Last Sunday before heading to the airport Bill K, Julia Gfrӧrer and I walked from the Book Fair over to the Perez Art Museum of Miami. Arriving under it's roof just as the skies opened up in a momentary squall. Miami is unlike most other US cities in many ways, but in particular it feels much closer to Latin America than to the majority Anglo cities I usually inhabit. The usual categories and hierarchies of class and race and cultural niche just don't seem to apply there in quite the ways one is used to in Chicago or New York, San Francisco or Minneapolis. There is as much Spanish being spoken on the streets as English and the English is, likely as not, accented with Spanish and Creole. It's refreshing. The Perez Museum reflects this difference. For one thing the work seemed to reflect more social and political consciousness than its sister institutions around the country generally do. That can of course be a good or a bad thing depending on the artist. There were a lot of romantic and nostalgic stacks of dusty old found objects, for example, meant to evoke lost innocence and absence. But there was also Firelei Báez. The time spent among her drawings were a highlight of the trip, and a revelation. The first two images are life-size figures drawn and painted in gouache and watercolor on giant sheets of paper: The rest are from this giant conglomeration of small drawings, most on found paper or with collaged bits:
MCA Denver Heart Tote designed by local artist and tattoo artist, Maxwell Snyder! Get tatted or just check out more of his work on IG @maxwelltattooer The iconic heart sculpture is one of MCA Denver's only permanent works. It sits right outside our building, serving as a landmark that represents the love and creativity that radiates from MCA Denver. MCA Denver commissioned London-based artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster to install the site-specific work, Toxic Schizophrenia / Hyper Version as part of the inaugural events for the Museum’s first permanent home, a new facility designed by British architect David Adjaye. The sculpture, which is the first public project Noble and Webster have realized in the U.S., reaches 32 feet skyward. Blood drips from a jeweled dagger, which pierces the heart. The heart is made of fiberglass and LED lights, in order to curb excess energy consumption and in keeping with the Museum’s LEED-certified status. Toxic Schizophrenia / Hyper Version, which is visible from the busy downtown streets surrounding the Museum, lures people closer through flashing lights and swirling colors, acting as a beacon for the institution. The glow of the piece is reflected in the building’s gray glass façade, incorporating the Museum’s structure into the work's aesthetic qualities. Portraying the heart and dagger with a futuristic feel, Noble and Webster give the classical symbol new dimension, form, and light. The artists reclaim this symbol as a sign of empowerment in youth culture today–not unlike the young, forward-thinking, non-collecting MCA Denver.
