Feria Clandestina announces its third edition MAKING ROOM, expanding its program with a new home at the Gold Dust Motel. The fair remains and leads as Miami’s only community incubator art fair.
Clandestina will present 29 Exhibitor Rooms and five Special Projects showcasing 93 local, national, and international artists, its strongest proposal to date.
The selection for the 2024 edition of the fair presents two curator-driven selections., two foundations, seven galleries, and 25 artists’ proposals, including Linda Asano, Anna Biondo, Hannah Elissa Banciella, Chris Byrd, Monica Czukerberg, Dahlia Dreszer, Alejandro Glatt, Brandon Opalka, Rebecca White, and Raúl Santos urban artists debuting his décor line (Room 220).
Room 204, curated by Luna Goldberg, brings to the conversation a selection of new and existing works by eight artists from “The Crit Club”: Harumi Abe, Jen Clay, Jenna Efrein, Brooke Frank, Christian Feneck, Donna Haynes, Luke Jenkins, and Ingrid Schindall, highlighting how their thematic and aesthetic sensibilities have grown complementary over time.
XP · ART AGENCY (Cologne), an initiative dedicated to implementing unique and sustainable art projects that enhance the cultural landscape, presents Manuela Gjoka’s “300 Yards of Thought” along with a selection of works by Romain Burgy for Room 207.
The fair brings to Miami a vigorous selection of video and digital proposals, inviting visitors to think about their relationship with themselves, people, place, and time. The digital category includes a video art and textile installation by Lisu Vega (Miami) and Carlos Pedreañez (São Paulo), the sound installation “The Liberation of Meaning” by Richard Garet (Miami), which transforms the literary works of Uruguayan poet Mario Benedetti into a dynamic auditory experience, and “Above and Below” a multichannel site-specific installation designed to explore cross-cultural conversation around watershed ecologies as it relates to Detroit and Miami presented by BULK Space (Detroit).
Participating galleries will present strong proposals by emergent and mid-career artists, including Joan Jimenez and Destiny “Desi” Swoop with SUPERMARKET Gallery (Miami); Hermes Berrio, Margaret Roleke, and Lydia Viscardi with The CAMP GALLERY (Miami); South Korean artist MinSeok Chi and Gabriel Lengeling from Guanajuato with Galería Unión (CDMX).
Focusing on community building and participation, the fair will feature a residence by Jolt Radio, the city’s community radio station, and introduce a collaboration with MUD Foundation to expand the program beyond the traditional boundaries of the physical space.
Additionally, Miami’s contemporary-art grassroots fair will release its first art edition, as part of The Pool Pass, a limited edition floaty and print by Nice’N Easy.
Feria Clandestina is dedicated to creating lasting and inspiring impact during and beyond the fair. It does this by initiating and maintaining essential conversations in the cultural space. With this at heart, the fair is deeply grateful for the valuable input and support of its first ever Committee Members: Jess Allie, Co-Director of Bulk-Space; Chloe Berkowitz, Founder and President of Berkowitz Contemporary Foundation; and Neil Ramsey, The Creative Economist.
