    Inspicio arts leadership Introduction to Craig Robins: 2:31 min. Photo: Raymond Elman. Music: Carmen Cicero. Design District building photos: Richard Patterson, Robin Hill, Lala Pereira, ra-haus. A Video Conversation with Visionary Craig Robins By Elman + Zummar + Zuckerman + Johnson Excerpt from the Dacra website: raig Robins is an entrepreneur, real estate developer, and art collector based in Miami, Florida. As the CEO C and President of Dacra, the real estate development company he founded in 1987, Robins focuses on de- veloping creative communities that integrate art, design, and architecture to accelerate asset value creation and enrich urban life. Dacra has spearheaded some of the most successful and transformative commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects in Miami’s history, including South Beach, the Lincoln Road area, Allison Island and currently, the Miami Design District. The latter is an 18-square block neighborhood dedicated to fashion, design, and art that incorporates the work of emerging and es- tablished architects, site-specific public art, and stores by the world’s most significant luxury brands. In the late 1980s through the early 1990s, Robins played an inte- gral role in the repositioning and revitalization of Miami’s South Beach through Dacra’s restoration of Art Deco landmarks, and the creation of new commercial and cultural opportunities. He realized that creative public programming would rapidly foster a sense of community, and his projects were defined in part by performances, public art, and dynamic events that were inclu- sive of residents and visitors to the area. In parallel, Dacra also developed mixed-use projects throughout South Beach, includ- ing Lincoln Road and Espanola Way, and later acquired an 8.5 acre parcel of land on Allison Island where they created a New Urbanist residential community, AQUA, featuring contemporary art and modern architecture.

Theme The theme for this exhibition proposal is Christianity and its influence on self-taught artists of the American South in the 1970s. II. Project Proposal In this exhibition, entitled Painting Through Faith: Self-Taught Artists of the American South, the focus lies on three artists: Sister Gertrude Morgan, Howard Finster, and Purvis Young. Each of these artists represent different areas of the American South, respectively from New Orleans, Louisiana, Rome, Georgia, and Miami, Florida. As this exhibition will show, their religious conviction and desire to create art permeates barriers of location, racial identity, and gender identity. Each artist is represented by 4 paintings that best exemplify their particular style and religious passion. This provides enough context to place the artists in conversation with one another and allow for thought provoking discussion from the visitors and intellectuals. The theme of this exhibition captures the role of religion in the practices of Southern self-taught artists. More particularly, Painting Through Faith investigates how the practice of Christianity and folk art permeated boundaries of race and gender just after the height of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1970s. Each work included was created in the 1970s and the included text prompts viewers to view the paintings with the Civil Rights Movement in mind. As Brown 2 the country was just recently engaged in a period of both terror and hope, these artists offer a unique perspective of how their environment shaped their perspective.

  • With His Work Heading to Next Year's Venice Biennale, the Late Artist
    With His Work Heading to Next Year’s Venice Biennale, the Late Artist Purvis Young Transcends the ‘Outsider’ Label The work of the energetic self-taught artist has become increasingly accepted into the institutional art world. artnet Gallery Network, September 5, 2018 Purvis Young, Angel and Warriors (c. 2007). Courtesy of Skot Foreman Gallery. The term “outsider artist” has been controversial since Roger Cardinal first coined it in the early 1970s. While it’s still part of the art-world lexicon, for some gallerists, the phrase feels particularly restrictive. “It’s limiting, for sure. You’re forced to start off conversations with prospective clients by defending the work,” says veteran New York dealer Skot Foreman. “It’s a handicap. It’s an obstacle, but one that I think can be overcome.” Foreman should know a thing or two about overcoming this kind of obstacle. One of his biggest and most successful clients is artist Purvis Young, who has been labeled an outsider artist since first being discovered in Miami in the 1970s. Indeed, Young had all the hallmarks that we associate with the outsider perspective: He came from humble origins, living for much of his life in poverty in Overtown, a predominantly black neighborhood on the outskirts of Miami; he was self-trained, picking up all his skill and knowledge from library books rather than art schools; and he often used found objects in his work, from cardboard to crates to doors to just about anything that paint would stick to. Purvis Young. Courtesy of Skot Foreman Gallery. Some 50 years later, the “outsider” label still clings to his legacy, despite the fact that his career transcended it time and time again.

  • JAMES FUENTES PURVIS YOUNG PART ONE James Fuentes Online
    JAMES FUENTES 55 Delancey Street New York, NY 10002 (212) 577-1201 [email protected] PURVIS YOUNG PART ONE PART TWO James Fuentes Online James Fuentes Gallery November 1–December 1, 2020 November 11–December 6, 2020 James Fuentes is pleased to announce an extended exhibition of the work of PURVIS YOUNG (1943–2010), presented at the gallery’s physical location at 55 Delancey St, New York as well as through James Fuentes Online. Spanning work from the mid-1970s through the ‘80s and ‘90s, the exhibition is divided into two parts, each revealing formal and thematic resonances that together reflect the great breadth of Young’s prescient work. Works in the exhibition are for sale from the collection of the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation. Young was self-taught, producing a remarkable number of works over his lifetime that convey rich scenes—at once pictorial and spiritual—of his life spent in the inner-city Miami neighborhood of Overtown. Informed by an early practice of drawing from life, Young began making paintings in the 1960s. Blending techniques of painting, drawing, and collage, Young collected discarded materials found on the streets and in abandoned buildings across his locale to incorporate as the surfaces for his work. Elements of action, figuration, and storytelling are laid over a series of structural devices, acti- vating the ways in which the found materials onto which Young painted would serve to frame the images placed upon them. While some of these panels are smoother or more straightforward in proportion, others approach a mode of assemblage that reflect the variable and multi-layered narratives found across the artist’s work.

CHI LAM Riding his bicycle around Overtown’s trash-strewn streets in the 1970s, Purvis Young might well have looked like another of the then-blighted neighborhood’s lost souls.
