About Rebecca White (b. 1985, American)

Rebecca White works in diverse media, including painting, fiber, and participatory / interactive works; the conceptual underpinnings of her practice frequently connect to mythology, energy work, and esoteric notions such as alchemy and imagined languages. Her work often speaks to issues that have societal relevance, centering the impact these occurrences have on our collective human spirit. She frequently incorporates found natural materials, such as bones, wild clay, branches, into her artworks and installations.

After a brief guided free movement exploration to open the body’s energies, we welcome you to make marks using your choice of graphite or marker on paper, or simple textile manipulations like ripping, scrunching, layering or folding, or earth pigments on textiles using a mineral pigment and soybean ink ‘mud’.With soundscapes and our intuition as our guides, we’ll make marks and then rest deeply in a live sound immersion featuring wind gong, crystal singing pyramid, wayunki and gentle shakers.

Please bring any textiles or fibers you would like to repurpose, along with, scissors, brushes, sponges or stamps, and a yoga mat or blanket for the sound bath.

About Kátia Bandeira (b. 1968, Brazilian)
Kátia Bandeira de Mello is a poet, fiction writer and visual artist born in Rio de Janeiro. Her figurative piece is connected to the Theater of the Absurd and inspired by Franz Kafka’s A Hunger Artist short story as well as elements taken from the texts of Beckett, Camus, Beauvoir and Saramago. The prevalent issue of aesthetics and hedonism in Miami, and the world at large contrasts with the food crisis, the hunger versus obesity paradox that assails the twenty first century in an unprecedented wave.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s 7th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd. The exhibition opened on Friday, Oct.17 with an artist and collector preview. Over 100 years ago Søren Aabye Kierkegaard set the stage for society to look beyond one’s own concerns with the start of Existentialism. Absurdism emerges after the Second World War as the world grappled with the sense of the meaninglessness of life due to an overwhelming indifference for humanity and the suffering of others. For this year’s edition of: Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, and Guests: Don’t Be Absurd, the exploration of Absurdism is done through the hands of fiber artists. Artists were asked to refer to works by: Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Simone De Beauvoir, Samuel Beckett, and Jose Saramago and interpret the writings into circular fiber responses. This exhibition is on view October 17 — December 20, 2025. The run of the exhibition will include several in-gallery art talks, workshops and conversations about fiber art with both artists and curators. CAMP Gallery is located in North Miami at 791-793 NE 125 Street in Miami, Florida 33161. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11am – 5pm. Private visits can be scheduled by emailing hello@thecampgallery.com or calling 786-953-8807.

About Emily Peters

Emily Peters departs from the nihilistic take of Absurdist philosophy in her fiber response to the literary classic,The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. Her final work expresses the heroic journey through earth's pigments and copper.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) presents “Aquí No Pasa Nada” featuring Miami artist Hermes Berrio

 

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) in North Miami is currently showcasing Miami based artist Hermes Berrio in his solo exhibition: Aquí No Pasa Nada. Berrio, known for his intense exploration into the everyday and what may be termed even as the mundane, deftly elevates the everyday to the sublime. Focusing on the often over looked awe that these moments contain, as well as the potential of each and every moment, he speckles his work with mixes of mediums to compel the viewer across the entire tableaux that is his canvas. On view September 5 through October 3, 2025.

Berrio has this to say about the recent series:

 "I  walk,  observe,  absorb,  and  translate.  This  work  doesn’t  begin  in  the  studio;  it  begins in the streets of Miami: Little River, Allapattah, Overtown. I’m not inventing  new realities; I’m amplifying the ones we pass by every day, the visual noise of the  city, the discarded, the improvised, the overlooked.

Aquí  No  Pasa  Nada is  a  series  rooted  in  stillness;  in  the  everyday  moments  that  rarely make it into the frame. A slouched chair on the sidewalk. A sagging wire fence.  A  soggy  cardboard  box  splitting  open  after  the  rain.  These  are  not  landmarks  or  symbols. They’re simply there. And that’s exactly why I paint them. 

These  images  don’t  romanticize  poverty  or  decay.  Instead,  they  call  for  a  kind  of  radical attention;  to  see  the  poetry in  the  peripheral.  Each work is  built  from  real  places and  found moments: an ice cream  truck plastered with chaotic signage and  cartoon stickers; a “No Trespassing” zone turned into a playground for a sun-faded  teddy  bear  on  a  rusted  truck;  an  alligator  crossing  a  handicapped  parking  space,  part myth, part reality, entirely Miami. 

 

Rendered  in  mixed  media;  acrylic,  gold  leaf,  spray  paint,  fabrics,  charcoal;  these  paintings are tactile, dense, and full of interruptions. They mirror the city’s layered,  chaotic  texture.  The  human  figure  is  mostly  absent,  but  never  far.  Every  image  carries the trace of someone: the person who built the fence, hung the laundry, fed  the birds, or left the chair behind. These scenes are haunted by labor, improvisation,  and the quiet resilience of everyday life. 

Miami  appears  here  not  as  spectacle,  but  as  a  patchwork  of  gestures.  The  work  resists  grand  narratives  in  favor  of  the  intimate  and  the  fragmentary.  There’s  no  agenda; only an invitation to slow down, to pay attention, and to notice the strange  beauty pulsing just beneath the surface. To find gold in the gutter. 

These are scenes for no one in particular; which is exactly why they matter."

Between Berrio's work and in the sister exhibition with Katrina Makjut, each artist asks the viewer to slow down, to look and to focus on both possibility and accomplishment - let everything else become silent. 

The Contemporary Modern Art Project (CAMP Gallery) presents 'Postcards From The Artist' running through June 27th

 

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) announces its May exhibition: Postcards from The Artist with a group exhibition featuring works from: Milton Bowens, Laetitia Adam and Oluwatomisin Olabode. Each of these artists creates work explaining their journeys through life and the art world brimming with lived experience, ancestral and historical experiences inherited. The history of an individual is deeply connected to the stories passed down, the experiences encountered and witnessed and the interpreter of all of the above. Identity is a condition constantly influx, due to not just the external world and its ever revolving revolt of both history and perception, but also due to time, and the experiences that come with time. The optimistic child full of imagination and dreams can often become the bogged down adult witnessing not only the loss of innocence in imagination, but also the burden of an imposed identity. What is left is a quagmire of opinions, voices, disagreements, all swarming to remove the identity one lives, the history one lives. Responding to this, these artists lay before the viewer both history lived and inherited, as evidence of how that history, that postcard from the moment effects the artist and becomes the inspiration behind the work. This exhibition is on view May 23 - June 27, 2025.

Milton Bowens is an artist and a preservationist of both the history and the present of African Americans. Often using paraphernalia from archives of American history he reminds the viewer, informs the viewer of the treatment, history and experience of people enslaved in the U.S. His focus looks at the beginnings and explores how they still effect the present. Laetitia Adam Rabel exposes her reality as a woman in America, and how her race and ancestry mark her, and give her the ability to navigate, as best as she can, the labyrinth that is modern society. Deeply feminine her works bring forth and shine on her experiences with her life, her body and her artistic voice. Oluwatomisin Olabode based in Lagos, often toys with ideas of the grotesque, not only in his artistic voice, but also in his subject matter. Over stylized subjects confront the viewer usually in a one dimensional depiction, suggesting that the social eye can only perceive what is on the surface.

The art world is overflowing with rules and ideas of what is art, often from the perspective of the financial, which typically results in trends on what is unique, new, and catchy. Naturally this is fine, but it can overlook artists responding from an internal that cannot be limited or ignored by ‘market demand.’ Artists as the above make works that resonate with a myriad of shared aspects of the human condition - where the exact depictions may be different, they all do speak on being human with both lived and inherited history and how we all carry that weight.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP) is pleased to present ‘Julie Peppito Chooses Hope’, a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Julie Peppito, Opening April 11th

 

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP) is pleased to present Julie Peppito Chooses Hope, a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Julie Peppito, with an Opening Reception on Friday, April 11th from 6 – 9pm. This event is free and open to the public, RSVP HERE. Julie Peppito Chooses Hope offers a roadmap for navigating chaos through layered compositions of fiber, paint, and found objects. Exploring the tension between expectation and reality, Peppito transforms everyday materials into intricate works that embrace movement, ambiguity, and growth. The exhibition invites viewers to step beyond uncertainty and into possibility—where hope is both a choice and an ever-expanding horizon. The exhibition is on view April 11 – May 10, 2025.

Holding Pattern, 2021. Reclaimed textiles, beads, thread, gouache,
acrylic, fabric paint, thread, canvas. 36 x 48 x 4 in.

For over 30 years, Peppito has transformed cultural waste into sculptures, tapestries, and installations that explore connection, environmental repair, and the human condition. She holds an MFA from Alfred University and a BFA from The Cooper Union. Her work has been exhibited at institutions including Kentler International Drawing Space, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum. Her work has also been featured in The New York Times, on CBS Sunday Morning, and NY1. She has created public art for parks across Brooklyn.

The solo exhibition, Julie Peppito Chooses Hope, suggests a guide on how to navigate life through mixed mediums of fiber, paint, found objects and her own innate belief in preserving the positive. Peppito tackles the daily distractions of life by creating multilayered works exploring where she is in the present as a means of establishing order in a life that is chaotic. Chaos can be found in any segment of life where reality clashes with self imposed expectations, where time flies uncontrollably out of ones’s grasp, and much more. Peeling back life as we cross the social landscape, Peppito responds to the world she inhabits by offering hope. Coming into her own in an ever changing art world and practice, Peppito spends a great deal of time with not only the work that evolves, often from one object, but also with her thoughts on the piece. Her thoughts can travel through the everyday and mundane, through her own life, and through the climate she encounters. This multifaceted looking around her is clearly seen in works such as; Growth 1 & 2 (2025). The works offer the concept of growth in many ways. For example, it can be seen as two unequal stages of growth, two direction for growth—or a limit to growth because of the different sizes. But in both there lies hope, simply because the works are bordered by a literal blank canvas, thereby giving one the freedom to move out of the work and into a new stage.

Growth 1 & 2, 2024. Reclaimed objects and fiber, embroidery
floss, string, canvas, acrylic paint. 34 x 38 x 4 in.

Peppito often creates a tableaux both overflowing with action and thought, but also one open and dependent on interpretation. Dividing for example, Holding Pattern (2025) into two sections, one is able to skip through the left portion only to attentively explore the right side. The piece is divided by color, historical references, the artist, and elements of culture. Once you travel through the labyrinths Peppito creates, you may enter into the unformed, the unknown. The work holds an intentionally ambiguous landscape, one with a shadowy figure lurking in the window, an empty chair, and less—but even through this almost ‘void,’ Peppito places her bird, a muse, a symbol of the imagination—fully formed, fully identifiable—showing that come what may, there is always hope and some things can never be erased. This is the key in Peppito’s philosophy —there is always hope, and we can all work towards the beautiful tomorrow of our imagination.

In all of Peppito’s work one can witness her artistic practice as her search for materials rises from both conscious choices to something that catches her eye. This ‘eye-catching’ object is usually the idea of a work in its moment of becoming, akin to an unconscious stage, but as more than one idea holds space in anyone’s mind—new ideas often come hurdling towards her, calling her to listen to the ideas, and thus one idea evolves into many. These ‘many’ are then masterfully composed by Peppito to tell the story that she wishes to tell, as well as to listen to the stories that come from her works when viewed. Her work stands on the precipice of optimism forever leaning towards hope. The hope lies in the future, what she likes to envision for a ‘beautiful tomorrow,’ and the hope that her work stimulates, awakens and leads into conversations and connections bound in the hope for caring connections amongst all. –Statement and curation by Melanie Prapopoulos, gallery founder and director.

CAMP Gallery in North Miami presents 'Asking For a Friend', a group mixed media and textile exhibition & 'Between Stillness and Growth', a solo exhibition showcasing the work of artist Jan Brandt

The Contemporary Art Modern Project is pleased to announce the opening of Asking For a Friend, uniting four artists over the age of fifty: Lydia Viscardi, Silvana Soriano, Heidi Hankaniemi, and Joan Wheeler. The exhibition borrows from the familiar mechanism of an advice column—with a twist—using distinct bodies of work to explore questions of love, pride, fear, and autonomy as a form of allyship and emotional community-building.

Friday, March 7th from 6:30-9pm The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) is ready to welcome March with two new exhibitions running simultaneously from March 7–April 4, 2025. The gallery will be hosting an opening reception for both exhibitions, all are welcome, this event is Free & Open to the Public. RSVP HERE.

The tradition of an advice column evokes a particular type of desperation, namely to resolve a problem with the guidance of an objective, verified advice-giver. The questions posed in these columns range from the practical to the existential— laundering, gardening, housekeeping, conflict, loneliness, and self-esteem. Is it possible to get blood out of white fabric? How can I improve my relationship with my mother? What should I say to my awful neighbor the next time she says my shoes are ugly? How do I combat the persistent, existential dread coursing through my veins? 

Asking For a Friend celebrates the ways in which women take care of one another, explicitly pushing past the woes of a blossoming generation to be inclusive of trans-generational perspectives and experiences. The exhibition functions as a space wherein one can navigate personal and communal hardships: how to grieve; celebrate small victories; find courage; get rich; start over; accept reality; dream.  

At the same time, however, this exhibition is a lament for the cultural shift away—not from advice columns in essence, but from communal wisdom toward hyper-independence, isolating entire networks of women from community-oriented practices. Columns of the past featured tips to better one’s housekeeping, sex life, or beauty, and were, admittedly, sometimes perpetuating harmful, gendered cultural attitudes. Nonetheless, the idea of an advice column speaks to an intellectual and spiritual bond between women, especially between women in different stages of life; these relationships do exist for most women, and are often confined to the familial sphere.

Through garments, conceptual textile sculpture, object assemblages, and collaging, this exhibition takes root in a need  for considerate and compassionate pathways toward learning. Asking For a Friend invites visitors to step away from doomscrolling, internet rabbit holes, and internal monologues of quiet panic to find sanctuary in shared experience—within communities, within art spaces, and within one another.

Bring a question. Offer it up to the artists, to the curator. We’ll hold it together.

A note from the curator: The CAMP Gallery’s programming for this exhibition will feature submitted queries. Questions you have for each artist will be shared with them; you can keep it anonymous, or share your name. 

Statement and curation by Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project also presents Between Stillness and Growth, a solo exhibition showcasing the work of artist Jan Brandt, running from March 7 - April 4. Occupying the gallery’s incubator space, Brandt’s work explores the tension between bloom and decay, inviting viewers to reflect on life’s unpredictable cycles of movement and stagnation. 

Brandt’s Hothouse series shifts fluidly from representation to abstraction, as repeated elements unfold into patterns. She infuses her work with a playful, and deeply evocative materiality, through materials such as puffy paint and glitter, creating a dynamic tension where organic forms pulse with life while holding quiet interruptions. Through these textures, Brandt conjures a sense of nostalgia, tapping into child-like wonder and the joy of making while challenging the hierarchy of materials within contemporary art.

In this exhibition, vibrant, maximalist compositions generate a sense of kinetic energy, counterpoised  by moments of stillness—pauses in mark-making. By returning to the simplicity of life’s cyclical patterns, Brandt’s works create a space for quiet reflection, offering the viewer comfort in rhythmic repetition. The pauses allow the eyes to rest before drawing them back into the work's unfolding dynamic, reflecting a surrealist life cycle where chaos and calm coexist and invite viewers to slow down, and immerse themselves in the process.

Between Stillness and Growth suggests we embrace the tension before expansion—transition. It also encourages reflection on how this interplay of texture, color, and form evokes feelings of connection, nostalgia, and self-reflection, guiding us through both the turbulence and serenity of the human experience.

“The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s interpretation, like many modern and post-modern interpretations, centers a markedly non-male, intersectional gaze... How do we go from the violence and harm inherent to misogyny, sexism, disenfranchisement—and a downright alienating male attitude that won’t quit—to a showcasing of the power of authentic unity, deliberately contextualized outside of it?” —co-curator Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco

Discover more about Liz’s creative process and her newest body of work in our full interview below. "The marks are a channel for me to get my inner thoughts and emotions out, so the lines to me are often tracings of tension and frustration but also of catharsis and energy... I love working in flesh tones and pinks and hot pinks–there is no doubt an association with these colors that scream female, and I have no problem with that!" —Liz Legget
