This Weekend….

Friday night opens a new exhibition at the Carol Jazzar Gallery in Miami Shores. The show is titled between and features work by Miami-based artist Lynne Golob Gelfman.

Gelfman’s paintings for this show take on chain link fences for subject matter, with the artist endlessly layering the canvas with image after image of chain link patterns. The patterns begin to overlap and seemingly trail off from one another creating an eerie, ghost-like imagery. Strange perceptions of depth and spatial distortions begin to manifest themselves within the work creating kinetic visual effects within the viewer.

Gelfman herself has been creating abstract paintings in Miami for more than 30 years. The reception opens at 7 p.m. and lasts until 11 p.m.

And this Saturday will be none other than 2/20/2010, a date divisible by 20’s, 10’s, and 2’s, and so many other numerical correlations ripe for significance and exploitation by Miami’s premier numerically titled alternative gallery space, Twenty Twenty Projects in Hialeah. The show itself will be a collaborative project between artists Daniel Newman and Matthew Schreiber. The reception opens unusually early this Saturday at 5 p.m. and lasts until midnight.
