Miami Art Week is an exciting time for art lovers, collectors, and creatives alike, and this year, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) North Miami is hosting an incredible public opening that you won't want to miss. On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, immerse yourself in an evening that brings together powerful art, live performances, and a taste of Miami's vibrant culture.
An Evening of Artistic Exploration
MOCA North Miami invites you to experience a night of inspiration during their Miami Art Week Reception. This event will celebrate three remarkable exhibitions that tackle themes of identity, history, and transformation through a variety of artistic mediums.
Andrea Chung: Between Too Late and Too Early
Delve into the captivating works of Andrea Chung, which span multiple mediums and explore the complexities of colonial legacies as they relate to motherhood, Blackness, trauma, and imagination. Chung's artistry encourages viewers to reflect on these deeply impactful subjects and their relevance today.
Smita Sen: Embodied
Discover the incredible journey of artist Smita Sen as she uses dance to inspire her sculptures and drawings. This exhibition features works influenced by Sen's dance-based performances, capturing the beauty of movement and the translation of that motion into tangible art. It's an intimate glimpse into how creativity can evolve through the body.
Nicole Salcedo: Earth Gate
Step into Nicole Salcedo's world as part of MOCA's Art on The Plaza series, where she presents Earth Gate. This intricately carved, anthropomorphic gate symbolizes the spirit of nature and explores the interconnectedness of humanity and the environment. Salcedo's work resonates with the importance of embracing and honoring the natural world.
