2018 SOLO BOOTH ARTISTS

Miya Ando | Sundaram Tagore Gallery | Booth S-101 Miya Ando is an American artist known for her metal paintings that encapsulate both ephemerality and permanence. A descendant of Bizen sword makers, Miya Ando spent her childhood among Buddhist priests in a temple in Okayama, Japan, and later, in California. She combines the traditional techniques of her ancestry with modern industrial technology, skillfully transforming sheets of metal into ephemeral, abstract paintings suffused with color. Working across two and three dimensions, Ando’s oeuvre contains abstract painting and sculpture, including large-scale public art pieces that reflect the transitory essence of life.

Thomas Broadbent | Front Room Gallery | Booth S-213 Thomas Broadbent has shown extensively throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. Broadbent’s work won the Pulse Prize for best solo booth at Pulse Art Fair. His work was subsequently featured in “Mission to Space” at the Children’s Art Museum in Manhattan. His work is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Broadbent’s numerous solo exhibitions include the Visual Art’s Center of New Jersey, Croxhapox Gallery (Gent, Belgium) Voorkamer Gallery (Lier, Belgium) Inspace gallery (Beijing, China) and the Newark Arts Council. Broadbent’s work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Jersey Star-Ledger, NY Arts, The Brooklyn Rail and numerous other publications.

Jacob Gils | In The Gallery | Booth S-200 Jacob Gils lives and works in Denmark. He graduated from The Copenhagen School of Photography in 1990 and his art has gained recognition, in form of prices in the photography competition PRIX DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE PARIS (PX3) in 2012 and again in 2015. Jacob Gils’ both significant and easily recognizable style of multiple exposure makes his photographic work stand out. He intentionally questions his own artistic allegiance as well as that of the photographic genre, and his art always balances on the edge of reality and dream.

Louis Granet | Neumann Wolfson Art | Booth S-105 French artist Louis Granet (b. 1991, Bordeaux; lives and works in Paris) presented his first solo exhibition in the United States this year with Neumann Wolfson Art and has since shown across Europe and in a two- person exhibition at NWA alongside Michael Bevilacqua. For Pulse Miami Beach, the artist will present a painted installation that reflects the energy and sometimes serendipitous disorder characteristic of the urban underbellies of metropolitan centers like Miami Beach, New York, and Paris. For Granet, to see and experience the world around him is to play as a child might with a kaleidoscope. With his paintings, the artist contorts and conflates his personal snapshots of commercial, infrastructural, and personal scraps to play on the way we perceive abjection. The scale and sheer prismatic range of his cut-and-paste acrylic impressions challenge viewers to explore the radical possibilities of finding charm and humor in places most easily overlooked.

Domenico Grenci | NUOVA GALLERIA MORONE | Booth S-209 Domenico Grenci was born in Ardore (Italy) in 1981. He both lives and works in Bologna. He exhibited at the 54th Venice Biennial in the Arsenale, Tese di San Cristoforo, thus confirming the important work of this young Italian artist. He has taken part in various prizes and awards: the “Morandi” prize for engraving (2005); the SAMP Award (2006) with a purchase on the part of the Fondazione CARISBO; the Celeste Prize (2007); the Goldener Kentaur; the European Academic Award in Munich (2007, first prize); the “Maggio Fiorito” in Cento a Ferrara (2008, first prize); and the National Award for the Arts of Catania.

Joseph Guay | HATHAWAY | Booth S-103 Joseph Guay (born November 6, 1971) is an American fine art painter, sculptor, large scale photographer, and film director. Born in Lewiston, Maine to parents of French-Canadian descent. Guay resides in Atlanta, Georgia while working in Los Angeles, New York City, and London. Guay’s visual art focuses on political and social issues. His politically charged exhibition of paintings and sculptures titled "Remnants of the Human Condition" paid tribute to Trayvon Martin, Alton Sterling, Eric Garner, Pulse Nightclub, Sandy Hook Elementary, the World Trade Center, the Boston Marathon Bombings and the Dallas Police Officer Shootings.

Juliane Hundertmark | Heissingsart | Booth S-109 Hundertmark was born in Mainz in 1971 and lives in Berlin, Germany. She studied Design and Stage Design at Bayreuth and has a Masters in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Art of Nuremberg. Juliane Hundertmark communicates everyday truths as she experiences them, unmasking pretentions and formalities. She paints her characters in staged groups, without deception or glamour, her distinctive style uses unusual visual metaphors to convey these observations. Animal mimicry is used to describe both agressive and gentle behaviour, while eerie transparent spirits represent a character’s subconsious personality or spirit, and often appear beside their owners.

Kevan Jenson | Gibson Art Projects | Booth S-221 Kevan Jenson is a California-based painter notably working with smoke since the 1980’s. Jenson comes from a large family of artists, writers and musicians. He was mentored by eminent sculptor and UC Berkeley art professor Harold Paris. Jenson also worked closely with author and psychologist James Hillman, and continues to work with film artist Hito Steyerl. Jenson’s work was featured in a 20-year retrospective curated by Peter Selz – founder of BAMPFA (Berkeley) and former curator of painting at MoMA. Jenson’s paintings trace to Surrealism’s theories and practices of “automatic” processes as a pathway towards producing impactful imagery. He has been drawn into an engagement with smoke works – fumage – one of the classic Surrealist techniques of automatic image production (others include collage, frottage, cut-up, and automatic writing.)

Zhanna Kadyrova | Voloshyn Gallery | Booth S-111 Zhanna is going to perform by herself as a saleswoman, selling art objects by weight 1gramm for 1 Dollar. She recreates a recognizable kiosk selling food products with all its necessary accoutrements, including a table, mechanical scales, carts of vegetables, a plastic chair and a filament lamp illuminating the bright-blue tent stretched on a metal frame from within. The selection of goods is typical of street vendors: watermelons, zucchinis, eggplants, eggs, hams and sausages. The artist manufactured them of heavyweight construction materials: ceramic tiles, cement, concrete and natural stone. This is a site-specific installation embedded in the context of an art fair as a site of market relations.

Charlotte Keates | Arusha Gallery | Booth S-215 Borrowing from technical blueprint and architectural drawing, Keates’s work draws on the ideals of organic architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Hugo Haring and Bucky Fuller. Interiors recall the modish geometry of 1960s and ‘70s design, shown here in communion with elements from the natural world. Trees push through flat concrete, while perspectives unfold in sheets of glass. These images of modernist leisure leave one with the feeling of having entered a space only recently vacated, dramatizing stillness without surrendering movement.

Shai Kremer | Julie M Gallery Toronto | Booth S-222 Shai Kremer is an exciting and subversive conceptual photographer whose work has garnered enthusiastic international acclaim. Kremer’s critical photographs document the often-invisible training grounds, loci, and networks of military power that have sculpted the history of domination and control in Israel from ancient times through the present. Ruined interiors and landscapes infected with loaded sediments of oppressive conflict become a platform for discussion around the manifestations and misuses of power. Like the American photographer Richard Misrach, Kremer believes that "beauty can be a very powerful conveyor of difficult ideas." Shai Kremer has recently shown at the Tate Modern & the SF MoMA.

Richard Kurtz | Esperanza Projects | Booth S-214 My playful style speaks for an inner child inside all of us. The child preserves myth and wonder, heroes and villains, in a world of violent manufactured control. My artwork serves as an alternative to a rigid system, a key for the shackles that bind us. Scrap metal, discarded paper, fallen pieces of material life. These materials allow me to reassemble through collage a true image, with a coherent meaning, and a reminder for us all. I seek to reawaken the viewer, to foster awareness, to stimulate insight. I am a guerrilla artist with colors bright and energetic. With pure energy, I push away from the hands of a grotesque government complex, propaganda, limitation, the enemies of high consciousness. My role is to speak truth through images. My challenge is to do so without being appropriated by an unforgiving system.

Rafa Macarron | Allouche Gallery | Booth S-100 Rafa Macarrón (Madrid, 1981) lives and works in Madrid. His unique characters capture the viewer’s attention in each work, and represent at the same time the universal and the unrepeatable. The oneiric scenes and world of unusual figures present in his oeuvre emit tenderness and affability, despite of their dramatic quality and deformation. With a defined language and style, Macarron's painting is fluid, fresh and harmonious as a whole. Influenced by the comic, the Spanish painting of the 50’s and 60’s, and the work of Fraile, Matta or Quirós, Macarrón is an referential figure in contemporary painting. Winner of the first BMW painting prize in 2011, his work has been exhibited around the world and in numerous art fairs such as Context Art Miami, ARCOmadrid, Zona MACO, ArtBo, Art Miami and Art Moscow.

Kal Mansur | reference: contemporary | Booth S-201 Kal Mansur (born in 1965) is known for his acrylic glass sculptures, which he has been producing since 2006. He holds a BFA from the University of Texas (Austin). His art practice encompasses sculpture, painting, and large-scale installations. His work is characterized by acrylic pieces of varying colors and thicknesses contained within a diffused acrylic case. The work is unique in its use of diffusion and concealment as compositional elements. The sculptures emanate light, which becomes apparent when one focuses on the edges that cast shifting, hued shadows. This kinetic quality is foundational to Mansur's work, creating a hybrid between gestural abstraction and the pristine constructions found in minimalism.

Armando Mariño | COATES & SCARRY | Booth S-205 Armando Mariño’s paintings are characterised by his distinctive and highly saturated colour palette – bright pinks, oranges, greens and yellows that are offset by deep, dark shadows. Influenced by periods of time living in the varied landscapes of Cuba, the Netherlands, France and New York’s Hudson Valley, the artist’s large-scale works in New Paintings explore relationships between the figure and the natural environment. These new works focus particularly on palm trees, pine forests, mountain ranges and open areas of water.

Pierre-Luc Poujol | ARTELITE | Booth S-219 In the artistic line of action painting and abstract expressionism, Pierre-Luc Poujol chooses to paint using splashing and dripping method without having any direct contact with the support. Thus, he faces the emptiness of the canvas, aiming at projecting order and meaning on it with a strong desire to explore and discover new territories.

Aristotle Roufanis | Momentum Fine Art | Booth S-107 Over the past decade, Aristotle Roufanis, a Greek artist based in London, has developed a body of work titled Alone Together, which explores the contemporary urban phenomena of social alienation and loneliness. Utilizing moving and large format images, his sprawling urban canvas represents lifelessness and soullessness, with the smallest signs of human activity. It plays on ideas of modern loneliness, loss of social connection, and feeling alone and alienated, despite being surrounded by millions of other city dwellers. His work speaks of voyeurism and surveillance and has a universal quality that transcends cultural borders.

Winnie Truong | VIVIANEART | Booth S-203 Winnie Truong graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Ontario College of Art and Design (2010) and has received numerous grants and awards including the W.O. Forsyth Award, the 401 Richmond Career Launcher Prize, and the BMO 1st! Art award. Winnie Truong explores the naturalness of female form. Expanding upon a dedicated drawing practice, her latest body of work integrates colored pencil crayon and cut paper collage in the rendering of surreal imagery and fictional narrative. Continuing an overarching interest in the distortion of beauty, Truong’s latest series specifically considers representation of the idealized female form in relation to nature.

PROGRAMMING: PLAY MIAMI BEACH 2018

PLAY IS A DEDICATED SHOWCASE FOR VIDEO AND NEW MEDIA, SERVING AS A PLATFORM TO ENCOURAGE DISCOVERY WITHIN THE DIGITAL REALM.

Still from “Erendira” by Alicia Smith

PULSE Contemporary Art Fair and curators Jasmine Wahi and Rebecca Pauline Jampol are pleased to announce the selected artists for this year’s edition of PLAY. Wahi and Jampol are Co- Founders and Directors of Project For Empty Space and will host an exhibition at the organization’s Newark gallery space, showcasing the 2018 PLAY selections. The month-long exhibition, with an opening on October 10, 2018 from 6pm–8pm, underscores PULSE’s engagement with cutting-edge contemporary art both within and outside the fair setting. PLAY is PULSE’s dedicated showcase for video and new media, serving as a platform to encourage discovery within the digital realm. Following on the success of last two year’s call for submissions, this will mark the third collaboration between PULSE and curators Wahi and Jampol.

As selected by the curators, the theme for this year’s edition of PULSE PLAY is “A Violence,” a theme the curators chose to define in a broad sense, inviting artists to explore the multiple ways to interpret and contextualize the idea of violence beyond its physical definition. Contexts include: an internalized violence, a trauma, a political violence, a societal violence, a systemic violence, an intimate violence, and more.

“As with every year, this decision was incredibly difficult. We received so many fantastic submissions, and were really impressed by the range of work and interpretations that exist in this dialogue about violence,“ say Wahi & Jampol.

“The videos that we selected range widely in the types of violence that they address, and how they choose to portray the idea of “A Violence.” It is bittersweet to see the array of means and methods artists have employed to interpret the theme. So much beauty is born from so much devastating pain. What was particularly important for us in this project was to exemplify a span of subjects that ranged from the personal to the public; it was significant to choose voices that engage in nuanced and complicated understandings of systemic violence and the ashy fallout that comes with it. We hope that this program makes the audience think carefully and reflect upon the violences we see every day that are taken for granted or outrightly ignored.”

We are thrilled to announce the artists and videos selected for PULSE PLAY Miami Beach 2018: • Maggie Hazen, Call of the Lily • Renluka Maharaj, Lillah • Diego Lama, Los Inocentes • Alicia Smith, Erendira • MahlOt Sansosa, Étude de cas #75018: rien à craindre maintenant mais le soleil

PROGRAMMING: PROJECTS MIAMI BEACH 2018

PROJECTS IS COMMITTED TO THE PRESENTATION AND PROMOTION OF AUDIENCE-ENGAGING LARGE-SCALE SCULPTURES, INSTALLATION AND PERFORMANCES.

PROJECTS SPECIAL COMMISSION: MIYA ANDO Moonlit Clouds Comprised of suspended, gossamer silk banners, Moonlit Clouds is an immersive installation that features signature cloud imagery that Miya Ando photographed in Miami in 2017. The site-specific work invites meditation and interaction with visitors, activating the PULSE tent space to create an experiential entry into the art fair.

Inspired by Buddhist teachings, the banners feature unique cloud artwork that creates an opportunity for visitors to become aware of nature and the environment of PULSE. The installation explores the idea that the things we see change our state of mind with the intent to promote calmness, an awareness of inter-connectivity, and an attention to the viewer’s relationship to time and the present moment via the visual vocabulary of clouds – the wildcards of climate change – which connote transitoriness. The balance between the transparency, opacity, and form of the lightweight and sheer silk chiffon play with visitors’ perceptions of light and materiality, while also creating a contemplative environment.

LAFLEUR & BOGAERT, Famasi Mobil Kongolè

Mobile pharmacies are the main source of medicine for many Haitians. Street vendors carry spires of curved cardboard covered with pills —painkillers, antibiotics, Viagra knockoffs, condoms, abortion pills and cough syrups.

Exclusively for PROJECTS, Michel Lafleur (Haiti) and Tom Bogaert (Belgium) present new work inspired by the “Famasi Mobil Swis” originally commissioned by the Swiss Pavilion at the 2017 Ghetto Biennale in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Lafleur and Bogaert bring to PULSE a number of sculptural mobile pharmacies reminiscent of artist Bodys Isek Kingelez’ “extreme maquettes.” Lafleur & Bogaert, Famasi Mobil Kongolè, 2018, Electric lights, Congo Blue filter sheets, hand painted cardboard, plastic buckets, multicolored pills, rubber bands and pairs of scissors, Approx. 50 x 8 x 15 inches, Courtesy of the artists

JANA CRUDER & MATTHEW LAPENTA, Natural Plasticity

Artists Jana Cruder and Matthew LaPenta’s installation Natural Plasticity beckons viewers to examine their own roles and relationships with disposable plastics and the environment. The title references the adaptability of an organism to changes in its environment or differences between its various habitats, existing in or caused by unnatural additives; the changing of our natural environment due to the impact of disposable plastic. Looking back at the impact of the choice of disposable plastic.

Made out of post-consumer plastic and representative of a single American consumer’s use of disposable plastic in 1 year, these larger than life inflatable art sculptures are part of a traveling series of trash aimed at engaging public participation encouraging activism through art.

THOMAS BROADBENT, Rotating Moon

Rotating Moon is an open air, outdoor project with the sublime Miami Beach ocean view as the backdrop. Thomas Broadbent has created this installation with an illusion of the globular body of the moon hovering above the sandy beach surface, slowly rotating in space.

Projected on a large circular screen, the image of the moon rotates a complete 360 degrees in a 1.40-minute continuous loop. This allows the observer to view the moon in a new way, as the moon turns, the so called dark side of the moon comes into full detail in a seemingly 3-D form.

REBECA RANEY, Ghost Garden

Multidisciplinary artist Rebeca Raney creates Ghost Garden, a suspended, maximalist installation that will act as a site for visitors to gather, pause, and connect. Drawing from 1980s American malls, vintage Hermès ads, South American markets, and recent trends in contemporary art and installation, Raney combines sensations of abundance with her own detailed and idiosyncratic imagery.

Hand-painted Crêpe de Chine silk makes up the primary material of Ghost Garden, lending a focus to tactility, color, and scale ranging from large, architectural gestures to intimate details of ghosts, flowers, and other characters. Activated by airflow in the tent, the installation reveals waves of movement as the loose components shift and wave, evoking a suspended garden.

ANN LEWIS, One in Five of Us

One in Five of Us represents the statistic that 20% of American women will be raped in their lifetimes.

The advent of the #MeToo Movement has been powerful in illuminating this horrific reality in a largely abstract yet public space. With this work, Lewis offers a palpably violent moment of physical consciousness.

Visitors are invited to step within the installation and explore.

ALLISON JANAE HAMILTON, Sweet milk in the badlands

Sweet milk in the badlands looks toward ritual, storytelling, and trance in search of the connections between landscape and selfhood, place and disturbance. This series approaches landscape as integral to the understanding of both history and the present. Throughout the photographs — landscape works and environmental portraits — an uncanny cast of "haints," or spirits, leads the viewer through the beginnings of an epic tale that animates the land as a guide and witness. The collection of works considers the ways that land operates as a protagonist and considers each apparition that inhabits its terrain as a bridge between today's lived realities and the long history of the rural American landscape. The series was developed in North Florida and in Western Tennessee where the artist’s family lives

Knot Expected: Elevating the Everyday by Windy Chien

Knots are a part of the fabric of our every day. Whether tying our shoe laces, untangling a necklace or ear phones, or putting the final touch on a bow-wrapped package, they are all around. This persistent presence of such a functional item ignited an interest and journey in artist Windy Chien to elevate knots from the functional to the beautiful.

The challenge and journey of expanding her knowledge and command of knots led Windy Chien to submerge herself in the ancient, nautical craft of knot making – learning a different knot each day for one year. Knots have become her language; a celebration of the intersection of aesthetics and functionality; a way to bring into the Windy Chien, Knot Expected: Elevating the Everyday, present an artform of the past. 2018, Sunbrella textiles, Dimensions variable. Photo courtesy of Molly DeCoudreaux. By placing knots in new and unexpected contexts, they are transformed into something more than rope, something special, something that speaks. Blurring the lines between fine art and artful interior design, the knots remind us that even the smallest and most forgettable moments can be elevated into something unexpectedly beautiful and functional.

Sunbrella is pleased to present Knot Expected: Elevating the Everyday. Like Windy, we believe in and celebrate the bliss that is unleashed when beauty and functionality come together to create a new feeling and story. You can’t tie a knot without fabric, and that interwoven reality created the perfect synergy between Sunbrella and the art of Windy Chien.

Origin: Fictions of Belonging by Adrienne Elise Tarver

Origin: Fictions of Belonging is comprised of tactile, draping sheets of intersecting palms and leaves on wire mesh that hang from the ceiling like a rainforest canopy. Its presence and transparency explore the physicality of invisible boundaries that exist between us -- ‘veils’ as discussed by W.E.B. DuBois in The Souls of Black Folk. The work also taps into the imperialistic impulse to explore and the notion of discovery that created an appetite for tropical narratives. Male western artists such as Henri Rousseau and Paul Gauguin exoticized non- European environments and inhabitants resulting in problematic and exaggerated ideas of otherness. The overly saturated, non-specific, tropical greenery of Origin: Fictions of Belonging calls attention to the faux narrative and questions the origin of the accepted histories.

Califia Farms is a leading plant-based beverage company on the pursuit to return food to its original nourishing purpose. Founder and CEO, Greg Steltenpohl, was inspired by the legend of Califia, the beautiful black Queen who has come to be known as the “Spirit of Adrienne Elise Tarver, Origin: Fictions of Belonging, 2018, Acrylic and caulking on wire mesh, Dimensions California”.

TROPICOPHYA by Antonyo Marest

TROPICOPHYA depicts the union of two vibrant places like Spain and Miami – separated only by water – to feature the rich cultural history, beautiful weather, and eclectic colors that are home to each place. The mural references several similarities between Spain and Miami including: water, vegetation, sun, fauna, and the most important, culture. The colors of TROPICOPHYA are drawn from the Spanish flag with imagery of flamingos and the column representing Spain’s cultural stability and homage to the sun.

Spain's cultural and artistic richness is unique, brilliant and diverse. A luxury for the senses! It’s home to longstanding museums and renowned masterpieces by some of the world’s greatest artists including Velázquez, Goya, Miró, Dalí, and Picasso. Not only is this cultural history remarkable, Spain’s post-modern and contemporary art scene has also crystallized itself as vibrant and eclectic.

Disparity, experimentation, intellectual curiosity, decomposition are a selection of words that aim to explain where Spain’s art is today and where it is heading.
