Marina Abramovic, Laurie Anderson, Chuck Close, Michele Oka Doner, Jenny Holzer, Anish Kapoor, Bill Viola at The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum October 9th - January 10th, 2010
Posted 11/15/09

In this diverse exhibit, art is being used as a tool for social change with the difficult task of motivating people to pursue peace in their lives using the Dalai Lama as example.  This is no easy undertaking when one considers just some of the reasons we devise to be combative, heavy topics such as territory, religion, race, class division, and gender. In The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama, 45 artists reflect His Holiness’ pacific message. Upon entering the Frost Muse... [more]

diego de souza, Luis Manuel Fernandez at Cremata Gallery November 13th - November 30th
Posted 11/9/09

    A dialogue between the works of Diego de Souza and Luis Manuel Fernandez: one exhibition, two artists, one Argentine and one Cuban, two different ways of approaching art. Diego’s paintings with his expressive use of color, light, transparency, and his free and imaginative strokes comes very close to pure abstraction. In contrast with Luis Manuel’s sculptures: precise, figurative and full of symbolic realism. The exhibition is the dichotomy between two artists, but is also full of coi... [more]

Posted 11/8/09

          Ever since Elvis shook his hips on Sullivan, rock ‘n roll’s icons have entrenched themselves in our culture. MAFIART, the current exhibition at Wynwood’s Calix Gustav Gallery, takes a look at society’s obsession with fame and the emotional implications that surround it. With his recent passing, Michael Jackson has been as relevant as ever. We don’t need to look far for the first sighting of the King of Pop, as he makes an appearance in Lazaro Amaral's colorful stencil painting, which also... [more]

The works on view in Set to Manual were developed and refined by the artists’ hand at every stage of creation. Lavish investment in each wo... [more]

“Five Abstract Visions,” the new exhibition at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries in downtown Coral Gables, offers a fascinating view of how accomplished mid-career artists approach abstraction in very different ways. “Each of these artists have been exhibited in museums and are included in some of the nation’s most important collections,” said gallery owner and director Virginia Miller. “Each has spent years perfecting a highly personal technique and offers a unique visual statement....

She currently lives and works in New York City. She received a BA, Magna cum Laude, from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, and an MA from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1997 she received he... [more]

      Neckface will turn Miami inside out for his premiere solo exhibition in the Magic City. This Halloween night, Neckface will deconstruct all 10,000 square feet of O.H.W.O.W. and build a world like no other. Featuring a large-scale haunted house installation, complete with Neckface's iconic imagery, the Devil’s Disciple exhibition is designed to frighten viewers as they enter the space. The crux of the exhibition though will surely be Neckface's new work. A deviation from the norm, it is choc... [more]
