Miami Art Fairs 2011: Scope

4 Dec

Scope Art Fair celebrated their 11th year anniversary with a logo redesign.  Scope brands themselves as a progressive fair who invests heavily in encouraging the careers of emerging artists, exemplified in their initiatives like Artists Wanted (a collaboration to showcase new talent) as well as the in fair programs by Primary Flight (see Taco Stand below).  Their  new fluid linking logo is emblematic of these elements – motion, collaboration, and progress.

Hands down favorite booth at Scope was Heiner Contemporary with a booth dedicated to the work of artist Avery Lawrence.  The narrative of youth, industry, nature and industriousness collide in this warmly domestic space.  Lawrence works in a variety of media, including video, painting, self portrait photographer as well as creating this intricate wall paper exploring the disjuncture of contemporary man in constructed outdoor landscapes.

Beautiful landscape photos by Aleix Plademunt of chairs in landscape with the chairs also installed in the booth at Waltman Ortga.  Beautiful assemblage of photos highlighting the many renown artists represented at Hamburg Kennedy.  Loved these gorgeous little paintings of underwater swimming by Eric Zener offered in conjunction with his book of collected work.

Primary Flight, a Miami based multidisciplinary, multifaceted, experimental project space,  presented Kenton Parker’s Taco Shop.  This interactive space reminiscent of the shared cultural phenomena of late night street meat.

Kasia Kay Gallery had a great booth of big pop paintings.  Patrajdas Contemporary gorgeous exploded sculptures of mythological figures by Kate Macdowell.

Scope Foundation – Cheap Fast and Out of Control

14 Mar

The Scope Foundation is a not for profit that grew from the Scope Fair, with a mission to support emerging artists. Cheap Fast and Out of Control was a benifit space, selling artists multiples (t-shirts, photos, prints, editions) where 70% of the profits went to the artists, and 30% went to the foundation to support future projects.

There was a lot going on in this space, I know well since I have been collaborating with the Scope Foundation since January.

Film and live music presentation by Martha Colburn, archery presentations that became sculpture by Mitch Miller, silkscreen wallpaper tiles by Liz Ensz, stunning handcarved rug made from reclaimed wood by Amie Cunningham, and the bar which was built by Jon Keay.

Great mention goes to Julius Metoyer, Aimie Reporter, Craig Smith, Matthew Bakkom, Maya Hayuk, Mickey Duzyj, and Sam Zimmerman for his super film The Sock!!

Also featured an incredable music program like Wolff and Tuba and Lacoan Pictus who use pedals and technology to create most inorganic music, Abacus a mathematical Jazz band, and Electric Junkyard Gamelon who engineer their own instruments from found objects.

Scope Art Fair New York

11 Mar

Scope Art Fair New York is the FUN emerging contemporary fair. Where most of the fairs this season were quiet and modest, Scope promotes a lively dynamic program. Scope is refreshing and high energy.

Scope Fair is held at the Lincoln Center, the exterior surrounded by highrises, the interior an hommage to nature and camping. The entry was crowned by the resin deer head by Carolyn Salas and Adam Parker, from there we are guided down a ramp lined with recovered wood planks to the Scope Foundation Cheap Fast and Out of Control tent. At the threshold was Riding America Like a Cheap Pony, a wood cabin intallation by Kristen Schiele.

Nice to see new works by ArtJetSet favorite Marc Seguin being shown by Charest-Weinberg.
Marc Seguin is an brilliant thoughtful person, and very talented artist, and was a pleasure meeting him at the fair. Also great to see all the LOVE Marc was getting from Scope as this image was the link-through painting to access New York fair info on the Scope website.

Interesting works on paper, like these hyper-realistic paintings by Yigal Ozeri at Mike Weiss, and spraypaint on cardboard EVOL at Wilde.
Sebastien Denz 3-D skateboarding photos.
Dynamic photos by Haley Jane Samuelson at Hous Projects, and graffiti surrealist murals and paintings by Camilla Rose Garcia at Jonathan Levine

New Media works by young artist David O’Kane at Shuster Gallery, he paints 2 doppelganger paintings and creates a film by repainting one into a stop motion animation.

Scope Fair Miami

23 Dec

Scope Art Fair the fair that was about collectivity and creation more so than just commerce.
The Friendswithyou Fun House for kids, the Cafe corners.

Brilliant programs which artists created works in and as a part of the fair, like Lucia Madriz EAT, and Russell Young’s screen printing performed live, grafitti artist Mr.Brainwash’s works which could be found in around and throughout the fair.

The Girl Project (TGP) is a national initiative that explores the lives of American teenage girls and empowers them to communicate through documentary photography. 5,000 girls ages 13-18, from across the country, of all backgrounds, are being invited to participate by stepping behind the camera to document themselves and their environments.
I loved the photos by Julia Fullerton-Batten at Jenkins Johnson Gallery
Annie Kevans portraits, and Adela Goldbard at Galeria Enrique Guerrero.
