GUEST POST: 

This April AMOA-Arthouse in Austin gears up for their smart + fun annual fundraiser titled, 5 x 7. Guests can attend the Splurge event to kick-off the exhibition where they have a “first look” and chance to make one (or many) of the original works of art, donated by artists, their own. While the selection won’t be as substantial following Splurge, 5 x 7 inch works of art are available for purchase throughout the duration of the exhibition.

I have been noticing a lot of this lately and I love it.  Bold, geometric,and  simple .  What do you think of this art trend?

GUEST POST // This month I’ve stumbled upon work that I’m almost reluctant to share. I found the work of Debbie Carlos on, of all places, Etsy! There’s a femininity, sense of humor and fantasy in her rather sizable printed “posters.” Visit her websitehere and her Etsy shop here

Ann Hamilton’s installation “The Event of a Thread,” at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, was a monumental, ephemeral and nostalgic, temporary work of art. I’ve experienced this piece through the images captured by some of my closest friends. Their renderings of Hamilton’s work are the images framed below. In Hamilton’s own words:

“I can remember the feeling of swinging—how hard we would work for those split seconds, flung at furthest extension, just before the inevitable downward and backward pull, when we felt momentarily free of gravity, a little hiccup of suspension when our hands loosened on the chain and our torsos raised off the seat. We were sailing, so inside the motion—time stopped—and then suddenly rushed again toward us. We would line up on the playground and try to touch the sky, alone together.”

Amidst the late night parties that spill out onto the beach, and the 40+ satellite fairs that have evolved around Art Basel Miami Beach, there are important private cum public collections housed around Miami that are worth the visit. Below is a selection to add to your list for next winter.
