Hernan Bas, “A Queer and Curious Cabinet.” Although it may seem like there is a small lull between the next group of local openings — that may be the exhibits up for Art Basel, both for galleries and museums — in fact the art world moves here apace. For instance, the big opening this week will be […]

“Tidal Equation” by Mira Lehr. The most eye-catching piece in an exhibit filled with quite a few of them, Mira Lehr’s “The Pull of the Tide” at Kelley Roy Gallery, is a huge tapestry covering one wall. As the title refers to, all these new works from the long-established artist relate to the tides, the […]

George Sanchez-Calderon at Deering Estate. For several years now, the Deering Estate in Cutler Ridge has experimented with exhibiting contemporary art. It started off with a show that featured large-scale sculptures spread across the sprawling grounds of the historic estate, curated by sculptor Ralph Provisero. This October, it moved entirely indoors to the villa and […]

New World Symphony with video from Tal Rosner; photo credit Rui Dias-Aidos. In its glamorous new digs in the New World Center, the New World Symphony has decided this year to actively use those beautiful screens that frame that lovely stage with some commissioned video programs from international video artists. It’s a great statement for […]

From the “Correspndences” exhibit, 924 space of ArtCenter. True to its new mission to expand the programming — both in quantity and to varied disciplines — ArtCenter/South Florida (a Knight Arts grantee) will host a number of events tomorrow, Wednesday night, that should offer up a little something for everyone. Starting the evening off will be an artists’ […]

Yanira Collado’s book pages One definition of the word “Palimpsest” is “something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.” It is also the title of a new group show curated by William Cordova that loosely fits into this descriptive, at Carol Jazzar Contemporary Art. There are traces of themes, of […]

Northern Approach. Intrepid Potash, Wendover, Utah; William Keddell. Ever really wondered what it is like to be a bird, gliding through the air, getting a true “bird’s eye view” of the world? Sure you have. Multimedia artist William Keddell, mostly known for his stereoscopic images, stopped dreaming about it and climbed into his own one-man […]

Snapshot from Felix Gonzalez-Torres, 1994. It was appropriate that as the audience streamed in to take their seats at the de la Cruz Collection on Thursday night, they would pass by the lovely light sculpture by Felix Gonzalez-Torres hanging from the ceiling and pooling on the floor, in front of the black-and-white linen painting from […]

Images of Miami from Tao Rey’s eye and phone. It’s been a while since we’ve seen work from Tao Rey, part of the group that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s who made a big mark on Miami’s art scene, being termed the “hot house” young artists at the time. But like all […]

“Reconstruction II.” Breast cancer strikes fear into the heart of women more than almost any other affliction. It’s true we now know that men can get breast cancer, and other cancers can be as deadly or worse, but the breast is the most outwardly prominent symbol of womanhood — an attack on the breast can feel […]

Ronald Dupont oil on canvas. “For real!” is a clever name for the painting show at Waltman Ortega. The three Europeans depict almost-hyper real portraits of American cities — mostly New York City. Except that there is a slightly non-American perspective to them. It’s a nice show to open up the season. The most “real” come […]
