  • What is Art? featuring Alan Neider

    An insight and process behind the works of fiber artist Alan Neider.
    by Gabe Torres
    What is Art? featuring Alan Neider

    Joining us this time for our latest question with the artist is fiber and mixed media artist Alan Neider, where we ask him the simple question on the surface, but a never easy one to answer: What is Art?

     

    We've gotten a swathe of inspiration from our last artist interview, and how it makes the artist delve into not just what art is to them, but what their art means to others, and so Alan gives his insight on not only this, but what lead to his latest series of work.

  • Inside a Doll's House - Act 1

    The first part in a series of interview questions with the artists of This is Not a Doll's House
    by Gabe Torres
    Inside a Doll's House - Act 1
    As the exhibition This is Not a Doll's House continues in our North Miami space, we wanted to give the oppurtunity to shed some light on the finer details you might have missed out on with each artists work. Their inspirations, the analysis of the original Ibsen play, and their reactions to an ever-changing modern society norm all have major influences on their art, and that gives us great reasoning to prod their minds for the real reasons behind the Doll's House.
     
    This is the first part of many as we give questions to each of the artists participating in the show, and each week we'll have another set of artists to see their responses to what our interviewer asked them.

We wanted to be able to get a more in depth look at the inspiration and creation process that Ziesook takes into her transformative floral arrangements, taking a spin on traditional portraiture and the reasoning behind the multi-faceted and layered photographs shes made her own.
