Opening Reception: Saturday, March 22 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm
DosJotas is ArtCenter/South Florida’s third visiting artist from Spain through its partnership with Acción Cultural Española. DosJotas’ project, Greetings From Miami, encompasses the city, as with his interventions and actions. During his residency in Miami, his work takes a turn where he takes on the guise of anthropologist, meeting and interviewing Miamians from all walks of life—immigrants that range from Cubans to Haitians to New Yorkers. The project will culminate in a set of “tourist” postcards that represent the “real” Miami.
DosJotas was born in Madrid in 1982. He graduated with a Masters in Contemporary Art from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UEM). DosJotas’ work functions as social criticism. He works primarily through actions and interventions within urban spaces, not necessarily public. Through his work, he appropriates and reinterprets existing elements in the urban landscape, using the city as a stage for action and artistic intervention. He explores the disappearance of public spaces through gentrification found in all large cities and forms of control in mass societies and civic passivity. His interventions have and can be found in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Madrid, Miami, New York, Paris, San Francisco, among other cities. He lives and works in Madrid.
