Yinka Shonibare “Venus de Arles” 2018
Perez Art Museum, Miami (PAMM)
Based on the ancient Greco-Roman statue Venus de Arles, Shonibare recreates it covered in “African” fabric that was actually mass-produced by Dutch trading companies based on Indonesian designs to sell to West Africa, as well as westerners looking for “aexotic” fabrics. This (along with other details like the Dutch wax globe instead of a head) comment on the history of Western colonialism in Africa
This piece is part of the “Allied with Power” exhibition being held of the Perez collection of African diaspora art from Africa, Latin America (Brazil et. all) and the USA

Arttechouse Miami: Multimedia artist Refik Anadol uses data to create art. Here the wind meterological data is visualized. Would you like to see more?

We could keep ourselves from taking so many images here! The exhibit is incredibly immersive. If you find yourself in Miami Beach, this is a must. Arttechouse is permanent, but this exhibition will be closing at the end of January.
