“I perceive the spaces where time flickers—where déjà vu hums like a distant echo, where a breath feels borrowed from another life.”
Through both this developmental and this structural model, psychoanalysis enacts an unprecedented science of mediation: a study of how language and norms inform desires; how desires can only make themselves legible in the distortions of parapraxes, dreams, fumbles, and symptoms; how the self is not self-evident but rather a product of social relations. With its conviction that psychic experience is socially produced, psychoanalytic theory can help explore the ways that circulation impresses upon the psyche: an overemphasis on instantaneous fluid exchange, an overabundance of images, an overweighting of presence, and overvaluing of identity can all preclude or fore-close the functioning of the symbolic. Representation slackens, and an unintegrable real impends. Immersion in the imaginary initiates all kinds of psychic dischord, from fantasies of self-possession and delusions of wholeness, to refusals of the other and proliferating dualities, to paranoiac gusts and polarized fluctuation. Each of these disorders vividly characterizes contemporary media culture and contemporary algorithmic logic.

Strange Natures features the work of three artists exploring themes of communal care, loss, resilience, and tenderness through the lens of South Florida’s ecology. While the artists use different mediums, they all engage in a process of world-building that feels both of and beyond our natural environment.
The exhibition imagines how our connection to land will change depending on our collective response, whether care or indifference, to the exploitation of our natural ecosystems. By contemplating this relationship within the context of South Florida’s landscape, the artists explore versions of reality that oscillate between dystopia and utopia, present and future, the familiar and strange.

“Cultural identity… is a matter of ‘becoming’ as well as of ‘being.’ It belongs to the future as much as to the past.” — Stuart Hall
‘poemas de sal y tierra (poems of salt and soil)’ is a collective living archive, an ever evolving space where sentiment, symbolism, and memorabilia come together to be held, celebrated, reimagined, and shared. The gallery space functions like a diary written in prose, where the artworks serve as entries–preserving feelings and memories beyond physical artifacts. Artists from the Caribbean and Latin America weave new layers of meaning into inherited stories, places and objects, transforming memory into an active conversation that continues to unfold.
The exhibition explores the idea that we both come from and become the places we move through. Salt and soil, fundamental to land and sea, symbolize ancestral geographies. Through the use of various mediums–painting, drawing, sound, film, photography and sculpture– artists translate ephemeral histories, embodied knowledge and shifting landscapes into tangible artworks, much like poetry makes visible the invisible threads of our existence.
Through their work, the artists transform fragments of themselves into an active, breathing record of resilience and reverence for their roots, lived experiences and their own sense of belonging. This exhibition is ultimately a reflection of how we collect, connect and preserve the intangible, and how we return to it for comfort, clarity, and renewal. Here, collective memory isn’t fixed; it shifts, grows, and evolves through each work.

FORGOTTEN LANDS has emerged as a leading force in contemporary Caribbean art, serving as a vital platform that amplifies voices across the diaspora and launches the careers of emerging artists. Their mission centers on illuminating the often-overlooked narratives of the Caribbean while weaving together the region’s rich historical tapestry.Founded in 2017, founders Cory Torres Bishop and Don Brodie initially conceived FORGOTTEN LANDS as a benefit exhibition in the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria. What began as an immediate response to environmental disaster has evolved into a dynamic 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Today, they forge meaningful collaborations with artists, galleries, institutions, and brands to create transformative projects spanning exhibitions, community events, artist talks, publications, and beyond.

The exhibition Park McArthur. Contact M brings together, for the first time, artworks made between the 2010s and 2020s. These artworks and the forms they take are guided by personal and social meanings of disability, delay, and dependency.
Co-organized by mumok in Vienna and Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, the exhibition is a collaboration between both institutions and will be presented simultaneously at both locations. Questions of simultaneous experience and access to art and culture shape this project’s format and purpose.

South Florida PBS‘s Art Loft on the recent art events, including the latest iteration of No Vacancy 2024.
Art transforms some of Miami Beach’s most iconic places with “No Vacancy.” This juried art competition brings together 12 talented local artists to create site-specific public works to be displayed across 12 famed hotel properties. From lobby installations to outdoor alleys, this program reimagines public spaces as dynamic canvases for contemporary art. Among the excitement of Art Week Miami Beach and Art Basel, No Vacancy gives local artists a spot to shine on Miami Beach.
Jeffrey Noble and Alison Matherly, the duo behind art collaborative, We Are Nice’n Easy welcome visitors to their installation entitled, “Soft Squeeze.” It’s a playfully giant yet thought-provoking inflatable sculpture suspended in an alleyway behind Esmé Miami Beach.
At the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel, artist Adler Guerrier presents “Objects, Landscapes and Things.” The multimedia work explores South Florida’s environment and temporality – all in a bright corner of the hotel lobby.
Artist Magnus Sodamin takes over the lobby of the Faena Hotel with a contemporary work. Delicate rose-gold representations of Floridian wildlife are suspended in the grand space. While the imagery may be whimsical, the piece asks viewers to reflect on humanity’s fragile relationship with nature.
The lobby of the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club is home to artist Marielle Plaisir’s work, “Rhapsody for a Beloved World.” The work is a backlit collage that encourages joy and harmony, with the possibility for a more peaceful and inclusive world.
Artist Dennis Scholl’s work is on view at the Hotel Croydon. The artist’s trademark ray-like dodecagon motifs are arranged in a 12-sided structure to represent time, memory, and the collective experiences we all share.
