Luis Gispert “Tender Game” at David Castillo.

Saturdays are so over for seeing art. Many opening nights had switched to Fridays, but now Thursdays are where it’s at.

This Thursday, for instance, one of Miami’s new generation of art pride will have a solo show, Luis Gispert. “Tender Game” at David Castillo Gallery boasts new photographic works from the artist who now makes New York home. These are images of an assortment of military planes, at times with views from the cockpit out, meaning you take in all the technical gadgetry along with the vast landscape outside from an aerial view. Aircraft that Gispert focused on include Fat Hercules, a plane first crafted in 1957, in this case flying over South Dakota’s dramatic Badlands. And Fat Fred, which in this case is traversing the great Bonneville salt flats of Utah.

As the title suggests, these harsh metal vehicles made for war are juxtaposed with the tender or at least naturally beautiful terrain of the earth in Gispert’s photos. The show opens with a talk from PAMM associate curator Diana Nawi.

Over at Edge Zones Projects, a group painting show opens up, “Clean Dressed, Dirty Mouth.” This is an interesting grouping of artists, including abstract painters Kerry Ware and David Marsh and street-inspired artists Atomik and Hest, along with Kiki Valdes, Pucho and Arnoud Pages, all of whom have brash, large-scale works for this exhibit. The underlying message is that painting is alive and well and part of the contemporary vocabulary.

“Tender Game” opens Feb. 6, with a talk from Diana Nawi at 6:30 p.m., at David Castillo Gallery, 2234 N.W. 2nd Ave., Miami; www.davidcastillogallery.com. “Clean Dressed, Dirty Mouth” opens Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. at Edge Zones Projects, 3940 N. Miami Ave., Miami; www.edgezones.org.
