Joerg Doering, Nostalgic Pop
Adamar Fine Arts will host German Pop artist Joerg Doering for a solo exhibition of his large-scale iconographic images of Pop culture of yesteryear and today. Born in Germany in 1965, Doering is a child of the Pop Art Movement. "Pop art was my first aware meeting with art, and I was suddenly thrilled. Maybe because I was born in this time and grew up with this language.”
Doering first worked with Comic art icons such as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, yet always combined the cartoons with his own characters. Later he turned more to movie icons of era's past such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Steve McQueen.
The work makes a commentary on historical place and iconic status of the characters he paints. The result is a new fresh look at a bye-gone era's movers and shakers through ever challenging and discerning eyes. In Marilyn Sensational, Doering asks us to question just how sensational her life really was. With a large representation in Europe, Doering brings his newest work to Miami during Art Basel as a clever, fresh look at what defines pop culture then and now.

Aimee Lee Native Intelligence
Diaspora Vibe Gallery is pleased to present Hastings grad’s Fulbright Scholar Aimee Lee as she extends her paper trail to her debut Miami solo exhibition of reflections on paper and recent work. Her medium is pulp; the vehicle is water dipping, beating sifting. She has recently completed a year of Hanji history, practice and contemporary research in Korea where as a Fulbright Scholar she learned this ancient art of papermaking. Her book making, installation performance artwork uses paper that distinctly takes on a life of its own.

Native Intelligence presents new artworks that reside primarily in tradition and generational memory made tactile and texture-filled from the outcome of this ancient Hanji practice. Curated by Rosie Gordon -Wallace, Native Intelligence examines Aimee Lee’s journey with paper.

Until Dec. 31st
The Quistrebert Brothers
Carol Jazzar in association with The Consulate General of France in Miami is pleased to present the Miami debut of Florian & Michael Quistrebert, aka The Quistrebert Brothers.

For their first Miami solo exhibition, "Ice in the Sun", The Quistrebert Brothers will exhibit a series of paintings inspired by their recent residency in Brooklyn and their video 'Virgins', a loop featuring a static totemic figure drifting endlessly through a bejeweled vacuum of space that will enjoy a special large-scale screening outside on the gallery's lawn.

The paintings on view were produced during the pair's current residency (Jan-Dec 2009) in New York which was sponsored by the French Government. Working out of DUMBO, a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn characterized by large relatively inexpensive loft spaces and named after the acronym for Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass, The Quistrebert Brothers drew inspiration from the area's historic fabric, percolating it through filters of modern industry and the increasing gentrification of and by the urban landscape.

Carol Jazzar will participate in Scope art fair Booth #300 with Miami artists: Guerra de la Paz and Jen Stark.
