7-11pmGuccivuitton is pleased to announce a group exhibition The Look. A survey of artworks that addresses the perceptions and expectations of Haitian Culture through the awareness of artists and their audience.
In the 2005 French drama, Vers le sud (Heading South), Charlotte Rampling, coined “The Look” by Dirk Bogarde for her mysterious yet tragic gaze, plays Ellen, a member of a group of middle aged white women that visit a sleepy seaside hotel on the coast of Haiti with the sole purpose of sharing companionship with young male locals. The film portrays the illicit yet discreet exchange between the women’s desire to supplant their unfulfilled romantic needs and the local boy’s need to escape their political and socioeconomic status.
Likewise Haiti’s cultural output has been steeped in a romance of sorts between the expectations of tourists and visitors looking to acquire a memento of their experience in Haiti and the perceptions of the indigenous artists and artisans that produce to meet this demand. This exhibitions hopes to introduce an archeological & phenomenological examination that has led to an aesthetic cross pollination of possibilities from this unique artist/consumer paradigm.

Jeannette Ehlers – Whip it Good
Whip it Good
Wednesday, April 16, 2014 | 7pm
Performance by Jeannette Ehlers | Curated by Alanna LockwardArtCenter’s Richard Shack Gallery | 800 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach
Whip It Good is a live performance by Jeannette Ehlers, a Caribbean diaspora artist born and based in Denmark. It was first presented in Berlin at Ballhaus Naunynstrasse in 2013 and later recreated at Vestindisk Pakhus (“The West India Warehouse”) in Copenhagen, where, in earlier times, rum, sugar, and coffee from the Antilles were lugged in. This performance will be re-enacted on April 16, 2014 at 7pm at ArtCenter/South Florida’s Richard Shack Gallery where she will challenge the audience with a deceivingly simple action: whipping—one of the most brutal means of punishment during slavery. Whip It Good is a modest but tense rebellion against the past.
Ehlers currently has a major solo exhibition Say It Loud at Nikolaj Kunsthal, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center and her work is part of Caribbean: Crossroads of the World at the Perez Art Museum Miami.
