Because of the pandemic, we at The CAMP Gallery wanted to find a way to still exhibit and present artists with opportunities to exhibit, within the confines of social distancing. We came up with the following - give the gallery to artists to curate and present their own exhibition without the constraints of the gallery itself. We invited Miami based, but international artists, Khotan and Beatriz Chachamovits, two artists who had never met, but shared an approach to art so close that they unknowingly fed off of one another! Included in this project was the artists had to meet, to come up with their curatorial plan, write their statements, and install their work - as they imagined it should be seen. Below is what Khotan and Beatriz had to say about their work and the exhibition they entitled: Symbiote.

"Dyadic Dynamics,” by Khotan Fernandez and Beatriz Chachamovits, 2020. Acrylic and pastel on canvas. 52 x 79 in,
The symbiotic creation of “Dyadic Dynamics”, by Beatriz Chachamovits and Khotan Fernandez, on one canvas, speaks to the relationship between self and world, between “unlike” communities, between fear and pandemic and critical interrogation of everything we think we know. The piece itself is a material manifestation of the need for collaboration, open-mindedness, and trust that there is always something beautiful to be found in the not-so-beautiful.
