“We are delighted to once again present and build upon the recent successes of Art Miami and CONTEXT, two distinct fairs that have truly become part of the cultural fabric of the city and Miami Art Week,” said Art Miami Director Nick Korniloff. “The special programming, exhibitions and installations at Art Miami are world-class, and we’re confident attendees will notice and enjoy each fairs’ growth and progressive direction this year.”
Curated exhibitions will be presented throughout the Art Miami and CONTEXT pavilions and outdoor courtyard. Highlights of this year’s special programs include: Perceived Values, Hot Spots, The Director’s Project, A Piece of Me, Art from Berlin, Miami Light Project, 1AN Symposium, a collection of unique Banksy works presented by Keszler Gallery, and a special auction of the official commemorative image created for Art Miami’s 25th Anniversary by cultural icon Jerry Powers.
“The exhibitions and programs at CONTEXT will be even bigger and more impressive than in previous years,” said CONTEXT Director Julian Navarro. “In addition to showcasing a solid group of international galleries, CONTEXT is unique in that it will feature a series of solo artist projects, curated spaces, unique programming, conversations and events – all aimed to immerse and entertain our attendees.”
HOT SPOTS, also curated by LaRete Art Projects’ esteemed team, positions provocative installations and projects by individual artists whose galleries are participating in the fairs. At Art Miami, the three artists on display are Jaildo Marinho (Durban Segnini Gallery), a Brazilian native whose work is focused on geometry and abstraction; Victor Matthews (KM Fine Arts), an internationally exhibited artist who has been working on the recognizable “White Paintings” series for past decade; and Antonio Pio Saracino (Todd Merrill Studio), an Italian-born artist, architect and designer who will present a marble sculpture “The Guardians: Hero” which is a reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s “David”. The 8,000-pound piece sits at 13-feet-high and is a permanent exhibition in New York City’s Bryant Park.
Art From Berlin offers insight into Berlin’s influential art scene with six contemporary galleries selected by a panel of Berlin-based curators and art critics.
