Across a range of functional objects, the Brooklyn-based Stout has become one of the most talked about designers of her generation. Whether working within the functional logic of lighting, seating, or shelving, or with mirrored or textile surfaces, Stout recasts the domestic world in her own, singular way—the effects being both absurd and abject, playful and sinister. Stout’s recent work has engaged … +

There is a moment when you view Nicole’s paintings in which you are unsure of what you’re looking at; a brief second during which your body is drawn to the fluidity of the paint, a moment during which you don’t recognize the shame of finding yourself inside a lustful image. The feminist in you then fights against this imposed shame and you … +

His endeavors began in abstract painting and then gradually evolved into geometric sculpture by the way of white, monochrome reliefs.

A visual topography of the urban, subtropical conditions of Miami, reflecting upon these distinct environments as evidence of the cultural and political landscapes of the city. Guerrier, in many ways, plays the role of cultural cartographer, and the images themselves, physically folded, unfolded, and then displayed on the wall, have the look of maps laid out with landmarks noted in painted squares. … +

More often than not, gallery visitors are warned about not to touch artworks. Museum limit access to valuable works and many are displayed under security glass. Artworks are valuable fragile commodities. The desire to fondle, rub, squeeze and pinch is hard to discourage. Sometimes people flick and knock on things. Why? Where is their sense of decorum? Apparently the old adage “with … +

Emerson Dorsch presents the first show with the gallery of Karen Rifas, “PER FORMS,”. Rifas will present a vinyl floor drawing in the midst of vivid new paintings on paper that line the walls of the gallery. The colors will have burned an echo into the image you see in the second. Likewise, one can track Rifas’ ability to see throughout her … +

The young Finnish artist Reima Nevalainen has compared his work to the study of both anatomy and archeology. His dark and existentially loaded works fall somewhere between painting and collage. Using unconventional materials such as cardboard and sand, he depicts bodies twisted in impossible poses, with faces smudged and barely perceptible in a muted palette of gray, sepia, and dusty red. Nevalainen … +

In Lampworks, Fischer has returned to creating light sculptures, the subject which originally brought his work attention in the 1980’s. The new sculptures pull from decades of working as designer, sculptor, architect and social mediator. Mechano-like metal support structures form the basis of each lamp, around which Fischer wraps, bolts, sews and stretches their vinyl and fabric skins. The elegant, playful skins … +

Ernesto Oroza’s body of work encompasses notions such as architecture and design which channel the artist’s own analytical employment of contemporary object typologies and productive forces. Instead of functioning within the realm of manufacturing, he produces and distributes speculative models and research through various publication methods, exhibitions, collaborative practices, documentaries, and unorthodox forays into more conventional modes of architecture, interior and object … +

Necessary Objects is Mexican artist Marcos Castro’ first solo show in Dotfiftyone Gallery.  The young artist reflects on a fundamental act related to art: to look.

The work is an exploration of … +

“The photographs in my “Darker Than Blue” collection represent moments I was fortunate enough to witness throughout my recent world travels – says Bitton. When I look at these pictures now, they feel like they were taken through a time machine, for a lucid dream, carrying every sensation and nuance—hyper realistic contrasts—only my Leica cameras can capture. My lifelong passion for the … +

There’s a 1954 photograph by Bunny Yeager entitled “Bettie Page, Carol Jean Lauritzen, and Kathy Stanley Jumping (Key Biscayne, FL),” featuring the three titular graces floating above the water, suspended in motion. It’s not difficult to romanticize women on the sea — easier still when the image’s qualities (leisure, the tropics as an exotic space, whiteness) are no longer unquestionably associated with … +

Ali Smith (b. 1976, Newport Beach, CA) uses the canvas as an open space of exploration; an empty landscape that serves as the starting point for investigation into abstract terrains. Her work illustrates the existential plight the artist has in finding new, personal meaning and direction within the field of abstract painting. The recurring visual trope of Rococo-like excess and abundance performs … +

The eighth edition of ArtLab @ The Lowe is the result of the collaboration of undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a museum studies course during the spring 2017 semester, drawing on the impressive collection of the Lowe Art Museum. As the curators for the exhibition, the students selected the theme of fish in recognition of the importance of preserving the oceans … +

The purpose of this show is to pay homage to the birth of the Cuban Republic, founded on May 20th, 1902, and ending in 1959 with the Cuban Revolution. Historical … +

Structures is not an architectural photography exhibition per se, or at least not understood as having Architecture pose as a portrait subject matter in the show. Although heavily relying on Architecture, Structures explores the limits found within architectural lines to define Geometric Abstraction in Photography. Structures is a solo show that explores the recent works from Miami-based artistic photographer Lucy de la Vega. Her photographs are … +

Ray Smith’s work is as enigmatic as he is. Born in Texas and raised in Mexico, Ray is a Spanish-speaking New Yorker, with the air of a Texas cattle rancher. His work draws from Spanish Modernists and Surrealists, and materializes in a variety of media, often through a stream of consciousness approach. Smith is a painter, sculptor, installation artist and social experimenter. … +

  FLUCTUATIONS evokes a narrative in suspension from two different artists: Flávia Junqueira and George Goodridge. It is frequent in their works the presence of ambiguity of opposing concepts: order and entropy, nature and nurture, restraint and excess, mechanical and organic. Flávia Junqueira and George Goodridge share a particular interest in space, they both bring the concept of Art as an illusion … +

  The exhibition explores a grouping of original and multiple works from Post-war through today’s emerging art scene, highlighting similarities that bind ideas together as recognizable symbols over the course of 50+ years. The work is curated to represent one continuing narrative. “Time & Place” explores the question, “What will today’s artists make of present changes around them? What will they reflect … +
