UNTITLED, ART MIAMI BEACH
Dec 3 – Dec 8, 2019
Looks of Freedom II
A group exhibition in collaboration with For Freedoms at UNTITLED, ART Miami Beach
MIAMI BEACH — December 2019: For Freedoms — a national collective of artists, institutions, organizations, and people across the country who are experimenting with new and innovative pathways to civic participation — and Blackpuffin — a boutique company and interactive platform for artists, businesses and collectors to engage and motivate each other through curating and advising — and are pleased to co-present a special projects exhibition as part of 2019’s UNTITLED, ART Miami Beach.
Through explorations of material, architecture, language, and history, the exhibition seeks to expand conceptions of community as extensions of landscape. The artists included in this exhibition, through sculpture, portraiture, and landscape painting, investigate the relationships between personal identity and collective impact. Blackpuffin and For Freedoms strive to illuminate what has been made invisible in the sphere of cultural production, and to question who is seen and who is not.
On view at Untitled Booth 24A from December 3 to December 8, the list of exhibited artists includes Cassi Namoda, Cristina Lei Rodriguez, and Modou Dieng.
