This exhibition’s title comes from a short story with the same name by Edward P. Jones, author of The Known World. In the story, the relationship between a father and daughter, living in 1960’s Washington D.C., changes as a nearby railroad company buys up property and the neighborhood around them disappears. The story’s themes and images appear in the work: family, loss, displacement, community vigilance, changing landscapes. The show includes photography, drawing, and painting by Gary L. Moore, Kathleen Hudspeth, Ryan Holloway, Adler Guerrier, David Rohn, Vanessa Tomchik, Karla Turcios, Bayunga Kialeuka, and others. Curated by Library Curator Denise Delgado.

HEAL: A Place to Call Home in collaboration with Rhythmic Rapture

HEAL: A Place to Call Home is an arts-intervention program, initiated by arts group Rhythmic Rapture, which uses the arts to facilitate personal transformation for displaced and homeless populations.

The Library System has collaborated with Rhythmic Rapture to present the following series of programs to raise awareness and provoke discussion of the economic, health, cultural, and policy issues that contribute to homelessness and housing problems. The Girl Who Raised Pigeons is part of this program series.

Immigration and Home

A film screening is followed by a discussion of homelessness through the lens of immigration and the struggle to find work, housing, and community far from home.

Saturday, October 18, 1:00-3:00pm

Main Library, Auditorium, 101 West Flagler Street, Miami – 305-2665

Shelf Life, this Saturday July 12th

Kathleen Hudspeth and I are collaborating on a suite of works on paper, using various techniques (lithography, xerox transfer, screenprinting, monoprinting and drawing). We are merging our individual vocabularies in these works and having fun doing it.

So the show opens Saturday, July 12th. The space was used by Placemaker Gallery. The address is 3852 North Miami Avenue. Here is the press release.

Twenty Twenty is pleased to invite you to the opening reception for the group exhibition:

Shelf Life

Kevin Arrow
Alyse Emdur

Shelf Life affirms the importance of an expiration date. In some cases the work is ephemeral discussing the relevance of longevity to the importance of creation. In other cases it is the concept behind the work that talks about a lifespan of some kind. Art attempts to defy its end whereas an art exhibition is created with the understanding that it will only last for a short period of time. This exhibition has a shelf life whereas the art in it addresses the idea while still attempting to defy it.
Exhition runs through August 10th 2008

Exhibition Location:
