A Look Back at ABMB 2022 and Our FAV Booths

Stop by Booth G20 at Art Basel Miami Beach to see Naudline Pierre’s And Ye Shall Be Consumed, 2022. In this work, a luminous figure powerfully engages with numerous winged creatures, whose faces emerge slowly out of the darkness. These angelic forces have human, pointedly feminine facial features, but do not possess earthly bodies. Their sense of ephemerality and movement is in stark contrast to the central protagonist, whose corporeal form in shades of yellow grounds the composition and seems to radiate strength and stillness in the midst of activity.
.
Pierre has noted that she imagines her winged figures to possess divine intelligence. Here, they are witness to the central figure’s engulfment in flames, a phenomenon Pierre is drawn to for its “sense of tension and danger, but also passion.” In Pierre’s iconography, which mines encounters between the earthly and the otherworldly, flames come to represent positive agents of change and transition, to which her figures submit themselves willingly.

Mrs. is thrilled to announce our participation in Art Basel Miami Beach 2023 this December! We will be presenting a solo booth by Jamaican artist Nickola Pottinger.

Nickola Pottinger (b. 1986, Kingston, Jamaica) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, and earned her BFA from The Cooper Union. Pottinger’s striking sculptures result from an intuitive process that the artist developed involving paper pulp, collage, pigments and embedded found objects, including from her block in Brooklyn. Described as wall reliefs, they are quizzical, irregular, vaguely ritual, and seem on the verge of motion — a kinetic charge that conveys, if abstractly, the Jamaican-born artist’s dance background and interest in the body. Recent exhibitions include Chapter NY, Sergeant’s Daughters, and the New Museum Triennial, New York; Galerie Julien Cadet, Paris; and the Galveston Artist Residency, Texas. Previous solo exhibitions include Parker Gallery, Los Angeles, Deanna Evans Projects, New York, NY and The Armory Show, New York, NY, which was reviewed by the New York Times. The artist will have her first solo exhibition with Mrs. in January, 2024.

📣 Spinello Projects announces their participation in Art Basel Miami Beach featuring emerging 26-year-old queer Puerto Rican painter Esaí Alfredo within the Positions sector. This will be the gallery`s fourth time presenting at Art Basel Miami Beach and second time presenting in the Positions sector.

Spinello Projects presents Mundo Nocturno (Nocturnal World), the international debut solo booth presentation by emerging 26-year-old queer Puerto Rican artist, Esaí Alfredo within the Positions sector at Art Basel Miami Beach. The booth comprises of a suite of night scene paintings that serves as a “sequel” to his NIGHTFALL series, which was based on the Issac Asimov short story of the same title. These new paintings continue to take inspiration from science fiction while set in the landscape of his hometown of Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. Alfredo’s paintings draw inspiration from his early exposure to pop culture, sci-fi, horror, and disaster literature and cinema, while also centering the gay male figure and gaze. In his paintings, characters in relation with one another come together to set a scene where more questions are asked than answered.

Whilst the halls of Miami’s #conventioncenter might not yet be decked with boughs of holly, the mood of many at #abmb remains seasonally jolly. An inclination I find rather peculiar and which has the worrywart in me wondering where such cheery optimism hails from. Aren’t we all meant to be preparing for the big collective fall, as we lean over the edge like a slice of lemmings undone by pecuniary vertigo and stare a global #recession born of disease, discord and debt squarely in the face? The answer, quite literally, stares us in the face. To be able to clickety-clack your way around an #artfair and pick up a trinket or two you need only one thing and that’s cash money, honey. The #art that decks these halls is reassuringly expensive so that it functions not just as an aesthetic experience for its buyer but, crucially, as a satisfying signifier of their status. Rich people do so like to let you know that they’re malodorously rich and what’s a more festive way of telegraphing your monied position than through the bubbles of #contemporaryart? Following on from the high jinks of Cattelan’s taped banana in 2019, #perrotin have stolen the show once more with a work by a collective of Banksy-like digital disruptors called #mschf. This is their “ATM Leaderboard” (2022): a fully functioning #cashmachine that, once you have entered your card and PIN, takes a photo of you and discloses exactly how much #money you have in your checking account. It then posts you on a rolling, ranking leaderboard of worth. There’s no tacit whispering of wealth here. It screams money like a banshee because it’s about money and, importantly, how such money (and art) can place you at the top of the tree and let everyone else below you know that’s where you roost. Telling yet dumb; ironic yet depressing, this is art that augurs our fall. Yesterday saw a new leader hit the board, registering his bank balance of $3,004,913.06 to a round of applause. Is he one of the #artists? Maybe. Is that number for real? Who knows. Who cares? We all do, of course. Secretly, born of suspicion, fed on spite, thrilled yet crestfallen by this seductive, obnoxious sign of our god-forsaken times. #jackpot
