Adler Guerrier
Everyday Travails
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
October 10- November 7, 2009
Reception October 10, 7-10 pm

David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Everyday Travails, Adler Guerrier’s first solo exhibition at the gallery and his first in Miami in over four years. The artist’s creative impulse is both intellectual and organic and is shown by his love of paper and its natural evolution into artwork and by his contemplative photography of the everyday. The current exhibition includes drawings, sculpture, photography, and video encapsulating the ideas of constant interest to the artist: place and the everyday.

The works reveal a structured imprint of the everyday, in the exploration of the relationship of media to the psycho-geographical, social, and political nature of place. Adler Guerrier sets drawing, collage, sculpture, photo, video, and installation in dialogue. His inspired cultural hybrid between color and plane are anchored by fearless, site-specific subversions of place and time in regards to conceptions of race, class, and culture. Often calling upon the districts of Miami and his own backyard, Guerrier examines the contemporary flaneur in an impending post-demographic age.

Adler Guerrier was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and lives and works in Miami. He studied at the New World School of the Arts in Miami and has exhibited widely including The Whitney Biennial 2008, the Wolfsonian Miami Beach, and Miami Art Museum. The artist has recently exhibited in VideoStudio at The Studio Museum in Harlem and Pivot Points 3 at Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami and is in the permanent collection of both institutions. Upcoming exhibitions and projects include Afro-Modernism: Journeys through the Black Atlantic at the Tate Liverpool; commissioned works for Locust Projects Miami and a monograph to be published by Name Publications. Guerrier’s work has appeared in the New York Times, Artnews, and Art in America, among numerous other publications.

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 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

It boiled down Gavin Perry and Cooper at Snitzer; brilliant shows! And Raul Mendez at TwentyTwenty. I didn’t take pictures at the other places that I visited.
I’ll try to go see Pepe Mar at Castillo and Cristina Lei Rodriguez’s show at Perrotin, in the few days.
