A Long Poem: Take Time to…

Art has long been recognized as a powerful means of expression, but its role in society goes beyond mere aesthetics. Art has the ability to provoke thought, invite reflection, engage the audience, and stimulate emotion (1). Furthermore, art has the potential to inspire individuals to question and challenge the current state of reality, motivating them to seek positive change in society. Through the creation of visual representations, such as paintings, sculptures, and installations, artists can convey their perspectives on social issues, spark conversations, and raise awareness about critical topics like climate change. Additionally, art has the capacity to transcend language barriers and connect people from diverse backgrounds, fostering empathy and understanding. By showcasing different perspectives and challenging societal norms, art can disrupt established frameworks and encourage individuals to think critically about the world around them.

In summary, art has the power to transform minds, inspire change, and shape society by stimulating emotions, fostering dialogue, promoting empathy, and questioning prevailing norms and beliefs

Abstract
In “A Long Poem: Take Time to …”, I relate how the people on one city block engaged in a community based “long poem” art project during the Covid-19 pandemic. Arranged in two parts, this paper first looks at the literature on community art and its impact on personal and social health and wellbeing. Second, I describe how a street community art and poetry project led to social engagement, dialogue, healthy interaction, and good memories.

Presentan libro de fotos sobre Messi y la selección argentina el 11 de diciembre

Al cumplirse un año de la consagración de la selección argentina como campeona del mundo de fútbol y de Lionel Messi como el mejor jugador de esta Era, el reconocido periodista especializado Eduardo Biscayart presenta en Miami. El libro “Sean eternos los campeones” tiene fotos de Alejandro Pagni y textos de Eduardo Biscayart. La presentación del libro se realizará el lunes 11 de diciembre, a las 6 pm, en la librería Books and Books, de Coconut Grove. “Sean eternos los campeones (El camino de Argentina hacia la victoria en Qatar 2022)”, recrea el periplo de la Selección Argentina rumbo a la consecución de su tercer título Mundial, conseguido el 18 de diciembre pasado. El libro ilustra ese recorrido a través de fotografías únicas. Imágenes exclusivas de Alejandro Pagni (reportero gráfico con más de 45 años de experiencia en los medios más prestigiosos de Argentina y el Mundo), que son acompañadas por los textos de Eduardo Biscayart (comentarista de fútbol en medios como Telemundo, ESPN y Fox Sports, entre otros, con más de 25 años de experiencia en televisión). Los capítulos de este trabajo reflejan en imágenes cada partido de Argentina en el Mundial de Qatar 2022, desde la derrota del equipo de Messi y Scaloni en el debut frente Arabia Saudita hasta la dramática final ante Francia. Cada episodio va acompañado de una síntesis estadística que complementa el trabajo fotográfico y el texto. “Hicimos el libro con alegría, entusiasmo y mucho amor por la profesión”, manifiestan Biscayart y Pagni, que cubrieron periodísticamente el Mundial en Qatar. “Sean eternos los campeones” incluye también casi una decena de artículos especiales escritos por cronistas de élite, más impresiones de los ex campeones mundiales Mario Kempes (Argentina ‘78) y Jorge Luis Burruchaga (Argentina ‘86)

Venezuelan artist Rafael Montilla to present new series “United We Are Art” during Miami Art Week

Venezuelan artist Rafael Montilla will present his new series “United We Are Art” (The union of people creates something beautiful and meaningful, such as a work of art, a poem, a song, or any other expression of creativity.) during the Miami Art Week, which will take place from December 2 to 5. The series will consist of 9 works of vibrant and warm colors, representing the union between humans and nature.

“The Street Is My Gallery” is the name of the three individual exhibitions of Montilla during the Miami Art Week. The first exhibition will open on Saturday, December 2 at 9 a.m. at the Legion Park (6447 NE 7th Ave, Miami, Florida, 33138). The second exhibition will take place on Sunday, December 3 at the Coral Gables Woman’s Club (1001 E Ponce De Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, Florida, 33134). The third and final exhibition will take place on Tuesday, December 5 at 9 a.m. in the Midtown Miami park, near Starbucks (3403 NE 1st Ave, Miami, Florida, 33137).

“United We Are Art” is a series that seeks to highlight the importance of the connection between humans and nature. “A city without art in the street is a city without soul,” said Montilla. “We must let young people express themselves, whether with graffiti, street art, or urban art. Urban art is an important form of communication and expression, and it can help create more vibrant and creative communities.”

Montilla is a visual artist based in Miami. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. He is known for his colorful artwork and the performance “Kube Man”, which explore themes of the evolution of consciousness and nature. His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including Tomás Regalado, mayor of the city of Miami, proclaimed August 19, 2016 as Rafael Montilla Visual Artist Day and placed public art in the city of Miramar, FL in January 2024.

Locust Projects: Meet the Artists Reception and Performance

Join Locust Projects, Miami’s longest running nonprofit alternative art space, in its new home in Little River for a reception to meet exhibiting artists Tania Candiani and Cornelius Tullo. The event will include a special performance by Tania Candiani, and refreshments will be provided. For Miami Art Week, Locust Projects is featuring two new commissioned installations including, Waterbirds: Migratory Sound Flow by Mexico-based artist Tania Candiani. The work, originally commissioned for the 23rd Biennale of Sydney and re-imagined for Miami, is a hanging “river” made with tree branches collected from a riverbank in Mexico, many of which are also native to South Florida. The massive, suspended organic shape will respond to Locust Projects’ architecture and reference the waterways and migratory path and birdsong of water birds that pass through the Everglades and South Florida. On view in the Project Room is Poetics of Place, an interactive architectural installation recreating a porch of a Miami home by Miami-based artist Cornelius Tulloch that foreshadows a future impacted by climate gentrification and the rapid development that threatens to erase the cultural fabric of our growing city.

Special ProjectsPerformances

SP1
Gerd Leufert
NENIAS (1969/2023)
Site-specific installation
Vinyl
Dimensions variable
Edition of 5 + AP each
Presented by Henrique Faria, B11

Leufert used the name “Nenias” to identify a series of figures he started to develop as a theme in the early sixties. The conventional meaning of the term comes from music, where it refers to certain very old songs or lamentations which belonged to funerary rites.

These essential forms, adapted now in a new space and for a new spectator, recall their first large-scale installation at Caracas’ Museo de Bellas Artes in 1985. In the then newly formed series of Nenias from 1969, Leufert configured these refined and symmetrical totemic structures from the encounter between the notions of art and design. Here he fused together ancestral cosmogonies with contemporary figures able to transcend the diverse currents of anthropological and indigenist thought. Simultaneously geometric and organic, the Nenias emerge as atemporal and original representations situated in the cultural space of the collective imaginary.

SP2
Manfred Mohr
Early Plotter Drawings (circa 1970)
Plotter drawings on paper
Presented by bitforms, B52

Manfred Mohr utilizes algorithms to engage rational aesthetics, inviting logic to produce visual outcomes. This special project highlights a selection of the artist’s earliest computer-generated plotter drawings (circa 1970) and showcases his first implementation of the hypercube through the seminal video work, Cubic Limit (1973-74). While Mohr’s career continues to evolve and invite new variables, this special project distinguishes his pioneering use of algorithms decades before it became a tool of contemporary art.

Mohr wrote his first algorithm using the programming language Fortran IV in 1969. He plotted the resulting computer-generated data by hand, an exhausting and unsustainable process of intricate drafting. Systems capable of drawing the results of algorithms were not easily accessible at this time. In 1970, Mohr gained unique access to the computer center at the Météorologie Nationale in Paris where he used a high-resolution Benson plotter and CDC 6400 computer. There he realized all his programs and plotter drawings until he moved full time to New York in 1983, where he established his own computer center, including a high-resolution vector pen plotter. The resultant diversity of his artwork confirmed the urgency and aesthetic significance of his algorithms. Over fifty years later, the connections Mohr establishes between aesthetics and instruction continue to stimulate dialogue within the contemporary art world.

SP3
Vera Chaves Barcellos
Epidermic Scapes (1977-2022)
Inkjet print on cotton paper
Presented by Zielinsky, B15

Epidermic Scapes (1977-2022) is a work by Vera Chaves Barcellos (1938, Porto Alegre, Brazil) which consists of a series of images of the artist’s skin, and of other people, enlarged to such an extent that their indexical function is lost as they begin to take on a more abstract appearance. The artist created each image by applying black ink to various parts of her body, over which she then rubbed a piece of tracing paper, effectively creating a negative, which she then enlarged. Her intention was to expand the images to such an extent that they could be displayed on the floor or wall in a monumental way and as if they were terrestrial landscapes. This work recently became part of the Museo Reina Sofía collection.

From the beginning of her career, Vera Chaves Barcellos has been interested in the reuse of pre-existing images taken from the media to develop works using video, photography, engraving, installation and artists’ books. The artist’s research takes as its starting point the relationship between the body and time: performing characters and narratives from the past and the future, focusing on stories that were left out of historiography, documenting and collecting archive materials from local events or from personal memory.

SP4
Henrik Godsk
Carousel 1884, 2023
Oil on canvas installed on lit steel frame
Presented by Vigo, B1

Godsk is of seventh-generation traveling heritage, having grown up among the world of the fun fair in Denmark. His practice reflects his pride in his upbringing and cultural identity. Across his works, fusing folkloric and high art, he utilizes the portraits and creatures that form his subjects as vessels for his exploration of color and form. Carousel 1884, which is a modernist reworking of a family heirloom, functions as a gesamtkunstwerk; a fair within a fair that is also emblematic of the artist’s own sentiments of nostalgia about his heritage.

The formal components of the artwork are inseparable from the artist’s time spent as a child painting the panels and façades during renovations of the rides. At 12, he began to design and paint them himself; at 15, he came across books about Picasso and Modigliani, the latter’s elongated necks and distorted, flattened proportions heavily influencing Godsk’s current œuvre. The controlled brushwork, geometric lines, flat surfaces, and tight compositions of the artist’s cubistic portraits act as a conduit for his personal exploration of classically modernist forms. The androgynous and striking shapes of the artist’s portraits are directly reminiscent of the accentuated designs of these fairground rides, and Carousel 1884 further emulates this through a mimicking of the circa 3.5-metre height required by carousels to draw a crowd.

SP5
April Bey, Petra Cortright, Christine Sun Kim, Hana Ward
Limited Edition Prints (2023)
Presented by For Freedoms

For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that centers art as a catalyst for creative civic engagement, discourse and direct action. We work closely with artists and organizations to expand what participation in democracy looks like. In service to this mission, For Freedoms is excited to present a series of limited edition prints by April Bey, Petra Cortright, Christine Sun Kim, and Hana Ward. Each of these artists has collaborated with For Freedoms on past public campaigns to make a positive impact on the communities we share. Shop the collection at shop.forfreedoms.com.

SP6
Kelley Johnson
Fleeting Fragments of Time 15/45 (2023)
Chrome powder-coated steel and glass

Kelley Johnson Studio will present a functional sculpture within this year’s Untitled Art Podcast Lounge. In conjunction with the awarded Rado Production Prize sculpture in the fair’s interstitial space, Fleeting Fragments of Time 15/45 (2023), features an interplay of light over the chrome surfaces, so that participants’ interactions will continuously reshape the work’s interpretation.

SP7
Luis Ortiz Monasterio
Luis Ortiz Monasterio X Marea (2022)
Concrete, volcanic rock, painted plaster, and cement
Presented by Ediciones Marea

Marea has collaborated with the Pedro Reyes Studio for the elaboration of five selected works from the repertoire of Luis Ortiz Monasterio in a meticulous reconstruction work assisted by the artist’s family. Luis Ortiz Monasterio (1906-1990) was a sculptor and teacher, and founder of the so-called Mexican School of Sculpture.

With a career spanning more than sixty years, Ortiz Monasterio is one of the main figures of Mexican sculpture in the 20th century. His work transited from nationalism to the emerging avant-garde, with both American (Toltec and Aztec) and global influences. Among his most recognized works are Monumento a la madre (1949), Fuente monumental de Nezahualcóyotl (1955-1956) and Plaza Cívica de la Unidad Independencia (1960). This project, consisting of an exceptional collection of limited edition pieces will mark the first-ever presentation of these works by Ortiz Monasterio’s outside of Mexico.

SP8
Karian Amaya
Open Sky, Mirage (2023)
Copper, sea water, and salt
Presented by YI GALLERY, A41

Open Sky, Mirage (2023) is an ongoing exploration by Karian Amaya into the transformations of matter and its effects when placed in varying geographical contexts. Inspired by the aesthetics of exploitation and extraction of natural resources, this presentation seeks to encapsulate the passage of time, serving as both a record and memory of a place. As the minerals in the copper pools change and evaporate, they create distinct pools, each capturing a unique visual representation of time.

SP9
Awilda Sterling-Duprey
Blindfolded (2020 and ongoing)
Performance and mixed media on vinyl
Presented by El Kilómetro, A35

Awilda Sterling-Duprey´s Blindfolded dance drawings are a series of works that began in 2020, where the artist blindfolds herself to make abstract marks on papers mounted on walls in response to salsa and/or jazz improvisation. Fusing Afro-Caribbean dance, music, drawing, and performance, Sterling-Duprey translates the music through her body into dance movements on the paper´s surface with sharp actions and a sense of playfulness. The currents of sound are drawn by expressing dance and improvising tonal and chromatic scales from the salsa and jazz.

Works by Paul Loughney, Gaia Adducchio, Sonia Hamza, and Akshita Gandhi’s are curated by Sophie Lefevbre with Amanda Mullen curating iconic photographs by Bert Stern. Paul Dreq and Ed Cristin curate an Andy Sweet collection. The Betsy’s growing permanent collection and long-term artist partnerships are celebrated with Betsy Principal Curator Lesley Goldwasser highlighting work by Tamary Kudita, Charlie Spot, Nadia Huggins, Bunny Yeager, Carlos Andres Cruz, Robert Zuckerman, Val Kilmer, Robin Hill, and Ray Tenorio – on walls and in halls throughout the property. The Betsy Poetry Rail – a poetically-inspired installation, designed by architect Allan Shulman – is illuminated nightly, with artist Carlos Betancourt projecting film and images onto #thebetsyorb and environs in a project commissioned by the City of Miami Beach No Vacancy program. The Betsy’s Exhibitions will be open for self-guided tours starting on December 1, 2023. The Betsy’s Art Opening hosted by the Audace Initiative Morocco on Dec 7, 2023 from 5 to 8 PM is free and open to the public.

Art in Public Places is a City of Miami Beach program for curating and commissioning public art. The program was created in 1984, with its ordinance adopted in 1995. The program allocates funds totaling 2% of hard costs for City Projects and joint private/public Projects. Appointed by the City Commission, the AiPP Committee’s seven members serve in an advisory capacity to the Mayor and City Commission. Artworks commissioned by the City of Miami Beach Art in Public Places should add value to the public art collection, attract international attention and celebrate the diversity and heritage of Miami Beach.

Legacy Purchase Program

The City of Miami Beach Art in Public Places (“AiPP”) program will acquire an artwork from Art Basel Miami Beach for accession into the City’s public art collection—and we need your help! The selected artwork(s) will join the City’s permanent public art collection, and will be displayed within a dedicated, publicly accessible area of the Miami Beach Convention Center (“MBCC”).

Art in Public Places is a City of Miami Beach program for curating and commissioning public art. The program was created in 1984, with its ordinance adopted in 1995. The program allocates funds totaling 2% of hard costs for City Projects and joint private/public projects. Funding for the Legacy Purchase Program is dedicated through the Art in Public Places program. Maintenance and conservation of the piece will fall under Art in Public Places Fund 147 and the City’s AiPP guidelines.

The City’s AiPP Committee will narrow down the submissions to three (3) works of art, and will ask the public to select their favorite artwork. Voting will be open from Wednesday, December 6 at 8PM to Thursday, December 7 at 8PM. The work of art with the most votes will be announced on Friday, December 8 at 10 a.m. and will be acquired by the City at that time.

Congratulations to the winner of the 2022 Annual Legacy Purchase Program, Juana Valdés, Spinello Projects.
We are excited to acquire Colored Bone China Rags into the City of Miami Beach Public Art Collection.
