Design Miami 2018 presents the fifth year of the Curio program.

The Curio program returns to Design Miami with eleven exhibitions. The program began in 2014 and was inspired by Renaissance cabinets of curiosities. Eaxh exhibition is on a small-scale. These curio exhibitions come from designers, galleries and brands and are shown alongside the larger-scale exhibitions by galleries.Last year the Curio program included MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab and Tom Sachs’s first furniture line.

This year's program incorporates traditional designs and materials and creators looking back at their cultural roots.

The Curio program is one of many reasons Design Miami is a must visit fair during Miami Art Week. Not only do they bridge (obliterate really) the gap between art and design it is just a fascinating collection of work that is manageable to visit over a few hours.

Sadie Barnette's "Black Sky" runs October 20 To December 1, 2018 At Charlie James Gallery (Los Angeles)

Sadie Barnette's Black Sky runs October 20 to December 1, 2018 at Charlie James Gallery (969 Chung King Rd., Los Angeles). There will be an artist reception 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, October 20. This is the artist's second solo show with the gallery.

The artist, in her statement on this show, says she didn't think she could make this show happen and she didnt WANT to because, as she eloquently states;, "everything sucks." Yet she completed the show by looking back at the people who came before her and realizing that the work is what a "beginning looks like."

But let's quote her more directly--
 
"I made this show for my ancestors. And for Drake. I made this show for Little Rodney, and cousin David. There they are in my Dad's quintessential 70's dining room, looking at the camera, not knowing their lives will be cut short - but looking like they understand everything. In two new large scale works I continue my investigation of the 500-page FBI surveillance file kept on my father, Rodney Barnette, who founded the Compton, California, chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968. My glittering holographic redactions propose a counter-surveillance, a resistance and a restorative technology. A lightbox image of a street sign bearing the name of Martin Luther King Jr., set against a galactic sky, imagines a black space beyond gentrification and police violence and volunteers to follow Sun Ra from Oakland to the stars. I've also included in this show my first video work - a medium that is making a strong case for itself in my practice."

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery Returns To Art Basel Miami Beach With "East/West"  Featuring American Artists Profoundly Influenced By Asian Culture

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery (New York) returns to Art Basel Miami beach with East/West,  featuring prominent American artists influenced by Asian culture.

Asian art has had a profound influence on modern and contemporary art in the USA but this has rarely been acknowledged.
The gallery will show artists influenced not just by techniques of Asian art but also by architecture, aesthetics and Asian philosophy.

The highlights of the  year include Barbara Chase-Riboud's Well of the Concubine Pearl, Morris Graves' Ritual Bronze and work by Mark Tobey. Work by Tobye includes and untitled ink drawing from the late 1950s.

Chase-Riboud, abstract artist, sculptor, novelist (of the award-winning book, Sally Hemmings) and poet, creates as  wide a variety of work as this resume would suggest. Her sculpture is unique in that it incorporates rigid, cast materials like bronze alongside silk; although she is certainly not limited to these materials. The artist has been exhibiting since the late 1950s and sold her first piece, a woodcut, to the Museum of Modern Art at the age of 15. She studied at both Temple and Yale. You can find out more about her and her work HERE.

Graves was perhaps the most prominent abstract artist from Pacific Northwest. He was certainly one of the earliest to be lauded by critics and gallerists. His mystical work has been referred to as "visionary art." Even though he was born in Fox Valley in Oregon he spent a great deal of time in Asia and his work is especially influenced by Zen Buddhism. He received  a Guggenheim Fellowship to study in Japan in 1947. He never took it up because U.S. occupation authorities
would not let  him enter the country. It is impossible to avoid the conjecture that this had to do with his friendship with prominent Japanese Americans and his attempt to be classified as a conscientious objector to the war. He remained a self-taught artist. Find out more HERE.

Tobey, a friend, of Graves, was also influenced by Asian artists but of a different sort; his dense, deeply packed work was influenced by Asian calligraphy. The Wisconsin-born artist is considered a part of the Abstract-Expressionist school and was one of the founders of the Northwest School, along with Graves. While attended the School of the Art Institute he was mostly a self-taught artist. Tobey was another great traveler and we recently discussed the "chicken or egg" debate over which came first, his work or Jackson Pollock's. Find out more HERE.

The gallery will be in booth G4.
