Dennis Scholl A Day of Four Sunsets

Dennis Scholl A Day of Four Sunsets On view October 18 through January 4
Dennis Scholl A Day of Four Sunsets On view October 18 through January 4
On view October 18 through January 4

A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking these of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos.  

Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon- a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown.  

As a filmmaker, Scholl has chronicled untold stories across art, music, and cultural history. His feature documentaries have explored a forgotten 1950s abstract painter, the rise of 1960s soul music in Miami, the vanishing Jewish communities of Miami Beach in the 1970s, a Cuban ballerina’s pursuit of freedom in the 1990s, and the voice of the greatest jazz singer of the 21st century. His films have been showcased at over 100 international film festivals, including Sundance, SXSW, and DOC NYC, earning numerous accolades, including 23 regional Emmys from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. His documentary The Last Resort was acquired by Netflix, and his latest film, Naked Ambition, examines the legacy of Miami’s legendary pinup photographer, Bunny Yeager. Scholl’s work—both visual and cinematic—questions how history is archived, remembered, and reframed, offering a conceptual dialogue between past and present. Through the excavation and reconfiguration of historical materials, he constructs a liminal space where personal and collective memory collide, forging new narratives from the remnants of the past. 

Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets

Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl presents a new body of work exploring the poetics of space exploration. Through assemblages of NASA memorabilia, Scholl reflects on astronaut John Glenn’s 1962 experience of witnessing four sunsets in a single day while orbiting Earth. These works evoke themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos.

Dennis Scholl is an award-winning documentary filmmaker focusing on arts and culture. His interview subjects have included Robert Redford, Frank Gehry, Wynton Marsalis, Ai Wei Wei, and Tracy Emin.

He also maintains a studio art practice focusing on assemblage of historical objects. He mines archival materials creating unexpected entanglements between memory, artifact and conceptual drawings.  Interrogating memory, Dennis uses source materials that reflect his own lived experience, like baseball cards, while also accessing more divergent historical and pop culture resources. His practice questions how we assign memory and value to objects and though it seems to conserve and resuscitate archival materials, it also reimagines its very forum. His work has been exhibited widely across Europe and in New York and Miami.  

He is the director of the feature documentary The Last Resort, which won the Miami Jewish Film Festival Audience Choice Award, received a national theatrical release, and screened on Netflix.

His newest documentary, Naked Ambition, tells the story of Bunny Yeager, a pin up model who became America’s greatest pin up photographer. The film debuted at DOC NYC and is currently playing at film festivals around the world. 

He previously released Lifeline, the story of 50s Ab Ex Painter, Clyfford Still, which is distributed by Kino Lorber. He also directed and produced Singular, a documentary on Cecile Mclorin Salvant, three-time jazz vocal Grammy winner, which was awarded Best Documentary by the Haiti International Film Festival and it is currently screening in syndication on public television stations across the US, via American Public Television.

His first feature documentary, Deep City – The Birth of the Miami Sound, premiered at the 2014 SXSW International Film Festival. 

 His second feature documentary, Queen of Thursdays, which he co-wrote and produced with noted Cuban filmmaker Orlando Rojas, had its world premiere at the Miami International Film Festival and was named Best Documentary.

He produced and directed Symphony in D, the story of America’s first crowdsourced symphony, performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. He also produced Sweet Dillard about the national champion Dillard High School jazz orchestra and their journey to the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz Lincoln Center.

He has received 23 regional Emmys from the National Academy of Television Arts and Science, all for documentaries on art and artists.

He is the director of Inside My Studio, a series of fifteen short films, exploring the art-making practices of some of the greatest visual artists in the world, including Ai Wei Wei, Wangechi Mutu, Doug Aitken, Vik Muniz, Catherine Opie, Robert Longo, and Njideka Akunyili Crosby.

He is the executive producer of six short films that debuted at the Sundance Film Festiva, including Yearbook, the winner of the 2014 Animated Short category at Sundance. He produced the animated short, The Sun Like a Big Dark Animal, which premiered at Sundance, along with Glove, which also premiered at Sundance and won Best Animated Short at SXSW. He also produced the experimental film Hearts of Palm and was executive producer of Namour and Leave the Bus Through the Broken Window.

His short film, Sunday’s Best, won Best Documentary Short at the South Dakota Film Festival. His film, Dancing with the Trees, won the Audience Choice Award at the Magnolia Film Festival. His film, Everyone has a Place, about Wynton Marsalis’ Abyssinian Mass concert tour, was named Best Documentary Short at the Capital Cities Black Film Festival and is currently screening on public television stations across America.

He is currently working on a documentary film about the relocation and installation of one of Richard Serra’s largest sculptural works of art.

Deborah Kruger: Environmental Fiber Art

Deborah Kruger: Environmental Fiber Art

By Milagros Bello, PhD – Art Critic and Curator

“My environmental fiber art honors endangered birds threatened by climate
change, using recycled materials informed by my textile training at FIT in New
York.” Deborah Kruger

“My pieces convey layered meaning about habitat fragmentation, bird migration, species extinction and loss of indigenous languages. My artwork is made with recycled plastic screen-printed with images of endangered birds and languages.”

Deborah Kruger’s artistic practice occupies a singular position within the expanded field of contemporary fiber art. Her monumental textile installations not only deploy the sensorial richness of feathers and plumage but also destabilize ornamental readings, situating themselves instead within a critical constellation of ecology, feminism, and postcolonial discourse. They unfold as semiotic landscapes in which ecological
devastation, cultural memory, and linguistic disappearance converge, offering the viewer an immersive encounter with beauty that simultaneously mourns loss and summons urgency.

Environmental Art/ The Anthropocene and the Aesthetics of Warning

Kruger’s work lies on what might be described as an ecological poetics—an articulation of fragility, resilience, and interconnection. Her use of recycled textiles made of recycled plastics, sewn, painted, silk-screened, and meticulously cut into cascading strips, mirrors the processes of both natural growth and ecological decay. Her practice resonates with Félix Guattari’s The Three Ecologies, which posits that environmental, social, and mental ecologies are inseparably entwined. Kruger’s textiles activate precisely this entanglement: they speak to the environmental crisis of avian extinction, the social reality of cultures in migration or disparition, and the psychological registers of mourning, memory, and survival of human communities.

The bird plumage is a recurring metaphor, and it works as a political signifier operating both as a celebration and as an alarm: a reminder of the aesthetic splendor of species under threat and a marker of their precarious status within the Anthropocene. Kruger’s oeuvre functions as a critique of the Anthropocene. By mobilizing beauty as both testimony and warning, her installations demand that extinction be understood not as abstraction but as embodied presence. The immersive quality of her work—its monumental scale, tactile density, and chromatic vibration—draws viewers into an ethical encounter: we are asked to witness and become conscious of our environment.

This dimension of witnessing aligns with contemporary discourses on art’s role in the ecological crisis. Thinkers such as Bruno Latour in Facing Gaia and Timothy Morton in Ecology Without Nature argue that aesthetics is indispensable to reconfiguring our relation to the environment. Kruger’s installations function precisely in this way: they seduce through form and color yet immediately confront us with the reality of loss.

Kruger situates her practice within a biopolitical level that foregrounds vulnerability and the systemic violence inflicted upon nonhuman and human life.

Feminism and the Reclamation of Textiles
Kruger’s practice also destabilizes entrenched hierarchies within art history, particularly the long-standing division between craft and high art. Textile traditions—frequently coded as feminine, domestic, and subordinate—are here magnified and monumentalized. By doing so, Kruger reclaims these practices as sites of intellectual and political agency, aligning her work with feminist strategies of reappropriation.
This feminist dimension is not simply about reclaiming craft but about exposing the historical mechanisms that relegated it to the margins. In dialogue with Rozsika Parker’s The Subversive Stitch, which foregrounded the radical potential of embroidery and textile, Kruger’s works mobilize as a critical and resistant medium. Attentive to indigenous textile traditions, diasporic narratives, and hybrid identities, her monumental scale and conceptual density approach reposition fiber art within contemporary discourse.

American artist Deborah Kruger has studios in the lively arts community in Durham, North Carolina and in the lakeside village of Chapala, Mexico, where she has a team-based production studio that provides jobs and empowerment to local Mexican women.

Postcolonial Resonances/ A Palimpsest of Disappearance

Kruger’s art intersects with postcolonial thought. In her works, she references cultural displacement and the erosion of indigenous existence. Her installations map the disappearance of languages, habitats, and collective memories. Her works act as gestures of interstitial hybrid arenas where identities are contested and reimagined. The fragmentation and layering in her textiles echo the condition of diasporic cultures, multiple, discontinuous, and constantly in flux. Each strip of fabric becomes a fragment of cultural history.

The works evoke ritual headdresses worn in tribal rituals, devotional mantles, and ancient women’s garments, in the recovery of marginalized legacies of our civilization.

Kruger’s surfaces operate as “palimpsests of disappearance.” The vertical strips layered and incised, with interwoven texts of lost languages, create a fractured field of reading. They suggest Jacques Derrida’s concept of différance—a perpetual deferral of meaning where signs remain fragmented, relational, and in motion, evoking the disappearance of cultures, environments, and territories.

This tension mirrors the threatened erasure of ecological and cultural diversity, just as species vanish and languages are lost, deferred, or displaced.

A Language of Resistance
Through this convergence of ecological poetics, feminist critique, and postcolonial resonance, Kruger’s practice articulates a language of resistance. Her works insist that fiber art can serve as a medium of urgency, one that embodies both the trauma of disappearance and the possibility of resilience. They challenge us to rethink hierarchies of art and craft, human and nonhuman, memory and oblivion.

By layering recycled fragments into monumental installations, Kruger stages an act of reclamation—of materials, of histories, and of ecologies. Each piece becomes a testimony to what remains and a warning of what might be lost. Her art, therefore, not only inhabits the aesthetic field but also contributes to an ethical reconfiguration of our relation to the world.

Kruger positions fiber art as a critical site of urgency and poetic resonance in the twenty-first century.

DOLLY AND OZ PRESENTS ANNOUNCES SOLO EXHIBITION BY PHOTOGRAPHER LYALL ASTON, “HERE YOU GO”

Miami Beach Art Gallery Debuts Aston’s First Solo Exhibition Showcasing Evocative, Light-Driven Works

Dolly and Oz Presents, a contemporary art gallery in South Beach committed to presenting boundary-breaking voices in modern art, is proud to announce its fall exhibition Here You Go by internationally acclaimed photographic artist Lyall Aston. Aston returns to the gallery with a visually arresting new body of work that expands the vocabulary of light, landscape and self-reflection. The exhibition will be on view beginning October 8, 2025, with an opening reception from 6-9 p.m., and run through November 16.

Building on the success of his previous exhibitions, Aston turns his lens inward with an emotionally charged yet editorially polished aesthetic. Known for his mastery of dramatic lighting and shadow, he draws on a nomadic upbringing across Africa, Europe, Asia and North America, where his lifelong dialogue with light began on film and evolved into digital photography.

Now based between Miami and New York, Aston channels this fluid geography into a collection that feels both intimate and provocative. Here You Go blurs the edges of memory with pop culture, fashion, and the realities of a social media-driven 21st century. Eclectic in scope, the work reflects Aston’s career evolution, personal growth, and fleeting moments of joy shaped by the multitude of voices, styles and influences that define modern life.

“This collection represents my personal journey through a time of rapid evolution—both in the world and within myself,” Aston shares. “Each piece is a different conversation with myself.”

Here You Go is more than a photographic exhibition; it is a meditation on what it means to move through shifting inner and outer landscapes, and an invitation for viewers to experience that journey through Aston’s unique lens.

In addition to more than 15 new works, Here You Go presents a curated selection from the artist’s earlier collections. Among them is the Post Chaste series—featuring “Benedictions of the Unholy” and “Veils of Dissent”—a striking black-and-white exploration of the tensions between the sacred and the sensual. The exhibition also includes The Sea Inside, a limited series of photographs that drift between consciousness and dreaming, with pieces such as “Liminal Space,” which traces the shifting threshold between waking and sleep; “Insomniac’s Ebb,” wanders through surreal mental landscapes; and “Fugue State,” which blurs the boundaries between body and environment. Rounding out the exhibition is “All The King’s Men,” a documentary-style homage to the regal traditions of London’s King’s Guard at Westminster.

The exhibition is part of Dolly and Oz Presents’ fall season, which aims to challenge traditional gallery conventions by focusing on emotional resonance and cultural relevance. The gallery, which has built a reputation for serving emerging collectors and spotlighting underrepresented artists, will continue its signature programming throughout the exhibition’s run. This includes its signature Wine Down Sunday series and other special events.

Dolly and Oz Presents will host a public artist meet-and-greet reception with Aston on October 8 from 6-9 p.m. A special edition of Wine Down Sunday will take place on October 19 from 6-9 p.m., featuring an artist talk with Aston, who will share insights into his creative process and personal journey in an intimate setting.

Dolly and Oz Presents is located at 715 Fifth St., Miami Beach, FL 33139. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Private appointments can be arranged by request. 

About Dolly and Oz Presents

Founded in 2022, Dolly and Oz Presents is a contemporary art gallery in the heart of South Beach, dedicated to showcasing bold, emotionally resonant work from emerging and underrepresented artists.

Carol Prusa’s solo exhibition at Bernice Steinbaum Gallery is a mesmerizing celebration of silverpoint, a centuries-old drawing medium she revitalizes with breathtaking precision and imagination. From the moment one enters the gallery, it is clear that the curation is meticulous — each piece feels like a carefully composed galactic poem, inviting viewers to explore both cosmic expansiveness and the intimate nuances of the artist’s hand.
Prusa’s technique is nothing short of extraordinary. The process — sandblasting panels, applying gesso, and layering silverpoint with titanium-white pigment — is notoriously difficult, yet she executes it with dreamlike mastery. The result is luminous, shimmering works that conjure star-like patterns across the gallery walls, revealing abstract geometries beneath the surface. These celestial forms evoke the vastness of the universe while retaining a quiet, meditative intimacy.
What makes Prusa’s work particularly compelling is its insistence on human presence in an increasingly digital age. Each fine, delicate line affirms the artist’s touch and invites viewers into a contemplative space, offering respite from the frenetic pace of contemporary life. In her hands, Silverpoint becomes more than a medium; it is a channel of communication, a bridge between material precision and poetic expression.
This exhibition demonstrates Prusa’s technical virtuosity and her ability to transform a historical medium into a contemporary, emotionally resonant experience. Every piece is a celestial journey, and the show is a testament to the enduring power of craft, imagination, and the human hand.
