I am very excited to be participating in the Tiger Strikes Asteroid / Satellite show during Art Week in Miami December 1st - 6th

MADE and LABspace present “+1+1” as part of the Tiger Strikes Asteroid “Artist-Run” project for SATELLITE at the former Ocean Terrace Hotel in Miami Beach during Miami Art Week December 1-6. 

“+1+1” is a curatorial experiment in which 6 artists affiliated with MADE and LABspace each invites another artist and those invite one more artist each to participate. The installation includes a total of 18 artists from NYC, Miami, and abroad exhibiting sculpture, painting, works on paper, performances, projected video, all of which together creates a layered and wholly unexpected, exciting, and dynamic installation. The curatorial process is experimental, collaborative, and ultimately founded in artistic trust and openness.

Participating “+1+1” artists:

Black Lake Sky + Lydia Dona + Lisa Beck, Janice Caswell + Michelle Weinberg + Sara Stites, Heather Cox + Felice Grodin + Michael Loveland, Beth Dary + Marina Font + Amalia Caputo, Christy Speakman + Travis LeRoy Southworth + Adam Douglas Thompson, Katarina Wong + Cecile Chong + Maia Cruz Palileo

Plus One Plus One at LABspace Gallery

I am currently in a group show at LABspacein Hillsdale, NY, "Plus One Plus One"  
The show will be on view through June 7th, 2015.

 
 

Above are a few sculptures from the installation that are stained with tea and rust.  These hand-made sculptures are bisque fired so that they remain porous and receptive to their environment.  Some of these pieces are installed outside the gallery around the window frame, (pictured below) - it will be interesting to see what happens to them over the next month as they live outside and experience the weather. photos by SJ
