Naomi Fisher interviewed by John Hood, of nbcmiami.com.

In addition to the” Weird” participants, what other Miami artists have you been keeping an eye on? That’s tough because I’m so psyched about all of the “Weird” participants! Clifton Childree is a perennial favorite. … Nicolas Lobo is doing a fascinating portrait of a former downstairs neighbor. … Adler Guerrier is like a sleuth. … Christy Gast has an aptitude for exploring nature that I share. … I wish I could partake in a Jason Hedges food performance every day. … Who else? Robert Chambers, Mette Tommerup, Bhakti Baxter. … Oh boy, instead of writing a book of names I’m going to suggest seeing the new show “New Work Miami 2010″ at MAM. That covers many people I think are making interesting work.

BasFisherInvitational presents WEIRD MIAMI, opening reception Saturday July 10, 7 – 10 PM.

WEIRD MIAMI Visitors Center exhibition JULY 10 – SEPTEMBER 18, 2010 RECEPTION SATURDAY, JULY 10, 7 – 11 PM PERFORMANCE BY JASON HEDGES STARTS 8 PM WEIRD MIAMI Artist-led Bus Tours JULY 18, AUGUST 15, & SEPTEMBER 19 WEIRD MIAMI is the chance to ditch our jaded views of Miami and become “tourists in the ‘weird’ pockets in our own city.” – Adler Guerrier There is a much more interesting — sometimes dark — and never boring side to Miami, one only known to the people who inhabit this town.  For any Miamian a typical day’s experiences could range from strange to the swampy sublime.  Is there any such thing as “Flori-duh?”  It is only when one accepts the city in all its glorious weirdness that one can unearth the cracked and quirky gems that lie hidden within. The artists, both Miamians and non-natives, consider their experiences with people they have come across, through mysterious topographies they have discovered, and objects they have excavated or exhumed, as a way to make sense of or share their unique findings. Exhibition is free and open to the public. VISITOR’S CENTER ARTISTS: Autumn Casey | Alyse Emdur | Adler Guerrier  | Jason Hedges Nicolas Lobo & Kenneth Andrew Mroczek | Justin Long | Isabel Moros | Peggy Nolan WEIRD MIAMI ARTIST-LED BUS TOURS: Reserve your seat now!
