Recently, the exhibit has added new immersive artworks and installations to traverse through the multisensory environment that has been never before seen. Prepare to adventure through a magical, fantastical journey across ten art rooms occupying 18,000 square feet in Miami’s Aventura Mall.

The Happy-Go-Lucky Exhibit features ten art rooms, including its all-time favorites The Diamond Palace, The Kaleidoscope, Pure Pearl Pool – a new serene, calming installation – and a never-before-seen room for the exhibit, Flower Infinity. Other uniquely designed rooms are The Illusion, Telly Garden, and Silver Ocean, along with a few smaller installations scattered throughout the space.


● The Diamond Palace is a fantastic space that cleverly uses mirrors to reflect lights and colors, turning the entire room into a magnificent, seamless geometric pattern. It is perfect for individuals and groups to take memorable photos together and even has its own runway for posing in style.

● Pure Pearl Pool is a calming, immersive pool space that is all white and filled with pearl shaped balls welcoming guests to relax and play inside. The color and theme of the pool will leave individuals feeling whole and cleansed from negativity.

● The Kaleidoscope uses 360° digital screens to create an ever-shifting field of color and lighting effects around visitors. Inside the Kaleidoscope tunnel, color changes, shapes morph, and light shifts and spins.

● Flower Infinity is a brand new room that is debuting at our Miami exhibit. Warm colored flowers will hang from the ceiling and reflect across the infinity mirror space, along with fresh floral scents, to create an environment full of happiness and freedom.

The Happy-Go-Lucky Exhibit 2022 runs from April 16th, 2022 through Summer 2022 in Miami at Aventura Mall’s Treats Food Hall, located on the Third Level. Tickets will be available online at happygoluckyexhibit.com.

Fabien Castanier Gallery: Mark Jenkins "The Harder They Come" Exhibition

The Harder They Come Solo Exhibition by Mark Jenkins March 26 – April 23, 2022 OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST SATURDAY MARCH 26 @5-8pm Fabien Castanier Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition for American artist Mark Jenkins. The Harder They Come is on view March 26 through April 23, beginning with an opening reception with the artist on Saturday March 26th. This is the third solo exhibition for Mark Jenkins at the Castanier Gallery, featuring a new collection of his signature sculptures and installations. Mark Jenkins' sculptures continue to confront viewers with reality-bending immersion that for this exhibition shines a spotlight on the struggles of oppression and societal imbalance within the current global political climate. Tableaus that are at times imaginatively witty or dark and poignant, reflect a deeper understanding of the theatricality of life. The artist creates these hyper-realistic figures from casting the bodies of real people, more often than not from himself. By taking the realism of a life-size human sculpture and adorning it with absurdity, Jenkins exhibits an exploration of the surreal. The viewer's reaction to the sculptures become part of the pieces – as the artist seeks to envelop the audience within the installation, holding a mirror up to the complexities of human connection and the collective unrest born from oppressive circumstances. Currently based out of Richmond, VA, Jenkins has spent the last decade bringing his artwork to a variety of important and notable global spaces. Beginning in 2017 he collaborated with Balenciaga, creating sculptures wearing the fashion house's garments. Several projects with Balenciaga brought Jenkins' sculptures to New York, Paris, and London. In 2018, he conceptualized a powerful art installation, where 84 life-size figures were placed standing on the roof of the ITV buildings in Southbank London. Entitled "Project84" the installation aimed to bring awareness to the prevalence of male suicide in the U.K. In 2019, Jenkins participated in the Rose Béton biennale/art festival held in Toulouse France, where he installed a number of sculptures in the public space. The same year, the city of Laguna Beach (CA) commissioned five of his figures for placement in front of their City Hall. Entitled "The Caretakers", the sculptures were occupied with absurd activities, such as vacuuming the lawn. Jenkins sculptures are at home both within the gallery space as well as in the urban landscape. Their presence often defies logic and by pushing the boundaries of immersive installation, he continues to re-define the limits of the consumer's relationship to the art and the artist

Women's History Month Event Honoring Eco-Feminist Artist Mira Lehr at Kimpton EPIC Hotel Miami

 

The Kimpton EPIC Hotel, one of Miami's leading boutique hotels, will present a new art exhibition celebrating Women's History Month titled Mira Lehr: Continuum. The exhibition features never before seen works by Lehr at the Hotel’s new 16th floor gallery space on view now through April 20th.

Mira Lehr (2021) Burned and dyed Japanese paper, ignited fuses, gunpowder, charcoal handwriting on wood panels (84” x 153”)

Mira Lehr’s solo and group exhibitions number more than 300. She is a graduate of Vassar College (1956) with a degree in Art History, under the mentorship of Linda Nochlin, the renowned feminist art historian.

Lehr will be the subject of a new, 420-page international monograph by the leading art book publisher Skira Editore, to be published in the spring of 2022. Lehr has been collected by major institutions across the U.S., including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art (Washington), the Getty Museum Research Center (Los Angeles), the Boca Raton Museum of Art, the Perez Art Museum Miami, the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center (NY), the Margulies Collection, the Mennello Museum of American Art, MOCA North Miami, the Jewish Museum of Florida -FIU, and the Orlando Museum of Art.

Her work is in the private collections of Elie and Marion Wiesel, Jane and Morley Safer, and Judy Pfaff, among others. She is included in the Leonard Lauder Corporate Collection in New York. Thirty of her paintings were commissioned for the collection of Mount Sinai Hospital. Her work can be seen in American Embassies around the world and is permanently on view in the Sloan Kettering Memorial Center.

Mira Lehr (2021) Burned and dyed Japanese paper, ignited fuses, gunpowder, charcoal handwriting on wood panels (84” x 153”)

Her nature-based work encompasses painting, sculpture, and video. She uses nontraditional media such as gunpowder, fire, fuses, Japanese paper, dyes, and welded steel. Lehr is known for igniting and exploding fuses to create lines of fire across her paintings.

In the 1950s, Lehr studied and worked in New York as an artist, where she met some of America’s most prominent masters including: Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, and Helen Frankenthaler. She studied with James Brooks, Ludwig Sander, Robert Motherwell, and within the Hans Hofmann circle. When Lehr moved back to Florida in 1960, she was shocked a t the lack of an art scene, especially for women. She co-founded Continuum in 1961, one of the country’s first artist co-ops for women artists. This helped the evolution of art in Miami. She was selected in 1969 by Buckminster Fuller, as one of only two artists, to participate in his World Game Project about sustainability and his groundbreaking “Spaceship Earth” concept which preceded the world's very first Earth Day in 1970. Lehr’s video installation, V1 V3, was on view at the New Museum, NY. She was the recipient of the Vizcaya Museum Lost Spaces Commission, where she was commissioned to create a site-specific installation for Vizcaya Museum and Gardens as part of the Museum’s centennial celebrations.

Art Exhibition: BREACH presents 'You Are Completely Special' by Gao Hang

 

BREACH presents Gao Hang, "You Are Completely Special" 

February 20 - March 19, 2022

 

Gao Hang's recent paintings are inspired by image "definition" and "rebdering" in digital graphics on the internet, especially those from the last 20 years. The rawness of hand coloring/tracing/sculting 3D digital graphics on a 2D screen resonates with "painterly movement" on canvas in terms of the honesty and uncertainty of muscle behavior. The sharp digital boundaries become literal hardedge paintings on front of the artist.
