Discover Art Exhibitions on view at the Bakehouse Art Complex: featuring Artists Luján Candria & Sterling Rook

Explore current exhibitions on view at The Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood, featuring two artists with compelling solo exhibitions currently on view in Miami— each engaging memory, material, and personal history in distinct and fruitful ways: Luján Candria & Sterling Rook.

Luján Candria

Miami-based Argentine artist Luján Candria works across a wide range of media to create introspective works that explore memory, reminiscence, and oblivion. Luján often uses the repetition and juxtaposition of images to create intimate and poetic narratives imbued with nostalgia.

Luján has been a resident artist at Bakehouse since 2021. To experience more of her work, visit her studio here at Bakehouse, or see Still More Fragile, her solo exhibition currently on view at Faena Art through May 3.

Sterling Rook

Miami-based artist Sterling Rook works across sculpture and fiber, using materials such as forged steel, handmade rope, and organic elements to explore ancestry, craft, and material memory. Drawing from a lineage of textile and fiber traditions on both sides of his family, Rook approaches art-making as both a generative and regenerative process, connecting personal and cultural histories across time.

Sterling currently has work on view at Tunnel Projects as part of his solo exhibition Shupingagua, on view through Saturday, April 25. Don't miss this last opportunity to experience the exhibition!

Public Art in the Miami Design District | Urs Fischer: Bus Stop, 2017

 

A Must-See in the Miami Design District, Urs Fischer: Bus Stop, 2017 - located at the Paradise Plaza Garage, 176 NE 41st Street in Miami, Florida 33137. Situated in the Miami Design District sits a new fountain by the artist Urs Fischer. Its backdrop is a re-creation of a Miami Beach bus stop with all its signage and advertisements missing. In its midst, on the bench, is a skeleton, lying on its back, inhabiting this artificial sphere of public space. A constant trickle of water lands on its head and forms a pool below. The skeleton figure is of no particular gender or age. It serves as a representation of anyone.

Upcoming Exhibition: Angelica Reisch, "The Things That Stay" — opens April 9 at MIFA

 

"The Things That Stay"

Experience the opening of artist Angelica Reisch's The Things That Stay,  on view at Miami International Fine Arts (MIFA) from April 9 through May 22, 2026, with an Opening Reception taking place on Thursday, April 9th from 6–8pm.

The exhibition brings together drawings in graphite and oil pastel alongside archival audio recordings, exploring memory, domestic space, and the quiet traces of presence that linger after we leave a place. The work depicts interior environments — bedrooms, kitchens, hallways — rendered not as documentation but as psychological spaces shaped by emotion and recollection. The exhibition is curated by Pamela Solares and is funded in part by a grant from South Arts.

Angelica Reisch is an artist based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Her work has been supported by a FY26 Artist Creative Practice Grant from South Arts, the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Artist Award, a Nasher Sculpture Center Artist Microgrant, and grants from the Dallas Museum of Art and the Vermont Studio Center.

MIFA is located at 5900 NW 74th Avenue in Miami, FL 33166.

Bakehouse Art Complex presents Archival Feedback x René Morales

 

Join Archival Feedback for a talk on Bakehouse Freestyle 100, moderated by René Morales, exploring Miami’s history through sound and place at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood on Wednesday, March 25th from 6 - 8pm. This Event is FREE & Open to the Public, RSVP HERE.

Miami-based artist duo Archival Feedback (Emile Milgrim and Thom Wheeler Castillo) will be joining BAC for an artist talk on Bakehouse Freestyle 100, a recently commissioned sound installation created on the occasion of Bakehouse Art Complex’s 40th anniversary. Moderated by Senior Curatorial Fellow René Morales, the conversation will explore the artists’ approach to sound as a tool for engaging history, landscape, and collective memory.

Centered on Bakehouse’s 100-year-old Art Deco industrial building and its surrounding neighborhoods, Bakehouse Freestyle 100 weaves together two distinct sonic layers: “The Mediated Voice,” a collage of archival recordings tracing the evolution of 20th-century media, and “The Sound of Place,” a composition of environmental field recordings capturing the rhythms of the region. Together, these elements create a dynamic interplay between narrated history and the lived, ambient textures of change.

Drawing from regional archives and digital repositories, the work reflects on Miami’s cultural legacy while holding space for its future. This talk offers an opportunity to hear directly from the artists about their process, research, and ongoing exploration of sound as a means of deep listening and place-based inquiry.

Experience the Opening of "Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture" at the Pérez Art Museum Miami on March 19, 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.

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.
