(MOAD) Museum of Art and Design at MDC presents Abstraction as Legacy as part of the AMERICA 250 Celebrations

 

Museums throughout the U.S. are honoring America250 with exhibitions and programming that examine the past, present, and future of the United States of America. (MOAD) Museum of Art and Design at MDC makes its own contribution to America250 celebrations with an exhibition titled Abstraction as Legacy. 

This project brings together a group of paintings to reflect on the myriad ways in which American artists have contributed to the field of abstraction. Works by Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell speak to abstract expressionism while works by Lloyd Kiva New and George Morrison reinforce ways in which indigenous artists contributed to the history of painterly abstraction in the U.S. 

This show demonstrates that there is no one way to be an American artist just as there is no way be an American. Some artists in the exhibition lived abroad while others were born abroad. Some chose hard edges informed by architecture while others used abstraction to contemplate the natural environment. 

This exhibition includes paintings by Carmen Herrera, Willem de Kooning, Sam Gilliam, Virginia Jaramillo, Joan Mitchell, Young-Il An, George Morrison, Lloyd Kiva New, Vaughn Spann, Zilia Sánchez, Hans Hofmann and Noemí Ruiz.as well as a salon style wall of works on paper from the collection by Karen Rifas, Sol LeWitt, Robert Thiele, Raymond Saunders, Robert Huff, Louise Nevelson, Lynne Golob Gelfman, and Robert Mangold.

The CAMP Gallery: “Swathed In Color, Line, and Stitches” a group exhibition featuring Brittany Clifford, Evelyn Politzer, Gabrielle Torres and Eden Quispe

Swathed in Color, Line and Stitches is The CAMP Gallery’s summer exhibition bringing together artists: Brittany Clifford, Evelyn Politzer, Gabrielle Torres and Eden Quispe. Looking more at what brings us together each artist tells stories, weaves connections through their varied mediums. Sharing their individual cares these artists offer respite from chaos and invite the viewer into the tranquility of their individual practices brought on through palette and line, all held together by the artist’s wish. 

Line work is often attributed to the work of abstract artists, working on canvas and with paint - which is clearly seen in the works of local artist: Brittany Clifford. Interestingly though, Clifford softens her line, adds a curve to it - suggesting a different path than that which is the standard - beginning, end. Clifford’s lines allow for distraction, imagination and mirrors the ‘ups and downs’ of a day. Her colors also become unified symphonies of joy, mixing and melding, combining and connecting hues and tones heralding one to enter the mix. The physicality of her work also suggests the need to resolve unidentified conflicts - for example, the initial conflict is the canvas itself - standing resolute in its blank state. Clifford approaches this barricade with confidence and a notion of rebellion in that she conquers the canvas, breaks some rules along the way, and ends up with her voice, her vision standing where once their was emptiness. The next, and maybe the most confounding conflict an artist faces is their voice - and how can it be heard by someone else. Clifford overcomes this obstacle by keeping meaning, externally fluid, while intimately personal - showing the connections of human experience. We do not need to experience exactly what the artist paints to be affected by the work. 

Evelyn Politzer

Evelyn Politzer in her series focused on the sea, takes fiber and creates lines that ripple through the work. Her work stimulates one back to shorelines, absorbing the rush of the surf, while imagining the underneath, while just being. Politzer stitches together individual threads into a swath of imagination, heralding and opening the doors to “be-ingness.” In the series, the idea of becoming whole by approaching the work, overshadows the moment by encouraging the viewer to step outside of the the lines. The lines in the work both stand alone, but also are highly reliant on the other - creating an amphibious nuance of interdependency. Politzer, stands comfortably in the unconscious, while simultaneously rooted in higher consciousness - embracing this duality is key to the method behind interpretation. 

Stitching lines and weaving resolutions Gabrielle Torres creates living, breathing swathes of color, texture, line, and of course, stitches. Taking deep colors, symbolic and rich, Torres brings together not only her lines, but the lines of the environment around her, as well as the rhythm of life. Her works speaks to a universal reliance on co-existence and memory. The Wilton Street Rhythm  Series, speaks and begins from a marriage of memory and music to where it expands beyond the artist’s original intent. Fusing the creation of the work with blues, Torres interprets the music, and her reaction thus creating almost a web of feeling bound through thread and jazz. 

Using fabric, stitches and color, Eden Quispe tells stories not unique to her alone. Creating pages of life Quispe flips through the stages: from childhood to adulthood, to caring and protecting childhood, and her life and family in stories. Taking on the role of a chronicler Quispe shares to stimulate memory both lived and hoped for into glimpses of moments. Naturally these moments are defined and described by the artist, but the universality of her topic welcomes the viewer to step towards this same universality. Key to Quispe’s execution is that of memory and protection - preserving both motherhood and childhood in today’s contemporary world, she aims to explore and expose both chaos and peace, ultimately finding balance in her artistic expression. 

As a whole, when brought together, the artists and their works in this exhibition, explore, from different plaines the connection we all share, the dependence not only of self, but on each other. Reaching from the internal, the daily, and the environment - the art presents an unification of difference, that when all is said and done, is that which makes society. The exhibition asks us all to come together and relish the components that will leave us with the expectation of welcoming each other, recognizing the universal of being human; being besieged by conflict, embraced by lived experience, and united by both. 

Enjoy Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture explores the dynamic interplay between athletic performance and artistic expression at the Perez Art Museum Miami

 Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture 

March 19, 2026 – August 23, 2026

Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture explores the dynamic interplay between athletic performance and artistic expression. Coinciding with major international sporting events taking place in Miami—the Miami Open, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and the FIFA World Cup, the exhibition positions Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) as a site where global audiences converge to reflect on the cultural impact of sport. In a city shaped by exchange and diversity, the exhibition underscores how games and competitions create common ground across traditions, identities, and rivalries.

Featuring more than 100 works by artists from around the world—including highlights from PAMM’s collection—Get in the Game demonstrates how sport has inspired both personal expression and shared cultural memory. Visitors encounter Ernie Barnes’s soulful depictions of neighborhood basketball games, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s cinematic meditation that follows French soccer star Zinedine Zidane’s in real time over the course of a match, and Tara Mateik’s reenactment of the historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Artworks are presented alongside historic sports memorabilia—from 1970s Nike sneakers to original McLaren Racing steering wheels—revealing the intertwined histories of creativity, athleticism, and spectacle.

Ultimately, Get in the Game honors the resilience, energy, and imagination that define sports culture, while inviting visitors to consider how art reframes these themes across time and place. Immersive installations extend the experience beyond the visual, encouraging audiences to step into the arena.

Presented artists are Virgil Abloh, Emma Amos, Alexandre Arrechea, Ernie Barnes, Álvaro Barrington, Lyndon Barrois Sr., Holly Bass, Kevin Beasley, Willie Birch, Andrea Bowers, Mark Bradford, Thom Browne, Reggie Burrows Hodges, Miguel Calderón, Alejandra Carles-Tolrá, Ryan James Caruthers, Karla Diaz, Omar Victor Diop, Rosalyn Drexler, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Buck Ellison, Cara Erskine, Kota Ezawa, Derek Fordjour, Samuel Fosso, Sam Frésquez, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, Daniel Green, Chase Hall, Sko Habibi (Jaško Begović), Hugh Hayden, Danny Hess, Mark Igloliorte, Carling Jackson, Cameron Jamie, Brian Jungen, Titus Kaphar, Martin Kazanietz, Savanah Leaf, Cary Leibowitz, Shaun Leonardo, Nelson Leirner, Jerome Liebling, Glenn Ligon and Byron Kim, Radmila Lolly, Roberto Lugo, Louis Vuitton Malletier, Katrina Majkut, Tara Mateik, Sam McKinniss, Julie Mehretu, Lee Moriarty, LeRoy Neiman, Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, Betsy Odom, Catherine Opie, Gabriel Orozco, Grace Rosario Perkins, Paul Pfeiffer, Cheryl Pope, Ronny Quevedo, Deborah Roberts, Sheena Rose, Ben Sakoguchi, Ivan Salcido, William Scott, Joan Semmel, Jean Shin, Yinka Shonibare, Gary Simmons, Tabitha Soren, Ashley Teamer, Felandus Thames, Hank Willis Thomas, and Jake Troyli.

Last Chance to See "Woody De Othello: coming forth by day" at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)

 

Don't Miss Woody De Othello at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), the exhibition closes on June 28th. As Woody De Othello's first solo museum exhibition in Miami, coming forth by day reflects his deep connection to the city and his ongoing exploration of his ancestral heritage. Rooted in precolonial and diasporic African traditions, the artist draws inspiration from spiritual practices, hermetic philosophy, and cultural artifacts—including nkisi power figures, Dogon ritual objects, and Egyptian pyramids. His anthropomorphic sculptures, with their richly glazed surfaces, suggest a quiet vitality—the forms appear to lean, rest, or embrace, as if shaped by the weight of memory and emotion.

Must-see summer exhibition at the Perez Art Museum Miami this June, “Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols,” a curated exhibition of 10 works by Jean-Michel Basquiat from the private collection of collector Kenneth C. Griffin.

A record-breaking Basquiat painting is coming to Miami this summer, anchoring a must-see exhibition at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). On view from June 25, 2026 – June 6, 2027.

This June, PAMM will present Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols, a focused exhibition featuring 10 works by Jean-Michel Basquiat from the collection of Kenneth C. Griffin. At the center of the presentation is the artist’s iconic 1982 work Untitled — the $110.5 million painting that set auction records and reaffirmed Basquiat’s global cultural and market significance.

Curated by PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans and Curator Megan Kincaid, the exhibition highlights Basquiat’s powerful visual language, spanning portraiture, symbolic systems, text, and expressive compositional structure.

Timed alongside Miami’s heightened international visibility during major global events this summer, the exhibition positions Basquiat not only within market history, but within a broader cultural and intellectual context.

As Sirmans notes, Miami’s diverse cultural landscape provides a resonant backdrop for Basquiat’s exploration of identity, migration, and hybridity—while Griffin emphasizes the opportunity to introduce new generations to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

About Basquiat: Figures, Signs, Symbols:

Featuring 10 masterworks by Jean-Michel Basquiat from the Kenneth C. Griffin Collection, this exhibition is the largest presentation of the artist’s work to date in Florida.

In a brief yet remarkably prolific career, Basquiat emerged as a defining artist of the twentieth century and remains deeply relevant today. Shaped in part by a childhood spent visiting museums in New York City, Basquiat’s work draws on a wide range of references—from world history and Renaissance anatomical studies to broader art-historical traditions. His practice was equally informed by the clubs and vernacular culture of 1980s New York, where he engaged with musicians and artists across the emerging worlds of hip-hop, punk, fashion, and film.

Bringing together the visual vocabulary of the time and his own heritage as the child of a Puerto Rican mother and Haitian father, Basquiat borrowed and remixed imagery from comic books, corporate logos, and graffiti. This exhibition explores his expansive artistic vocabulary, in which portraiture merges with coded language and a dynamic pictorial energy driven by color, line, and gesture.

Bakehouse Announces Winning Design for "Triumphal Arch" Open Call

Bakehouse Art Complex, in collaboration with French architecture and urban design practice Coldefy, has selected The Porch by architects and educators Elmer O. García and Olga Kusche-Iglesias as the winning proposal for its "Triumphal Arch" Open Call.

Conceived as a contemporary reimagining of the triumphal arch, The Porch draws inspiration from the social and architectural traditions of South Florida and the Caribbean. Constructed from aluminum tubing and repurposed lawn chair components, the design transforms the gateway into an inviting space for gathering, rest, and community exchange.

"The Porch stood out for its conceptual clarity, material ingenuity, and deeply local approach to public space," said the selection panel. "The proposal captures Bakehouse's commitment to creative innovation and community-building while transforming familiar everyday objects into an inviting architectural experience."

The installation will serve as the entrance to Bakehouse's new community garden and outdoor programming space in Wynwood Norte, supporting exhibitions, workshops, performances, and neighborhood events. Learn more HERE.

From Icelandic Jewelry Designer to London-based Painter, Hendrikka Waage´s Journey Reflects a Rich Tapestry of Artistic Evolution

 

Artwork by Artist Hendrikka Waage

Internationally collected contemporary artist Hendrikka Waage continues to expand her evolving art practice through a body of work that explores energy, emotional presence, perception, and the complexity of human attention in contemporary life. Born and raised in Reykjavik and currently splitting her time between London and Iceland, Waage brings a distinctly international perspective to her work, shaped by decades of creative practice and life experiences spanning Japan, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Her paintings merge expressive color, layered texture, and symbolic figuration into compositions that feel both emotionally immediate and deeply contemplative.

Artwork by Artist Hendrikka Waage

Before transitioning fully into painting, Waage spent more than two decades as an acclaimed jewelry designer, an experience that continues to influence her sensitivity to material, balance, texture, and detail. Her now-recognizable “Wonderful Beings” series — often featuring female figures with a single ear — emerged as a reflection on selective listening and the overwhelming nature of modern information culture. Through vibrant surfaces and emotionally charged compositions, Waage explores the idea that not everything demands our attention, inviting viewers instead into a quieter, more intuitive space centered on presence, resonance, and emotional clarity. We recently had the pleasure to chat with the artist to learn more about her work, and current projects:


Q – Your creative journey began in luxury jewelry design. What inspired your transition to painting?

A – Art has always been part of my life, I grew up drawing and painting. Jewelry design became my first professional outlet but during the COVID years I found myself returning to painting. What started as a personal rediscovery quickly evolved into a vital part of my creative journey. The shift happened quite naturally. After two decades of crafting jewelry, I started to create portraits of my “Wonderful beings” featuring ladies with a single ear, exploring the theme of selective listening in our information-saturated age. The motif is open to interpretation, but one interpretation is that in today´s world, with an influx of information coming from every direction, you don´t have to listen to everything. Ultimately the motif is open-ended, open to boundless possibilities from one viewer to the next. My work and style reflects the inspirations from my travels and the countries I have lived in including Iceland, Japan, Russia, USA, and UK. I currently split my time between Reykjavik and London.

Q – How does your background in fine jewelry influence your approach to materials and texture?

A – Jewelry taught me discipline, attention to detail, and sensitivity to materials. That carries into my paintings through a focus on texture, layering, and surface. Each work is built carefully, with an emphasis on balance, depth, and subtlety.


Q – What ideas, themes, or emotions are you currently exploring in your paintings?

A – I do work a lot on my selective listening theme. I am exploring ideas around energy, movement, and emotional presence — how a painting can hold a kind of vitality that feels immediate and alive. In my current work, I am exploring the idea of energy of joy at a higher frequency — how a painting can carry a sense of vibration, lightness, and elevation that is felt as much as it is seen.

Artwork by Artist Hendrikka Waage

Q – Can you describe your studio process when developing a new piece?

A – I usually work with my concept in mind and I begin with loose sketches. On my larger paintings, I experiment more with layering and texture, and I test how different materials interact before committing to a direction. Usually, it comes easy and I work intuitively and often revisit the work as well.


Q – How do you see your work evolving as you prepare for your upcoming exhibition?

A – As I prepare for the upcoming exhibition, I see my work evolving in a way that feels more focused and intentional, while still holding onto the sense of energy and spontaneity that drives my process. Iam also becoming more aware of how the works relate to one another as a group. Its not just about individual pieces anymore,but about creating a dialogue across the exhibition — where energy, color, and movement carry through the space in a cohesive way.

Q – What draws you to Miami as a place to present your work?

A – What draws me to Miami as a place to present my work is both personal and professional. I have a deep connection to the area, having lived in Fort Lauderdale for five years in my late twenties while completing my bachelor´s and master’s degrees. During that time, I visited Miami often and developed a strong appreciation for its energy, diversity, and vibrant art scene. Miami feels like a natural fit for my work. The city has a unique openness to color, expression, and experimentation that really resonates with my practice. I´ve also had the opportunity to exhibit twice at Red Dot Miami, where my work was very well received and sold successfully. Those experiences reinforced my sense that Miami is not just a place I enjoy personally, but also a place where my work connects strongly with an audience.


Q – What do you hope collectors experience when they encounter your painting?

A – I hope they feel a strong sense of energy and joy — an immediate, instinctive pull that draws them in. There’s an energy in the work that I want to feel uplifting and alive, something that resonates without needing explanation. Ultimately, I hope the work brings a dynamic presence into a space — something that energizes, uplifts, and continues to evolve with the viewer over time.

Artwork by Artist Hendrikka Waage

Q – You have exhibited your work during Art Basel Miami Beach before, will you be showcasing your art work during Miami Art Week again this year?

A – Yes, and this time around I will be at SCOPE Miami Beach, represented by Artio Gallery. I am really looking forward to it.


As her international visibility and popularity continue to grow, Waage’s work increasingly resonates with collectors and audiences both globally and within the Miami market. Following successful presentations during Art Basel Miami Beach Week and beyond, the artist now prepares for upcoming exhibitions and new presentations that further expand the dialogue surrounding her work, its evolving visual language, and its growing international reach.

SaveArtSpace presents The Extravagance of the Quotidian, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, opening July 31, 2026, curated by Hermes Berrío.

 

SaveArtSpace is proud to present The Extravagance of the Quotidian, a public art exhibition on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL, opening July 31, 2026, curated by Hermes Berrío.

What is the most extraordinary thing we walk past every day?

Not everything meaningful arrives with spectacle. Sometimes it’s already there; hanging from a clothesline, sitting on a sidewalk, glowing under fluorescent light at the corner store, carrying the marks of labor, routine, and survival.

The Extravagance of the Quotidian is an invitation to look closer at the everyday and recognize its weight, its beauty, and its contradictions. This open call seeks artists whose work transforms the familiar into something undeniable; where ordinary objects, domestic rituals, street corners, gestures, and fragments of daily life become containers for memory, identity, struggle, humor, and grace.

What we call ordinary is often where life reveals itself most honestly. In public space, these works become interruptions; small monuments to the lives we are living, even when no one is looking.

All artists are invited of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between May 4 and June 15, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on bus shelter ad space in Miami, FL.

The application fee is $35 for 1-3 images; each additional image carries a $10 fee. Fees support the production of the exhibition, including the purchase of bus shelter ad space. All fees paid to SaveArtSpace are 100% tax deductible donations. 

Selected artists will be announced after June 29, 2026. Public art will be on view starting July 31, 2026 in Miami, FL, and will be on view for at least one month.
