The New York Times calls it, "hilarious, well-written and inspired."

IN THE WILD - AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY SHOWCASE
The ‘In the Wild’ showcases collection of photos that captures Dinesh ’s aerial photography works from Oahu and the Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii and in South Beach and Key West, Florida. The suspense of his art is intensified when shooting with high resolution cutting-edge cameras from doorless helicopters 800 feet above ground.
Dinesh states: 'It’s is a feeling we get when we’re connected to our surroundings - the overpowering awe, the inspired emotions, the rush. I created the series of images for ‘In the Wild’ not to celebrate where we are in the world but to show how humanity encounters nature and its powerful forces; we absorb it and we embrace it. I wanted to highlight how we respect its strength and attempt to understand its depth. I strived to shoot the immense natural elements and searched to find a series of curves, patterns, and details that bring out the awe-inspiring playground we can experience in our humanity.' Dinesh creates large format prints of his work and has been featured in Martha Stewart, Condé Nast Traveller, Fuji Film and Homepolish. He is currently represented by Sorelle Gallery in New Canaan, CT with his next Solo Gallery show on March 7th. Preview the new collection of fine art prints by photographer Dinesh Boaz before the launch of aerial photography showcase and artist residency through May 1st at the W Hotel Fort Lauderdale. |

INHABITED
“Inhabited” will feature 16 artists who will uniquely explore the concept of a dwelling, by creating structures that a body or an idea can reside within. The exhibition will be uniquely situated within the Projects Contemporary Art Space in FATVillage, a spacious 8,000 square foot warehouse space, that will be transformed into a temporary village and interactive environment.
Inhabited is the debut show for the newly formed C3 Collective, comprised of independent contemporary curators Kara Walker Tomé of Palm Beach County; and Leah Brown and Lisa Rockford of Broward County. Leah, Lisa, and Kara set out to make their inaugural exhibition for C3 have significant public impact via the creation of a complex conceptual theme, and a non-traditional exhibition format, wherein audience interaction with the work, (both physical and philosophical,) is a primary goal. As part of their collaborative curation, Leah, Lisa and Kara each selected artists that they have worked with in the past and have great respect for, due to their daring and inventive approaches to large scale installation The artists were presented with the exhibition theme, and invited to submit a proposal for a site-specific work that the audience could “Inhabit.” Most of the installations are being created specifically for this exhibition, while some works are a revitalized version of a former work, in response to the space. Participating Artists: Michael Bauman / Kelly Boehmer / Laura Bustamante / Martin Casuso / Tricia Cooke / Vanessa Diaz / TD Gillispie / Adrienne Rose Gionta / Donna Haynes / Luke Jenkins / Anna Kell / Anja Marais / Laura Marsh / Roberto Rafael Navarrete / Mumbi O'Brien / Kerry Phillip READ FULL OVERVIEW For more information about the exhibition email leah@fatvillage.com.

NTUZZI ITALIA Fort Lauderdale (Opening Reception)
In 1938, Cuban artist Wifredo Lam arrived in Paris where he quickly gained the support of Pablo Picasso and was inspired by the dreamlike work of the Surrealists. When he returned to Cuba (1941 to 1951), he created some of his most expressive works of art, fusing Surrealism and Magic Realism to create a hybrid style that would signal a new direction for Modern art in Latin America.
In the 1950s, he joined his friend, the Danish painter Asger Jorn, a founder of the post-World War II avant-garde art movement CoBrA, in the Italian coastal town Albissola, where they and other CoBrA artists worked in the historic ceramic workshops. Lam became so consumed by this medium that he returned to Albissola multiple times, eventually buying a house there in 1961. Lam created some 300 ceramic pieces in the last twenty-five years of his life. Join Boston College Hispanic Studies professor Elizabeth Thompson Goizueta as she discusses Wifredo Lam’s fascination with the ceramic medium and his inspiration from Pablo Picasso and CoBrA artists. Program generously sponsored by Ramón and Nercys Cernuda. |
