6 Dec South African born Storm Janse van Rensburg, head curator of exhibitions at SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, Georgia, has presented projects with Subodh Gupta, Hank Willis Thomas, Michael Joo, Robin Rhode, R&R Studios and mentalKLINIK, among others. Janse van Rensburg introduces Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez’s Chroma, a multi-faceted display of works inside the tent and on the beach at Untitled Miami Beach 2017.

7 Dec Los Angeles-based conceptual artist Glenn Kaino infuses his large-scale installations, performances and site- or situation-specific sculptural works with sociopolitical commentary and pop culture issues. He’s represented by Kavi Gupta, Chicago and Honor Fraser Gallery, Los Angeles. Kaino talks about With Drawn Arms, a collaborative drawing, sculpture and film project that he’s creating in partnership with 1968 Olympic Gold Medalist Tommie Smith. The film’s co-director Afshin Shahidi joins our conversation about the project slated to open at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, in Sep 2018, and travel to five other cities.

8 Dec A figurative painter based in Baltimore, Amy Sherald has recently come to the world’s attention when it became known that the National Portrait Gallery commissioned her to paint the portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama. Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago, represents the artist whose work is featured in Fictions, at the Studio Museum, Harlem through 7 Jan 2018. In 2018, she presents a solo exhibition at Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis, MO. This conversation explores the subtle nuances of blackness in Sherald’s figurative paintings.

9 Dec New York based Torkwase Dyson is a painter using distilled geometric abstraction to explore contemporary theories of space, architecture and extraction economies. Miami-based artist Adler Guerrier engages in a practice centered on notions of place, landscape, and gestural frameworks depicting phenomenological relations. On the Fresh Art International show at Untitled, the artists reflect on why they choose abstraction to represent their perspectives on race, ethnicity, class and culture. A selection of Dyson’s paintings that respond to the more than 4,000 lynchings in the U.S. between 1877 and 1950 are on view in On Documentary Abstraction at ArtCenter/South Florida, Miami Beach, through Dec 17. Following a recent solo exhibition at David Castillo Gallery, Miami, Guerrier participates in the 2017 Ghetto Biennial, Port-au-Prince, Haiti (Nov-Dec 2017) with a film that contemplates the architecture of placemaking in the urban landscape.

10 Dec Currently based in Albuquerque, NM, artist and technologist Sterling Crispin explores the relationships between the exponentially growing technological-other as it relates to our human bodies, minds and psyches. At Untitled Miami Beach 2017, he shows Totems, 2015-2017, with False Flag. Crispin talks about the role of technology in his work and explains what motivated him to create the open source software tool known as Cyber Paint, a creative tool and a space for self expression that uses data as material. The VR app leverages familiar tools for mark making and accelerates them, allowing new kinds of mark making never before possible.
