The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) presents The Fabric of Me August 1 - 21, 2026

THE FABRIC OF ME
AUGUST 1 - AUGUST 21, 2026


The Contemporary Art Modern Project is elated to announce a special summer exhibition in collaboration with Aurora Molina and her students at Play Studio Artelier. At Play Studio Artelier, they believe every child is an artist with a unique voice. Under the guidance of artist and educator Aurora Molina, our students are invited to explore contemporary art through curiosity, experimentation, and the transformative language of fiber. On view August 1 - 21, 2026.

The portraits presented in this exhibition are more than representations of faces—they are expressions of identity, observation, and imagination. Through weaving, stitching, and textile-based techniques, each young artist discovered how thread can become a medium for storytelling, connection, and creative confidence.

We are honored to present these works at The CAMP Gallery, celebrating the creativity of our young artists and reaffirming our belief that when children are given the opportunity to create with intention, their voices become an essential part of our cultural conversation. At Play Studio Artelier, they see art not only as a means of making, but as a way of thinking, connecting, and shaping the future.

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.

Must-See Exhibition! The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s 7th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd

 


The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) 7th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd opened October 17th at CAMP’s North Miami gallery 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. 


Guests will enjoy the gallery's upcoming Artist Workshop featuring Laetitia Adam-Rabel, and a Round Table Talk featuring Janet Mueller & Amy A. Llanes on Saturday, November 1st at The CAMP Gallery from 2-4:30pm for an insightful discussion involving the artist's creative practice and process interpreting this year's theme into their pieces. RSVP HERE.


This phenomenal exhibition features 100+ artists and works, truly a must-see! 

Participating Artists:
Adriana Carvalho, Aida Tejada, Ainaz Alipour, Alexa Mac Crady, Alice Raymond, Alison Stein, Allison Green, Amy Llanes, Amy Putman, Angelica Bergamini, Ana Garces Kiley, Andrea Jablonski, Andrea Venero Carrasco, Angela Franklin, Anji Woodley, AnneIsabel Wenhammer, Annie Lindberg, Atelier Lustig, Badru Temitayo, Barbara Ringer, Beth Toledo, Brenda Kuong, Brittany Kiertzner, Camille Eskell, Camille Nozay, Carlos Gamez de Francisco, Dana Donaty, Daniela Reis, David Zalben, Debora Rosental, Deborah Simon, Eden Quispe, Eileen Braun, Eileen Hoffman, Elham Shafael, Emily Peters, Eva Petrič, Evania Sempeles, Ewa Dąbkowska, Fernanda Froes, Frances Melhop, Francisca Rodillo, Fruma Markowitz, Georgia Frambis, Gin Stone, Giulia Sanambrogio, Han Cao, Hannah Banciella, Holis Hickerson, Hou Guan Ting, Jacqueline Myers-Cho, Jamie Zimchek, Janet M Muller, Jeanne Ciravolo, Joan Wheeler, Joanne Steinhardt, Jody Mac Donald, Judy Polstra, Karen Perry, Katia Bandeira de Mello, Katika, Kimberly Bentley, Laetitia Adam Rabel, Laura Marsh, Linda Fernandez, Lindsay Overbey, Lisa Rockford, Lottie Emma, Lydia Viscardi, Mabelin Castellanos, Macarena Zilveti, Madeline Thoman, Madison Hendry, Margaret Roleke, Maria Claudia Brigido, Marine Fonteyne, Marsha Borden, Meghan Udell, Melissa Campbell, Melissa Zexter, Michela Martello, Mila Hajjar, Molly Gambardella, Monica Czukerberg, Mychaelyn Michalec, Nabila Valera, Nan Robarge, Nancy Tobin, Natale Cree Adgnot, Natalia Schonowski, Nicole Durham, Nina K Ekman, Ola Rondiak, Orsolya Illes, Paula Jacobo Alonso Leon, Rafael Montilla, Rebecca White, RemiJin Camping, Renata Daina, Rosa Henriquez, Sarah Laing, Sascha Mallon, Sherry Davis, Silvana Soriano, Simona Fantappiè, Sonja Czekalski, Sophie Papiau, Toni Thomas, Micheal Sylvan Robinson, Uta Kreher, Vanda Berecz, Valeria Salinas and Yochi Yakir-Avin.

“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

This month, we're shining a spotlight on Westport-based artist Liz Leggett, known for her dynamic, process-driven abstractions that pulse with texture and energy. Leggett’s work is an exploration of balance and control, leaving the interpretation open to the viewer’s visceral response. 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!"
