Carolina Lozada Todo es lo que parece

Monroy Editor se complace en presentar un nuevo título de narrativa venezolana: Todo es lo que parece, de la escritora Carolina Lozada, autora también de El perro estar (2019), El cuarto del loco (2014), La culpa es del porno (2013), entre otras, y cuya obra es reconocida como una de las más sobresalientes de su generación. Esta publicación es la quinta dentro de la Colección de Narrativa Contemporánea de la casa editorial, y ya disponible tanto en formato impreso como digital.

La novela se sumerge en la historia de una mujer de mediana edad  y de esta época. Aunque la frase “una mujer que busca pareja y desgraciadamente la encuentra” podría resumir la trama, esta novela va más allá, explorando la complejidad de sus personajes, situaciones disparatadas, erotismo y opiniones que se entrelazan en una estupenda narración en la que el humor negro está siempre presente.

La presentación de Todo es lo que parece será el día jueves 14 de diciembre, a las 5:00 pm hora de Venezuela, vía Zoom. Liliana Lara, Magdalena López y Violeta Rojo sostendrán una conversación con Carolina Lozada, en torno a la novela; Violeta Rojo, coordinadora de la Colección de Narrativa Contemporánea de Monroy Editor, moderará el encuentro.

Todo es lo que parece de Carolina Lozada, El dibujo de la isla de Fedosy Santaella, Cálidas ruinas de Rubi Guerra, Preámbulo de Antonio López Ortega, El oscvro señor V de Norberto José Olivar y Diorama de Ana Teresa Torres se pueden adquirir en las librerías El Buscón, Kalathos, Sopa de Letras y Libroria, Insomnia, Alejandría en Caracas, y en TecniBooks en Porlamar, y El mundo del libro, en Cumaná. También se pueden encontrar en formato digital e impresión por demanda en Amazon.

La información y novedades de la editorial, se encuentran en su web (www.monroyeditor.com), y la cuenta @monroyeditor tanto en Instagram como en Twitter.

Whitehot Magazine Article
by Lorien Suárez-Kanerva

Andy Moses’ Recent Paintings will be showcased at the William Turner Gallery in Los Angeles from September 9 until November 11, 2023. Moses Recent Paintings’ distinct color use encompasses a predominantly white, blue, black and gold palette. All-white color tints, shades, and their lustrous variability are at play amidst clear, sharper, fluid lines, and softer open gradations, leading toward ethereal spaces. Moses’s sensibility spans a buoyantly luminous subtlety and achieves a refined definition through a meticulously grounded and richly orchestrated embodied perception. Maurice Merleau-Ponty pointed to embodied perception as the experience of the self in an environment at the crucible towards forms of relatedness that reveal meaning and expand perception.

Fiber Birren, Johannes Itten, and Carl Jung address the subject of color each through a psychological vantage point, cultural nuances (like Jung’s groundbreaking study of mandalas of the East by introducing these to the West), and Color Theory. The sensorial effects of color suggest a responsive universality based on similarities that bridge cultural bounds. In his works “Color and Meaning” and “Color and Culture,” John Cage supports these observations on color’s meaningful effect on sensorial understanding across cultures. Most salient in Moses’ works is the combination of white and blue, where black shifts through a reflective play with light toward shades of blue. From these earlier scholars’ observations, colors such as whites speak of clarity, illumination, and spirituality, and blues inspire serene tranquility and introspective depth.
As a countertone, gold’s earliest cultural associations with the sun’s radiant power extend the hue’s significance to encompass wealth and prominence. For Jung, gold represented the self’s individuation process, stimulating wisdom and enlightenment—likewise, Itten and Birren associated illumination and divine inspiration with gold. Extensively, gold in East Asia, including Japanese 18th-century iconography, signifies wealth, power, good fortune, and divinity.

Moses shares the American Transcendentalists’ numinously intuitive perception of nature alongside the critical figures of Thoreau, Whitman, Emmerson, and their predecessor, the Canadian Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Poetry such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s lines from his poem “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” are evident in Moses’ paintings, and they highlight a kinship, reveling in transcendental sensibilities grounded in the human experience of nature and its patterns throughout time. “The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands.”

Geodesy 1514, Acrylic on canvas over circular wood panel, 72 in diameter, 2023

“Lives of great men all remind us.
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of time.”

Geodesy 1515, Acrylic on canvas over circular wood panel, 72 in diameter, 2023

Similarly, Moses perceived an affinity and kinship from the East with Ryukyuan lacquerware for its craftsmanship and conceptual design motif through his introduction while viewing LACMA’s “The Five Directions: Lacquer from the Ryukyu Islands” exhibition. This iconography and the craft itself of creating a painstaking layering of resin polished into lacquer was characteristic of Japan’s Ryukyu Islands from the 18 th century. The motif speaks of benevolent mystical forms seeking wisdom in East Asian cultural iconography. One particular piece in LACMA’s exhibition, a circular tray, inspired his painting titled Geodesy 1515. The matter of the enlightenment is also poetically crafted as an adornment – Dragons Chasing the Flaming Pearl. The Flaming Pearl holds as its essence the themes of wisdom within a spiritual scope. At the same time, the dragons culturally appear as strong protective forms that control natural elements.

Circular Tray with Dragons Chasing a Flaming Pearl, Black Lacquer on Wood Core with Mother of Pearl Inlay, 3.5 x 35.25 in, Ryukyu Islands, 1700-1800, LACMA Permanent Collection.

The American transcendentalist ethos, presented in the poem “Come, said my soul” by Whitman, attests eloquently to their literary movements’ vision of universal unity. Their writings draw deeply from their dedicated contemplation and communion with nature. This is akin to the sensibility the mystics have shared throughout time.

Geomorphology 1608, Acrylic on canvas over concave wood panel, 57 x 90 in, 2023

“Come, said my soul,
Such verses for my body let us write, (for we are one,)
That should I after death invisibly return,
Or, long, long hence, in other sphere,
There to some group of mates the chants resuming,
(Tallying earth’s soil, trees, winds, tumultuous waves,)
Ever with pleas’d smile I may keep on, Ever and ever yet the verses
owning – as, first, I here and now,
Singing for soul and body, set to them by name,
Walt Whitman

Andy Moses’s paintings attest to this universal transcendence, poetically defined, and breathtakingly revealing its cultural lineage’s kinship.

ARTECHOUSE ANNOUNCES “FUTURE SKETCHES / CODE POEMS”

ARTECHOUSE ANNOUNCES “FUTURE SKETCHES / CODE POEMS” BY CODING ARTIST AND INTERACTIVE MEDIA PIONEER ZACH LIEBERMAN OPENING DURING MIAMI ART WEEK

Reimagining the Boundaries of Art, Technology, and Expression, Digital Art Exhibition Opening on December 6 Explores New Forms of Human Expression and Play Through Coding and Technology 

 ARTECHOUSE, a pioneer in innovative, experiential art and the leading contemporary art space dedicated exclusively to technology-based art,  is proud to announce its upcoming collaboration and digital art exhibition in Miami Beach titled “Future Sketches / Code Poems” by renowned artist, researcher, and educator Zach Lieberman. The exhibition marks the next chapter in Lieberman’s journey, exploring the poetry within computation and pushing the boundaries of creative coding as an expressive medium. The exhibition will open to the public during Miami Art Week on December 6, 2023, and remain on display through May 2024.  

ARTECHOUSE’s collaboration with Lieberman represents the latest in its series of groundbreaking collaborations with visionary artists working at the intersection of art and technology. “Future Sketches / Code Poems” builds upon the success of Lieberman’s inaugural solo exhibition at ARTECHOUSE DC in 2020. Through a series of installations, Lieberman and his MIT Media Lab students reveal the poetry in computation, and encourage visitors to let their boundless imaginations take the lead when it comes to modern technology.

“In a world driven by innovation, ‘Future Sketches / Code Poems’ underscores the importance of fostering artistic innovation,” said Sandro Kereselidze, founder and Chief Creative Officer of ARTECHOUSE. “We are thrilled to showcase Zach Lieberman’s pioneering work. This collaboration continues ARTECHOUSE’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of experiential art, celebrating the dynamic intersection of creativity and technology. ‘Future Sketches / Code Poems’ is not just an exhibition; it’s a testament to the power of art to shape the future, and we can’t wait for the world to experience it as we redefine the art landscape.”

Listed as one of Fast Company’s “Most Creative People” and a dynamic pioneer in interactive media and coding, Lieberman creates artwork with code and focuses on building experimental drawing and animation tools. Drawing from over a decade of work and research in media art, the exhibition explores how technology can transform the human body, voice, and gesture in expressive and imaginative ways. “Future Sketches / Code Poems” serves as a love letter to the fields of animation, interaction and computation, celebrating the convergence of art and technology. 

“I believe that the projects should never be about technology,” stated Zach Lieberman. “Technology should always be in service of the idea. The idea should be something that is poetic or that tells us about what it means to be human. When I create work, I don’t want people to point at it and say, ‘that’s amazing software.’ I want them to say, ‘that’s a beautiful idea, that helped me see in a new way, or that made my day better.’”

“Future Sketches,” a part of the exhibition’s title, draws inspiration from the late designer and founding member of the MIT Media Lab, Muriel Cooper, and her description of creating sketches for the future” and her vision of software as a medium for art and design. A distinctive aspect of the exhibition, Lieberman’s students from the MIT Media Lab will be involved and contribute their work to the showcase. The second part of the exhibition’s title, “Code Poems,” alludes to Lieberman’s daily practice, started in 2016, of creating small poems with code, blurring the lines between design, art and magic. 

The exhibition will be divided into 19 distinctive installations that allow visitors to explore how code plays a role in creativity. Concepts covered include (but are not limited to) creative process and iteration, body and performance, painting with your voice, and augmented reality masks. 

Key highlights of the exhibition include:

  • Daily Sketches: Lieberman’s daily sketches that provide a glimpse into the possibilities of creative coding, graphical form and animation.
  • Manual Input Sessions: Interactive installations that encourage visitors to engage with audio visual expression  in a playful and hands-on manner.
  • Re-Coded: An exploration of how code informs visual expression.
  • Expression Mirror: An immersive experience where visitors can see their own emotions reflected through others. 
  • Reflection Studies: An interactive exhibit that invites participants to explore principles of light such as  reflection and refraction. 

The exhibition carries a significant cultural context. In the ever-evolving landscape of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Lieberman’s innovative fusion of art and code resonates deeply with the themes of contemporary renaissance and the interdependence of humanity and technology. “Future Sketches / Code Poems” challenges conventional perceptions in an era dominated by AI and digitization, presenting a compelling vision of a more empathetic and imaginative technological future. Lieberman’s dual identity as an artist and educator, with ties to institutions like the School for Poetic Computation and the MIT Media Lab, underscores the importance of knowledge-sharing and continuous learning in art. In a world where commercial forces shape conversations around technology, this exhibition champions the pivotal role of artists and designers in envisioning futures that are both more expressive and playfully creative.

“Future Sketches / Code Poems” will leave visitors asking, “How can computers help us understand what is human and unique about us?” and “What does code feel like?” Through his art, Lieberman displays human gestures and amplifies them in different ways, such as by making drawings come to life, imagining what the voice might look like if we could see it, and transforming silhouettes into music.

ARTECHOUSE Miami will host a media and VIP preview of “Future Sketches / Code Poems” by Zach Lieberman on December 5, 2023. The exhibit will open to the public on December 6. For press passes and media inquiries, contact [email protected]

Elizabeth Acevedo ha afirmado que “Sabiduría familiar” es “pasado, presente y mañana; es belleza, poesía y nuestros miedos más profundos. Son mis parientes, vivos y ancestrales, y mi devoción por escribir sobre mi gente de una manera llena de ternura, integridad y honestidad aguda”. Para New York Times Book Review, la novela habla de “deleitarse ante la oportunidad de vivir”. Para la célebre escritora domínico americana Julia Álvarez, la de Acevedo  “es una nueva y fuerte voz con un alma antigua y una profunda comprensión de quiénes somos”. “Sabiduría familiar” ha sido publicado en inglés con el título de “Family Lore” y fue traducido al español por Kianny N.

Five gallery shows not to miss in South Florida during Art Basel Miami Beach

Among the highlights are new silk paintings by Su Su, Andrew Brischler’s foray into the figurative, and a series of shows celebrating Queer joy, struggle, and resilience

As art lovers converge for this year’s edition of Art Basel Miami Beach, galleries join the week’s celebration of creativity with their own compelling exhibitions. From Miami’s burgeoning gallery districts and Palm Beach’s elegant art spaces to out-of-town pop-ups, the following they are hosting diverse shows that collectively underscore a moment of introspection and cultural dialogue in the art world. They reflect not only on the artists’ personal journeys but also engage with broader societal conversations, creating wide-ranging experiences that resonate with the dynamic spirit of the moment.

Enrique Martínez Celaya
‘White: A Telling Shroud, Recent Paintings 2019–2023’
Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Miami
December 3, 2023 – January 20, 2024

Cuba-born artist Enrique Martínez Celaya brings his diverse background in physics, poetry, and humanities to his paintings, infusing them with a deep, profoundly poetic – almost existentialist – sensibility. His works from the past 5 years, on view in this show, are enigmatic, merging philosophical meditations with visual experiences that explore the intersections of technology, nature, and the human condition. In The sparrow (2020), for instance, Martínez Celaya presents a haunting image of a young boy floating in a vast expanse, ambiguously merging a starry sky and dark water. Above the boy, Martínez Celaya wrote the poetic text: ‘likes to talk and I got the time’. Rendered in a monochromatic palette of black, white, and grey, the piece exudes a dreamlike and ethereal quality, prompting contemplation on the fluid boundaries between reality and imagination, and the transience of human experience.

‘Impressions’
David Castillo, Miami
December 5, 2023 – January 27, 2024

‘Impressions’, a solo show by Beijing-born, New York-based artist Su Su, features a series of works on silk that are as technically innovative as they are aesthetically rich. To create the works, the artist meticulously injects oil paint into swathes of silk using a needle. This technique, Su Su’s own creation, challenges and redefines traditional approaches to oil painting while simultaneously yielding a richly textured and visually arresting effect. Su Su’s journey from Beijing to Brooklyn profoundly influenced her practice, leading to a fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetic sensibilities; her vibrant colors and distorted forms reflect a certain ambivalence about her place in the world – one that is informed by both her Chinese heritage and her experiences in the United States.

‘Gay Era’
Spinello Projects, Miami
December 4, 2023 – January 13, 2024

Focusing on moments of Queer joy, struggle, and resilience, Spinello Projects presents ‘Gay Era’, a project encompassing five solo exhibitions in three locations and showcasing how contemporary Queer artists are reshaping the boundaries of figurative painting. In ‘My Bones To Blossom’, Barnaby Whitfield merges permaculture concepts with Queer narratives, crafting a vision where Queerness and nature exist in harmonious, allegorical landscapes. The paintings in Giorgio Celin’s ‘Do You Remember? – Feeling, Queerness, Exile’ interweave personal and collective histories, delving into the intricacies of identity and the experience of displacement from a Queer migrant’s perspective. In ‘Jardín del Deseo’, Juan Arango Palacios’s woven narratives reimagine the male form, blending soft eroticism with bold vulnerability and simultaneously challenging societal norms while creating a fantastical haven of safety and freedom. Lastly, ‘Alle de Lágrimas / Valley of Tears’, dedicated to the late Adolfo Rene Sanchez, showcases a captivating series of vibrant canvases. Inspired by 1970s Mexican fotonovelas, the works are a meditation on transience and endurance, paying tribute to Queer resilience.

‘Forms’
Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch
35 Northeast 40th Street, Miami
December 5–10, 2023

For the eighth year, Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch are jointly hosting an expansive pop-up exhibition during Art Basel Miami Beach. Titled ‘Forms’, this year’s show navigates the fertile ground between abstraction and figuration, exploring how objects act as proxies for human reality. Among the notable works, Tauba Auerbach’s painting Foam (2023) captures the essence of air bubbles in acrylic, straddling the line between realism and abstraction. Nari Ward’s Soul Arch Fixed (2021) transforms a surfboard into a modern crucifix, juxtaposing physical activity with spiritual apotheosis and suggesting a profound connection between the two realms. Meanwhile, Albert Oehlen’s ‘Ömega Man’ (2023) series and Theaster Gates’s THIS WAY (2021) both explore human forms and activity, with Oehlen drawing from dystopian sci-fi inspirations and Gates using salvaged materials to echo human presence.

Andrew Brischler
‘Self Portraits’
Gavlak, Palm Beach
Through December 17, 2023

Andrew Brischler takes a bold leap from his familiar territory of geometric abstraction into a realm where the human form and cinematic allure entwine. The new works on view in ‘Self Portraits’ offer a tableau of intimate self-exploration, where iconic movie heroines become mirrors of Brischler’s Queer identity. With titles like Self Portrait (as Ripley)Self Portrait (as Elvira), and Self Portrait (as Leeloo) (all works from 2023), the paintings weave elements of the artist’s persona together with their titular characters. To create the works, Brischler blends obsession and reverence, painstakingly rewatching films to imbue each character with his essence. This process of what he calls ‘devotion’ results in a meticulous rendering of every detail, from a gaze caught in a moment of resolve to the nuanced play of light. Delving into the depths of Queer identity, its intricate connection to feminine strength, and the influence of media in shaping self-perception, Brischler’s ‘Self Portraits’ are more than just visual feasts; they are statements on the fluidity of identity.

THE REEFLINE PUTS CLIMATE CRISIS CENTER STAGE DURING MIAMI ART WEEK 2023 WITH INSTALLATIONS BY BEEPLE, ALISSA ALFONSO, GUIDO ELGUETA AND +X PHASE 1 OF AQUATIC SCULPTURE PARK AND ARTIFICIAL REEF WILL DEBUT SPRING 2024, UNITING ART AND SCIENCE TO SAVE THE OCEAN

“THIS SERIES OF ARTIST-DESIGNED AND SCIENTIST-INFORMED PURPOSE-BUILT REEFS WILL DEMONSTRATE TO THE WORLD HOW TOURISM, ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, AND THE CREATION OF CRITICAL HABITAT CAN BE ALIGNED. THE REEFLINE IS A SINGULAR INVESTMENT IN CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC ART, AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION THAT WILL PAY DIVIDENDS OVER THE COMING DECADES AND ATTRACT ECOLOGICALLY MINDED TOURISTS AND ART LOVERS.”

– Ximena Caminos –
Founder / Artistic Director

The ReefLine, a nonprofit public art initiative spearheaded Bluelab Preservation Society Founder, Ximena Caminos, has launched a free public showcase of climate-centered art during Miami Art Week to raise awareness for the city of Miami Beach’s increasing vulnerability to climate change. The showcase, hosted in partnership with Faena Art, will take place from December 5-10 throughout the Faena Miami Beach property and will feature works by renowned artists including Beeple, Alissa Alfonso, Guido Elgueta and +X. The multi-artist showcase is a preamble to the launch of the ReefLine’s larger initiative, a sprawling 7-mile underwater sculpture park, snorkel trail, and artificial reef positioned 600 feet off the Miami Beach shoreline, set to kick-start Phase 1 installations this December.

“Miami is a city on the forefront of the climate crisis. The coastal beauty that draws people in is increasingly at risk of devastation. With Miami Art Week drawing international attention, it’s the optimal time to raise awareness for climate change and the city’s need for coastal resilience. That’s exactly what The ReefLine is doing through both our Miami Art Week showcase, and more permanently, our underwater installations that will begin next month.” – Ximena Caminos, Founder and Artistic Director of The ReefLine

Featured artworks presented by The ReefLine at Faena Miami Beach will include: Beeple’s S.2122, a kinetic sculpture integrating blockchain technology, digital video, and a three-dimensional sculptural form to provide a sci-fi-inspired contemplation on climate change and our role in an envisioned future; Alissa Alfonso’s “Nature’s Medicine” sculpture series made from sewn discarded fabric and repurposed found objects that celebrate the enduring beauty and resilience of nature; and Soulmaker, a collaborative digital artwork by Guido Elgueta and +X. S2.122 by Beeple will be on display in the Faena Cathedral from December 5-10; “Nature’s Medicine” by Alissa Alfonso will be on display at the Tierra Santa Spa at Faena from December 5-10; and Soulmaker by Guido Elgueta and +X will be available for viewing exclusively online at Artsy.

“I have always been fascinated by art’s ability to captivate people. With the growing realities of climate change on the horizon, we need art now more than ever to command attention. I am excited to partner with The ReefLine this Miami Art Week because they’re not only using art to raise awareness, they’re also leveraging it as part of the solution for ongoing change.” – Beeple

The production of artworks for Phase 1 of The ReefLine, launching in December 2024, will mark a significant leap towards the realization of the first-ever aquatic sculpture park and artificial reef of its kind. The ReefLine’s artificial reef construction will provide a critical habitat for endangered organisms, promoting biodiversity and enhancing coastal resilience in the face of climate change, rising sea levels and warming ocean waters – and will serve as an educational initiative for visitors and local Miami residents alike. This critical milestone for The ReefLine follows the innovative project’s receipt of a $5 million grant last November through General Obligation Bond approved by Miami Beach voters. The ReefLine’s initial phase will showcase sustainable underwater masterpieces by internationally acclaimed artists such as Leandro Erlich, Petroc Sesti, and Carlos Betancourt. These creations will function as artificial reefs, contributing to the promotion of a more sustainable future for Miami’s local marine ecosystem and enhancing the cultural landscape of Miami Beach.

The artists, together with Ximena Caminos (Founder and Artistic Director, The ReefLine), Shohei Shigematsu (ReefLine Collaborator and OMA NY Director) and Brandi Reddick (newly appointed Executive Director, The ReefLine) will celebrate the Miami Art Week showcase and unveil the ReefLine’s Phase 1 installation plans at a private event taking place on December 5. Select works from the showcase will also be available at international non-profit Oceanic Global’s forthcoming “Art for the Ocean” auction, the details of which will be revealed at the private event.

LINA CERRONE GALLERY DEBUTS ALL-NEW SOLO EXHIBITION BY LEO & STEPH

The Wynwood Gallery Will Host Special Opening Celebration With the Artist Duo, December 1st Through December 3rd

 Lina Cerrone Gallery, an international contemporary art gallery in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, is kicking off Miami Art Week with the launch of a new solo exhibition featuring the dynamic French-Brazilian pop art duo Leo & Steph. The exhibition opening will take place on Friday, December 1, from 5:30-9 p.m. 

Leo & Steph have made a name for themselves by way of Paris, Dubai, Geneve, London and Miami by turning iconic brands, including Chanel, Hermès, Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent, into unique and exclusive works of art. Leo, a Brazilian graphic and interior designer, and Steph, a well-renowned French producer with over 20 years of experience in the media industry, met and fell in love in Paris 13 years ago and turned their shared passion for pop art into collaborative pieces of playful and colorful works of art. Their new exhibition at Lina Cerrone Gallery will feature approximately 14 new prints alongside three new “KID CUP” sculptures, the pair’s iconic gender-neutral embodiments of the eternal, joyful inner child. The figures symbolize unending optimism, perpetually in pursuit of the whimsical and radiant aspects of life, with their ever-present cup representing a love for life’s offerings. 

Lina Cerrone Gallery welcomes art enthusiasts and collectors who seek both established and rising talents. It especially caters to those with an eye for European and South American artists, offering a diverse range of contemporary works, from neo-pop art to classical fine art. The gallery uniquely showcases artists who transform new mediums into art. For example, it was the first gallery in the U.S. to exhibit works by Patrick Roger, a famed French chocolatier and sculptor known for his chocolate sculptures that metamorphose into bronze. The gallery also features “Le Chocolat des Francais,” known for its artistically designed packaging celebrated at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, and COCOADDICTION created by French chefs Oliver Rodriguez and Greg Pugin, a former chef at L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. 

“More than just a gallery space, Lina Cerrone Gallery is a pulsating heart in the Wynwood Arts District,” said Fredric Lean, co-founder of Lina Cerrone Gallery. “Lina Cerrone and I have strived to create a haven where art isn’t just displayed but lives and breathes. We are excited to present this solo exhibition by Leo & Steph to showcase the pair’s latest works. Each piece in the collection is one-of-a-kind, emphasizing its uniqueness as a series of 1/1.” 

The untitled Leo & Steph exhibition will be on view at Lina Cerrone Gallery through December 3, 2023. 

Lina Cerrone Gallery is located at 2239 NW Second Ave., Miami, FL 33137. For more information, visit linacerronegallery.com or follow on Instagram @linacerronegallery.

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.
