Among the exhibitions that, at the very least, get into the ballpark of "must see" is the Rubell Family Collection's 28 Chinese. The exhibit opens December 4, 2013 and runs through August 1, 2014 at Rubell Family Collection, 95 NW 29th Street, Miami. The official opening is Thursday, December 4 from 9 a.m. to noon. The collection is the result of five research trips the Rubells made to China over a ten year period. They visited over a hundred artist studios. Many of these artists, but not all, are exhibiting in the USA for the first time.

There are artists working with different media and in many styles. There is no specific theme.

"This exhibition, 28 Chinese, embraces the power of the individual voice without attempting to force a theme." says Mera Rubell.

Among the well-known artists in the exhibit are Zhang Huan and Ai Weiwei. In a sense they were the impetus for further visits by the Rubells to China.

"From the time that we went to China in 2001 with the artist Zhang Huan, it was a place that intrigued us. Then, we collected Ai Weiwei. Three years ago we decided to revisit it and check out a new generation of artists that were emerging." says Rubell.

You can order the 256 page catalog HERE.

2013 also sees the return of Jennifer Rubell's breakfast installation at Art Basel Miami beach. llycaffè is to be the official sponsor of the installation entitled, Faith. The installation consists of a 48 foot white plinth balanced above the ground and covered with a grid of 1,573 Chinese egg tarts. Even better folks on hand can EAT these little bits of delicious art.
