet, spray paint, tape and markers play a central role in their language.

David Castillo Gallery presents Fabian Peña’s Subliminal, Reception
Thursday, October 6, 6-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, Florida 33127
www.davidcastillogallery.com

October 6 – November 5, 2011

David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Subliminal, Fabian Peña’s first solo show with the gallery. Centered in his locus of collage, sculpture and painting, and navigating his rhetorical milieu of organic and found materials, Peña argues for an entomology that is also anthropology; a mysticism that is also realism; a microcosm that is also infinity.

On observing nature, Hegel writes: “But the boundary line of what, like elephant, oak, gold, is markedly distinctive, the line of demarcation of what is genus and species, passes through many stages into the endless particularization of the chaos of plants and animals, kinds of rocks, or of metals, forms of earth, etc. etc., that only force and craft can bring to light.” (1)

Add to this exulted litany Peña’s splintered eggshells, fragments of cockroach wings, and crushed houseflies shattered like glass. Manipulate them with the force and craft of an artist who is also a trained observer. Combine the meticulousness of scientific classification and the raw impact of materiality. This aptly describes Peña’s four large-scale paintings in Subliminal. Peña’s paintings are consumptive in their visual effect and their ontology in sources the artist personally ingests, including newspapers, fashion magazines and pornography. Like the wings of a moth, Peña’s painterly pastiche yields cumulative subjects, such as a track-and-field athlete in the climax of a high jump. The trajectory of the jump will differ relative to the spacetime of the viewer and their association with Peña’s referential materials.

Peña meets the viewer in mid-air, where one is vulnerable to transience and desire. In mid-air, it is possible, like Schrödinger’s cat, to be both dead and alive. It is possible, like Turing’s infamous test, to be both human and machine. Peña’s work is premised on grasping binary dualism. This struggle is evident in Peña’s series of light boxes. It is also clear in Modern Society, a sculpture that borrows the interface of a compact disc so that, peering through the CD’s circular center through hundreds of pages of historical texts, the viewer encounters a video of ants devouring a scarab beetle alive.

Peña’s materials and process give form to a fecundity of all that is, seen and unseen. Peña displays awe that is a fascination with nature itself, regardless whether the genesis lies in mythology, scientific inquiry or the Freudian notion of the artist as godhead. When Peña micro-mosaics a human skull with cockroach fragments, he references mysticism and natural order. By synthesizing seemingly divergent materials, Peña transforms, for example, the American Dollar and the Chinese Yuan into symbols of immeasurable value.

Peña’s artistic practice is layered with cockroach wings and egg membrane, paint and shreds of celebrity rags. Peña’s depiction of flesh becomes an intermediary between human and animal, natural and manufactured, self and other, the artist’s material and the material world. Subliminal is the quiet disrobing of the viewer, an emperor in new clothes, a sovereign of all that is, seen and unseen.

Fabian Peña was born in Havana, Cuba and lives and works in Miami, Florida. He studied at Superior Institute of Arts in Havana. Peña’s work has been shown extensively throughout the US, Europe and Latin America. His work has been featured in notable publications, including The New York Times, and The Miami Herald. Recent exhibitions include Dead or Alive at the Museum of Art and Design in New York and New Work Miami at Miami Art Museum.

Zack Balber Exhibition Opening at Fredric Snitzer Gallery
Wednesday October 5, 2011 6-9 pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery
2247 NW 1st Place
Miami, FL 33127

October 5 – November 5, 2011

The Hebrew word Tamim translates as “pure”, “unblemished”, and “complete”. Photographer Zack Balber offers his unique, incongruous twist on Tamim’s denotation in his first solo exhibition at the Fredric Snitzer Gallery. Using portrait photography as his vehicle, Balber intimately uncovers the camouflaged identity of some of Judaism’s most unfamiliar Jews.

Born and raised in gritty inner-city neighborhoods throughout the country, both the photographer and many of his subjects were void of Jewish role models. Instead of praising their ancestry, they concealed their culture behind tattoos and vanity in a pursuit to assimilate. These men portray themselves as Bear Jews, the fighters, and the Sunday-School delinquents: they are the truly unconventional Jews.

Relocated to the close-knit Jewish community in Miami, Balber began to reconnect with his roots. During his cultural rediscovery, he encountered men who were similarly unorthodox yet retained that indefinable Jewish spark. Interestingly, when approached with the opportunity to be photographed as Jews, these ordinarily recalcitrant men let go of their powerful exteriors and embraced the vulnerability of portrait photography. When the participants donned the yarmulke that Zack Balber wore for his Bar Mitzvah, each of them expressed a spiritual reconnection to their culture, captured within these photographs.

Balber’s portraits of men who are ostensibly Tamim–proud, unashamed, and whole—exquisitely reveal their insecurity, vulnerability, and fear of exposure. Although their appearances may initially distract us from their inner reality, the tattoos and bling cannot obscure their heritage of Hebrew day school, spiritual mentors, or even the Holocaust. Through the courage and trust of both Zack Balber and his sitters, the photographer developed a rapport that catalyzed his sense of community and brotherhood. In an introspective discussion on his body of work, Balber noted, “that religion is far more than skin deep and that a connection with G-d can always be reignited.” Despite his initial rejection of Judaism, Balber’s portraits led him to rediscover the culture that is now his lifeline.

Bhakti Baxter: Rompelotas Opening Reception
October 7th, 7-9pm
Gallery Diet
174 NW 23rd Street
Miami, Florida 33127
www.gallerydiet.com

October 7th – November 12th, 2011
ROMPELOTAS is the first Miami solo exhibition in four years for locally based artist Bhakti Baxter. The exhibition will include sculpture, painting, collage, and installation based work.

ROMPELOTAS is a collection of work assembled through a careful balance between play and placement. Found objects such as soccer balls and office desk drawers collide with concrete and enamel to behave like irrational models of natural phenomena. Though various layers of media stack up against each other unsettlingly throughout the gallery, the work consists of very basic organic and geometric patterns such as branching, spherical implosion, vertical and panoramic support structures, both rendered and actual. Viewed as a whole, the parts function as components of an expanded portrait, with sculptures and drawings embracing the micro and macro at every junction. Working closely with the laws of gravity, density, and the malleability of mass, Baxter transforms quotidian objects into forms imbued with metaphysical propositions, further defined by the self-made aesthetic of these forces.

The word ROMPELOTAS is a play on the term rompe pelotas, which means ball breaker in Spanish.

Bhakti Baxter has exhibited at Federica Schiavo Gallery in Rome, Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery in Paris, Bravin Lee Programs, and Guild and Greyskhul in New York. He has also exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, where he is in the permanent collection, The Bass Museum of Art Miami Beach, The Museum of Contemporary Art Washington DC, and The Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art. His work is also included in the permanent collection of the NOMAS Foundation in Rome. This will be Baxter’s first solo exhibition at Gallery Diet.

The exhibition is being accompanied by a 120-page hard cover retrospective publication including texts by Geir Haraldseth, Gean Moreno, and Hugh Stockton.

Photographs with an Audience is finally here!
Sunday, October 2nd 4 PM
Monday, October 3rd 7 PM
174 NW 23 Street
Miami, Florida 33127

Gallery Diet is pleased to present the fourth incarnation of Photographs with An Audience, a performance by artist Clifford Owens. By eliminating the boundaries between artist and viewer and engaging the audience as participants, Owens will confront viewers in a new form of performance experience. Audience members are invited into the process of creating photographs, to produce compositions that reflect the experiences – past and present-of the group. The resulting photographs, which will be featured in an upcoming solo exhibition of the artist’s work opening Gallery Diet beginning on November 17, will be presented as static objects that challenge our notion of performance documentation and the creation of photographic artwork born out of action.

Photographs with an Audience is Clifford Owens’ debut performance and exhibition in Miami. The performance has been previously shown at The University of North Carolina, The Houston Museum of Contemporary Art and On Stellar Rays in New York City.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
October 2nd 4 PM
October 3rd 7 PM
Please arrive early as space is limited

Owens brings a new perspective to the history of performance art through the act of repeating canonical works within the very different context of current era, through the incorporation of the camera, his own body, and new audiences. He also restages historical live art works by other artists, creating open-ended situations that challenge the convention of art-making. He is currently working in a studio at MOMA/PS1 on Anthology a project which encompasses the work of over 20 inter-generational African American artists. The exhibition will be on view at the Museum in Fall 2011, a catalog will be published in 2012 with a text written by the exhibition curator, Christopher Lew.

Clifford Owens holds a BFA (1998) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and an MFA (2000) from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. He has participated in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the Studio Museum Residency in Harlem, and is a recipient of the Louis Tiffany Comfort Award and the Lambent Fellowship for the Arts. Owens has exhibited at P.S.1/MoMa as part of Greater New York, the Queens Museum of Art, NY, List Visual Art Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, and Para-Site Art Space, Hong Kong. Publications which have included his works are Performa: New Visual Art Performance, and The Greater New York Book. His projects and exhibitions have been written about in Art in America, Art+Auction, Newsweek, New York Times, Village Voice and other publications. Clifford is represented by On Stellar Rays and will be exhibiting with Gallery Diet on November 17.

Special thanks to the de la Cruz collection where Owens will be in residence beginning in October 2011. Work created in this residency will be part of TKTK.

Some thoughts on the work from the Fall Issue of BOMB magazine…
Nick Stillman in conversation with Clifford Owens in BOMB Magazine about the Houston Contemporary Museum’s incarnation of Photographs with an Audience
Owens: … The project is about the construction of a photograph with myself and/or the audience through simple gestures…
Stillman:… I found it to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Everyone in that room was going to walk away thinking about it for a while.
Owens: … we are all responsible for each other, because we have more in common than we think… trust was established in that small room, among strangers.

Georgina Chumaceiro and Elizabeth Hazim Directors of Art Nouveau Gallery, cordially invite you to the Opening Reception of Sideral Spheres by Héctor Ramírez

Kinetic art in Venezuela leaves more than an imprint on our memories. It remains because it is a way of understanding art as a continuous innovation, since the artist explores the infinite possibilities that can be reached with the most pure and expressive elements: line, form, color, movement, and transformation. That is why the artist, who adopts this course of action, always researches because he finds in the work of art the materialization of an unexpected, changing and surprising event for him and for the spectator.

For over 20 years, Art Nouveau has captured the hearts of collectors who appreciate and enjoy art. Since its creation, this gallery has undertaken de challenge of showcasing the most interesting proposals in the international scene, and has done so with sensitivity and courage. It has become a reference for experts in Latin American art.

Tigertail Season Kickoff Party

Expected\Unexpected
Tigertail’s Season 2011 – 2012 Kickoff Party
Join Tigertail for another lively Season Kickoff Party. The event is free and open to the public. The 2011-2012 season’s slogan is Expected\Unexpected, and the party will live up to this motto.

Attendees will enjoy the outrageous New York City performance artist Pat Oleszko and her inflatable art, surrounded by the beautiful street-art murals of Wynwood Walls. There will be special appearances by guest artists and the Tigertail WordSpeak team hot from Brave New Voices in San Francisco. Season tickets and other prizes will be offered, and partiers will be invited to create their own murals.

Pat Oleszko makes a spectacle of herself – and doesn’t mind if you laugh. The New Yorker says “She’s a rhyming, punning, vogueing, shrieking performer – a social critic, a comic, and a vamp.” Utilizing elaborate costumes and props, she has created lithe performances, films, installations that address trees, knees, breasts, butts, elephants and fingers. She has worked from the popular art forms of the street, party, parade and burlesque house, to the Museum of Modern Art, from Sesame Street Magazine to Ms, Playboy, and Artforum. A much decorated artist, literally and figuratively, she has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, the Jim Hensen Foundation and many others. She has exhibited and performed at many venues and museums, including a memorable show at the Bass Museum in 1993, about which the Sun Sentinel wrote, “Simply, Oleszko is the grande dame of performance art.”

The Wynwood Walls were produced by Deitch Projects and Goldman Properties to coincide with the 2009 Art Basel Miami. These street art murals were created by artists from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S., including Brazilian twins Os Gêmeos and Americans Shepard Fairey and Ryan McGinnis.

Party attendees can enjoy dinner at Joey’s or Wynwood Kitchen & Bar afterwards at a 15% discount.

Crushed Candy Reception
Thursday, September 8, 6-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, Florida 33127

September 8 – October 1, 2011

David Castillo Gallery is pleased to present Crushed Candy, a sixth anniversary exhibition with works by Jonathan Ehrenberg, Shara Hughes, Meredith James, and the TM Sisters (Tasha & Monica Lopez de Victoria). Anniversaries give pause for remembrance and revelry. Crushed Candy acknowledges the permeability of established aesthetic and art historical foundations and emblazons the significance of saturation, humor, and celebration. The result is an arcade of phenomenological experience where the human body follows an ironic second to architecture and environment. “The medium is the message,” infamously coined by Marshall McLuhan, foregrounds materiality and creates unexpected freedom to maneuver in the space remaining. The works in Crushed Candy test their mettle against the sweet ease of perception. They take as their premise a studio practice as steadfast as iron and finished forms as urgent and fantastical as the future state of candy.

Jonathan Ehrenberg streamlines his four-fold gusto for set design, still life, pantomime, and Noh Theater into videos and works on paper. A contemporary fabulist, Ehrenberg’s primary performers are animal, plant, mineral, and architecture. Human forms are latecomers to Ehrenberg’s party, arriving after the mechanical significance of his dramatic sets, transitional lighting, and raw craft of papier-mâché masks or chiffon cloud-cover. Ehrenberg’s primary occupation is creating texture for the experience of the moving image.

Shara Hughes’ mixed media on canvas works add a visual clause to the Theory of Relativity. Reveling in color, texture, and pattern, Hughes extends the dazzling invitation to believe in personal motion whether or not the source is a train on a parallel track. Viewer association may propel the interior spaces and anthropological evidence that inhabit Hughes’ canvases, or her milieu may propel viewer expectations with a jolt of the uncanny. Hughes’ works offer a visual vocabulary as tight as Etch A Sketch and Keith Haring. All Hughes’ world is an imaginative holodeck, and her subjects and viewers equal players.

Meredith James’ videos are dioramic excursions traversing interior and exterior architectures. Using tropes of cinematic transition, illusion, and simple special effects, James enacts transparent complications and solutions to her space-time relationship with elements both fabricated and real. James’ steady rove through unrelenting stage curtains, dollhouse proportions, nostalgic television sets, and the cues of bourgeois place-settings in Present Time identifies her increasingly less as a chic marauder and more as a pantomime of humorous delight springing from her environment like Chutes and Ladders. Present Time is a digital tourniquet to Truffaut’s infamous film Day for Night, wherein a fictional film’s plot, production, and the personal lives of its actors jostle for narrative dominance like waves crashing against the fourth wall.

The TM Sisters collaborate in video, performance, large-scale installation, and two-dimensional works to break the walls of time, tense, and consciousness. Their brand of exuberant, aquarium dance rites and colorful performance court viewers with the inherent movement of telepathy, hypnosis, light tricks, and the seriousness of play. The TM Sisters use media to probe human behavior as a disco ball entreats even the reluctant to the dance floor. Tasha and Monica Lopez de Victoria hijack technological nostalgia, youth couture, and the spiritual force that dares space and inhabitants both real and imagined, organic and artificial, to celebrate as one. Based in Miami, the TM Sisters channel their aesthetic to close the connotative distance between tropical and topical in all environments and experiences.

Jonathan Ehrenberg received his MFA from Yale and has exhibited widely and received a number of important residencies including the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Workspace (2010-2011). A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Shara Hughes’ upcoming exhibitions include “Paint” at the Saatchi Gallery, London. Meredith James received her MFA from Yale University and a recent screening of her work was at the ICA Boston in 2010. Tasha and Monica Lopez de Victoria (TM Sisters) received degrees from New World School of the Arts and Florida International University respectively, and have exhibited widely in museum exhibitions nationally and internationally.

Sunny Suits Regular Lovers
Opening Reception: Friday September 9, 2011 7:30-10 pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery
2247 NW 1st Place
Miami, FL 33127

September 9 – October 3, 2011

Sunny Suits’ solo exhibition is titled Regular Lovers, borrowing its name from a Philippe Garrel film. Like Garrel, Suits works from her own life and relationships, giving us starkly honest insights into her private world through the portrayal of friends and lovers.

The photographs individually offer us glimpses of respective figures in Suits’ life. As with the work of Garrel, Cassavetes, or even Fassbinder the same characters reoccur throughout her work. Whilst her photographs speak in conjunction with social realism through their honest presentations, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the collection is how Suits herself manages to authentically capture this aesthetic. These are not candid photos, yet they betray the same intimacy as if they were impromptu. Even when the subjects look into the camera itself, it seems it is Suits they see rather than a lens; it is she they continually respond to rather than the camera.

Accompanied by contextualizing still lives, the sense of Suits’ consistent presence in each situation, in each photograph, lends an intimacy beyond the relationships displayed between couples; their setting, either indoors or in darkness, further privatizes the situation. It is, in fact, Suits’ own engagement with her friends and lovers and her comprehension of the dynamics of the lovers she photographs that gives the exhibition it’s true narrative. The photographs present viewers with a narrative of unusually honest self-reflection through the engagement of others.

A soundtrack of music selected by Suits especially for Regular Lovers will play throughout the exhibition.

Local Artist Group Exhibition Opens for Second Saturday
Thursday, September 8, 2011 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m,
Alberto Linero Gallery
2294 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami

Alberto Linero Gallery Turns New Leaf With Fall Season,
Focused Direction, Curator Adriana Carvalho & Pink Bastard Art Collective

Alberto Linero Gallery presents September, a group exhibition organized by art collective Pink Bastard, featuring the works of seven established Miami artists. Principal Alberto Linero, who renovated the space earlier this year and took reins of the gallery’s artistic and business direction, is now tapping outside talent with guest curator, Adriana Carvalho (Pink Bastard, ArtCenter/South Florida, Art Miami “Director’s Choice”). September was conceptualized to inform the artists’ view of day-to-day life in Miami.

Slated to coincide with Wynwood’s monthly Second Saturday Art Walk, the opening reception will feature a selection of fine wine and cheeses. The event is free and open to the public, and the show will be on view through October 8, 2011. For more information please call 305.587.0172, email info@albertolinerogallery.com or visit www.albertolinerogallery.com.

“We are embracing September as a fresh start and new beginning,” said principal Linero. “Our city is so very rich with talent that we invited Adriana and her group, ‘Pink Bastard,’ to celebrate Miami and its everyday occurrences and idiosyncrasies through an alternative lens.”

Participating artists include: Eddie Arroyo, Adriana Carvalho, Charles Falarara, Kevin Foltz, Cory Foote, Kathy Kissik, Franklin Sinanan and David Zalben. A brief description of select artists’ works follows:

– Photographer Cory Foote creates images in traditional black and white film of subjects ranging from portraits to beautiful natural landscapes. A selection of Foote’s pieces will probe the viewer with undertones of melancholy and atypical use of color and hues.

– “A simple line of wire can tell a story.” David Zalben uses metal wire to animate life’s simplicities and push his own boundaries as an artist, reducing ideas to their very core by representing them as an outline. In this exhibition, the artist will be showcasing a special collection of wire-written poems.

– Adriana Carvalho describes her work as delicately transforming items, such as metal and cloth products, into pieces that stand for her dreams, fears and social commentary. September will showcase a series of Adriana’s new works, including her Insomnia installation, which highlights the poetry of everyday life using a pillow and a rug.

Behind The Curtain, A Lock of Hair Falling with works by Joshua Abelow, Sarah Conaway, Talia Chetrit, Debo Eilers, Nicolas Lobo, Martin Oppel, and George Woodman.
Opening Reception, September 1st, 2011. 7-10pm
Gallery Diet
174 NW 23rd Street
Miami, Florida 33127

September 1st – October 1st, 2011

Behind The Curtain, A Lock of Hair Falling is a line from a poem written by Matthew Abess, expert chef of ostrich eggs and Assistant Curator at The Wolfsonian Museum. The line is a compression of a scene, described some years after its occurrence, wherein the Fuehrer emerges from a private suite in the public light of the hotel balcony, presenting himself to the crowds below. The works of Joshua Abelow, Sarah Conaway, Talia Chetrit, Debo Eilers, Nicolas Lobo, Martin Oppel, and George Woodman come together to form an atmospheric fog of delusional pop, figurative indulgence and playfulness bordering on pornography.

The artists in the exhibition live in Miami, New York City, and Los Angeles, creating a triangular network; this triangle is reflected physically in various works in the show. Neon colors, hard cold lines, and filtered light are threads. Pee Wee’s playhouse is a note. The exhibition opens on September 1st, trailing the end of the radiating summer heat in Miami.

Gallery Diet is a contemporary art gallery located in the Wynwood District of Miami, Florida where it has existed since 2007. The gallery has produced nearly 30 solo and group exhibitions by emerging and under represented artists from around the world. Many of these exhibitions have been documented in hard cover print editions. Represented artists include Kristopher Benedict, Charley Friedman, Christy Gast, Richard Höglund, Fabienne Lasserre, Abby Manock, and Daniel Milewski.
