Tranter-Sinni Gallery
(Miami) showed work by James Coignard and Jamie dePasquale at Scope Miami 2016.

Coignard was a French painter, sculptor and ceramacist. His best known work was with Paul Hervieu. Find out more HERE.

DePasquale was Roy Lichtenstein's studio assistant for a decade and a half. Subsequent to this he became a significant artist in his own right with shows at myriad galleries going back over 40 years.

The titles of the piece are worth knowing but technical difficulties wouldn't let me add them....

Traffic Jam An Artistic Installation ALL OVER Downtown Miami, November 30 To December 3, 2016

Traffic Jam, an artistic installation takes place all over Miami from Novemebr 30 to December 3, 2016. Keep an eye out. The grand finale, ALL OVER Downtown Miami, Saturday, December 3, 2016. The event culminates at 4 p.m. at MDC's Wolfson Campus Parking Lot (Lot 1, Biscayne Boulevard between 5 & 6th Streets). If you live in Miami, hell if you live anywhere, the topic of traffic jams is probably not a topic of whimsy.

Miami Dad College's Live Arts, however, approach the topic from a new angle. Steve Parker, a musician takes on the traffic (always horrific during Art Week) with a variety of performances. Included are;

- A mixed ability performance w/live musical score created amplified and processed components of the wheelchairs from Karen Peterson & Dancers,
- A gang of skateboarding ukulele players from Inlets Ensembles; choreographed musical bicycles by Kunstwaffen 1916,
- A large scale interactive xylophone made from automobile hoods and parts by Manita Brug & Randy Burman,
- A car orchestra where the community is invited to vent their frustrations in this vehicular flash mob by participating: honking their horns, playing their windshield wipers, & tapping their headlights.

Amanda Dow Thompson's Slippery When Wet Presented By Causey Contemporary At Central Booking (New York), December 15 To December 28, 2016

Amanda Dow Thompson's Slippery When Wet presented by Causey Contemporary at Central Booking (21 Ludlow St., New York), December 15 to December 28, 2016. There is a reception with the artist planned from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, December 15.

Dow Thompson creates hand carved wooden sculpture (also incorporating steel and resin) that are odes to the strength and capabilities of women. More specifically these pieces are a way to explore motherhood and womanhood, especially in the context of a male-dominated art world.. The pieces are not obvious or just about the surface of womanhood either. Throw out all the stereotypes too. The pieces are about strength and there isn't even a tiny whiff of apology.  These pieces are about complexity and strength. If you are in NYC make sure to drop by.

The show takes place with Causey Contemporary curating and Central Booking hosting.

Learn more about the artist HERE.
