PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY GALLERY DIET

Jonas Mekas, the seminal artist, filmaker and poet, makes his Miami debut at Gallery with Let Me Introduce Myself. The exhibition explores Mekas conversation with American culture and ideology by bringing together three series of photographs and a four-channel video installation. 

Since the mid-1950s, the Lithuanian-born Mekas has been a fixture of American avant-garde cinema, influencing generations of filmmakers and artists with his camera style that brings intimacy to the screen. The exhibition closes April 30th, 2016.

VIZCAYA ON THE BEACH | PHOTO COURTESY ARTCENTER

Now on view at ArtCenter, Vizcaya on the Beach highlights the Vizcaya Contemporary Arts Program (CAP) by exhibiting the work of Gaston Lachaise alongside recently commissioned work by Donna Altemus (2015), Maritza Molina (2015) and Ernesto Oroza (2011).

CAP commissions artists to develop site-specific work inspired by Vizcaya - an estate, conceived as a modern and subtropical interpretation of an eighteenth-century Italian villa by James Deering in 1914. Today, Vizcaya serves as an iconic piece of Miami history.
