Locust Projects

The Spirit Your Mind group exhibition is on at Miami’s Free Spirits Sports Cafe during Miami Art Week, running December 1 to 6.

Presented in collaboration with Chalet Society and Locust Projects, the sports bar will use all of its television screens to exhibit several video works, rather than sports matches, by contemporary artists separated into two chapters: the ‘Hypnotic Chapter’ and the ‘Media Chapter’.

Curated by Isabelle Kowal, Marie Maertens, and Anissa Touati, exhibiting artists include Matthias Bitzer, Samuel Boutruche, Jesper Just, Ange Leccia, Gonzalo Lebrija, Angelica Mesiti, Laure Prouvost, Florian and Michael Quistrebert, Rafaël Rozendaal, Christian Jankowski, Oliver Laric, Jillian Mayer, Jim Shaw, and Chloe Wise.

It’s December, which means the art (and art-adjacent) crowd takes over the US coastal city, with Art Basel and other events surrounding it at various locations throughout the city between December 1 and 6.

The biggest of the three fairs, Art Basel, runs between December 2 and 6 with over 250 international galleries showing modern and contemporary art, including Berlin’s Contemporary Fine Arts, New York’s Galerie Lelong, and Lisson Gallery, as well as Daniel Keller and Guan Xiao with Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler.

Picks from on the fringe include the Spirit Your Mind group exhibition, hosted by Chalet Society, the Littlest Sister “faux invitational art fair” at Spinello Projects and Martine Syms‘ NITE LIFE exhibition at Locust Projects, .

Other art fair alternatives include NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance), running December 3 to 5, and and PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, running from December 1 to 5, with their own list of (sometimes overlapping) galleries and their talent, including C L E A R I N G, Temnikova & Kasela Gallery, and The Sunday Painter at NADA, and Transfer Gallery and Faith Holland at PULSE, plus more.
