Alex Trimino: Luminous

Miami-based artist Alex Trimino reveals similarities between modern, hi-tech materials (micro-controlled neon lights) and colloquial, lo-tech crafts (crochet, knitting, and weavings). The works create equilibrium between traditions, technologies, and generations. Old methods and new technologies commingle in ways that explore our connection to todays reality.

Lori Nozick: Walkabout

This site-specific installation focuses on the concept of a passage, a journey through the wilderness that takes place as an adolescent or young adult. Nozick presents life as a walkabout in which we continually explore the unknown in order to discover ones self in relationship to the universe.

Curators Statement
I am excited about the three exhibitions we have on view to open the Centers 2012-13 season, all by Miami based artists Justin H. Long, Alex Tremino, and Lori Nozick. These shows emphasize site-specific installation within the Centers three galleries. In selecting these individuals, whose aesthetic and conceptual approach varies greatly, I believe there is an underlying synergy bringing their work together. As the individual projects evolved into completed shows, this compatibility became self-evident. This is rewarding, as I view my curatorial process often as an intuitive one.

In 1969, a man conquered perhaps the last obtainable conquest, a lap around the planet nonstop by himself. Since his 313 days at sea, few have done the same, some in larger and smaller boats, some in faster times, but none have ever claimed it as art. Sure some speak of the art of sailing, but this act of pulling oneself through the water, harnessing mother nature, is more than a creative act. This socalled art spans the gap between sport and lifestyle, defying material necessity. In fact, there is not a much more guaranteed way to lose money than sailboat racing. The ones that can provide, do, and the rest help in the pursuit of that feeling of satisfaction, cutting through the water, as fast and efficiently as possible. The search for uncontaminated inspiration and markmaking endures. As a huge obstacle course, covered mostly by water, the world needs to be conquered, over and over again. ... for Pogo
