I didn’t see much the first night.
The exhibition continued at the Park avenue Armory, a spectacular place.
I really enjoy the show; works by Leslie Hewitt, Rashawn Griffin, Amanda Ross-Ho, John Baldessari, Walead Beshty, Ellen Harvey, William Cordova, Heather Rowe, Rachel Harrison, Rita Ackerman, DJ Olive, Gardar Einarsson, Louise Lawler, Olaf Breuning, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Neighborhood Public Radio and Michael Queenland were especially memorable.
There is plenty of blog (flickr), magazine and newpaper coverage.
We went out to see William O’brien’s works at World Class Boxing. We really enjoy the sculptures, which are not just the ceramic masks; the pedestals, with their unrefined edges and details, are made by O’brien. And his drawings installation are offers complexity, playfulness and a snapshot into O’brien’s day-to-day studio activities.
We also went to see some works at UM projects space, Snitzer, gallery Diet and 2020. We missed Dorsch.
Here are some images.
Criticalmiami has a relevant post. We dont have images of Sean Dack’s show; but here is one from his blog.
And then the ride home.
Today is the last day of the exhibition, Top Soil, curated by Mette Tommerup, installed at Casa Lin.
Here are some images from the opening of the exhibition, back on November 25.
This exhibition, in multiple venues, is in conjunction of the launch of the book, Miami Contemporary Artists (www.miamicontemporaryartists.com) . There are many artists in this book, somewhere around 100, I’ll venture to guess that there are at least as many in the exhibitions.
