Objects Decorative and Fine Arts
101/exhibit will kick off the art season with a show that attempts to tear down bias and build bridges between the fine and decorative arts. For too long galleries have been afraid to show work in the different realms together in fear of upsetting a boundary that we at 101/exhibit feel is arbitrary and antiquated. 101/exhibit will show bold important work from many eras, artists, and medium keeping true to our mission statement and ethos. Good work, whether it be fine or decorative, will be on display through September!

From September 12
New Works
Jamie Balridge, Laura DiNello, Cedric Smith, Elena Madden, Tobia Makover and Terry Strickland

New Works will also debut the photographic genius of South Florida newcomer Jamie Baldridge. Louisiana-based Baldridge is a master of digital manipulation adept at skillfully weaving a delicate blend of surreal Victorian-imagery and compelling characters that effortlessly blend to form truly unique and unforgettable tales. PressitOn Art Gallery will donate a portion of the proceeds to The Association of Hole in the Wall Camps.

From September 24 to October 17
Public Reception October 10, 7 pm
Work of Genius Barry Gross. Retrospective Three months ago, 60 year-old Barry Gross was a struggling Miami artist hit by hard times and relegated to living in his car. Today, he's not only celebrating the opening of an exhilarating solo show, but also poised to become the “hottest contemporary artist in America” thanks to a starring role on new reality TV show “Work Of Genius” slated to air on FOX this fall.

TM Sisters’ WHIRL CRASH GO!
The Miami-based collaborative transformed Locust Projects’ space for a site-specific performance and exhibition.

Monica Lopez De Victoria, 28, and Tasha Lopez De Victoria, 26, grew up in Miami and collaborate under the name TM Sisters. They work in the media of video, digital video performance, VJing, collage, social experiments, zines, clothing, installations, and interactive video created along with their brother Samuel. Their do-it-yourself ethic began with their being home-schooled together by their parents. Their upbringing included frequent discussions regarding spirituality, psychology, behavior, relationships, creativity, and truth. The sisters’ work has been included in the international exhibitions "Uncertain States of America: American Art in the 3rd Millennium," curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Daniel Birnbaum, and Gunnar B. Kvaran; the Second Moscow Biennial of Contemporary Art; and “PERFORMA 07”. Recent exhibitions include “(((sparks))),” Hedreen Gallery at Seattle University, Seattle, WA and “IDEALTONIGHT,” Hollywood Art and Culture Center, Hollywood, FL.

This is the second year that Austrian-based dealer and private collector Prof. Ernst Hilger has teamed up with Locust Projects to support emerging artists. The TM Sisters were selected to receive a $2,000 cash prize and the opportunity to create a seminal work within the Locust Projects’ space.
