2017 SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS.

Deep See Project Curated by Carol Damian
At the entrance to the Pavilions
The Deep See project seeks to leverage the power of art as a means of communication to heighten awareness about climate change, marine safety and conservation, and sea level rise. The installation serves as a platform for artists and organizations dedicated to the sea. Sponsored by the MIART Foundation, Tina Spiro, Edouard Duval-Carrie and Jacek Kolasinksi, three prominent environmentally engaged artists with deep ties to Miami, have joined forces to address the awesome power and fragility of the sea, the origin and necessity of life on earth.
SOUND POSITIONS in the CONTEXT Pavilion

The exhibition will feature individual listening stations dedicated to the work of a solo artist.
SCULPTURE POSITIONS in the CONTEXT Pavilion

Sculpture Positions is a curatorial program that provides the opportunity for exhibitors to present experimental and innovative developments in contemporary sculpture throughout the fair.
Donald Ian McCaw - Heron Arts, San Francisco

in the CONTEXT Pavilion
Donald Ian McCaw is a Canadian artist who situates his very personal autobiographical paintings in the context of a very impersonal story about a businessman seeking to reinvent the way fine art is made. McCaw plays out the story of Mba Fabrications Inc. at art fairs where he presents outrageous business initiatives with convincing earnestness. As Blake Gopnik wrote in ARTNET News in March 2017,“McCaw has created a trompe-l’oeil vision of our current intersection of science, business, finance and art”.
Nadja Verena Marcin - 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel, New York

in the CONTEXT Pavilion
Thomas Jaeckel Gallery is pleased to present a performance/installation by German-born artist Nadja Marcin. “OPHELIA” will be an architectural, interdisciplinary performance—presented live and as video sculpture—which evokes questions of anthropocentric attitudes and actions that are resulting in human destruction of the biosphere. The iconic artwork and text that have inspired and will inform this performance, include “Ophelia” (John Everett Millais, 1852), “Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank” (Jeff Koons, 1985), and text from “The Werld” (Daniil Kharms, 1939)
“RAWK” by Jason Newsted | Presented by 55Bellechasse | to Benefit the Perry J. Cohen Foundation in the Art Miami Pavilion

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Jason Newsted presents an international exhibition of his contemporary art entitled “RAWK”. A portion of sales proceeds from the exhibit will generously be donated to the Perry J. Cohen Foundation. www.pjcf.org
