\u2018Roots to Fly,\u2019 Rubem Robierb<\/p>\n
On view through Sunday, March 15.<\/p>\n
VISU Contemporary, 2160 Park Ave., Miami Beach<\/p>\n
From winged installations on Lincoln Road to the city\u2019s Official Host Poster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Rubem Robierb\u2019s work has become part of Miami\u2019s visual fabric.<\/p>\n
Now at VISU Contemporary, Robierb\u2019s \u201cRoots to Fly\u201d brings together nearly 30 works in sculpture, painting, and mixed media. The exhibition traces Robierb\u2019s path from Maranh\u00e3o, Brazil, to Miami.<\/p>\n
The title frames the exhibition\u2019s core tension. Roots speak to origin and inheritance. Wings suggest movement, resilience, and self-definition. Robierb\u2019s practice operates between the two, balancing personal history with an expanding public presence.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoots to Fly\u201d also reflects VISU Contemporary\u2019s continued growth as a platform for ambitious contemporary artists, following the gallery\u2019s recent high-profile David LaChapelle exhibition<\/p>\n

On view through Saturday, April 18.<\/p>\n
Nina Johnson, 6315 NW Second Ave., Miami<\/p>\n
Working across sculpture, sound, performance, and video, Constanza Alarc\u00f3n Tennen treats sound as material\u2014physical, relational, and activated through the body.<\/p>\n
Tennen\u2019s solo exhibition, \u201cTu, yo, y todo el viento entremedio\u201d at Nina Johnson, centers on a suspended stoneware whistle sculpture designed for collective use, surrounded by ceramic sound works that function as both objects and instruments. Drawing from pre-Columbian sound artifacts, Alarc\u00f3n Tennen reimagines sculpture as exchange rather than form, collapsing distinctions between viewer and performer, touch and sound.<\/p>\n
Installed within the gallery\u2019s bookshelves, drawings, videos, and ancillary objects operate as an open notebook or cabinet of curiosities\u2014satellites to the primary sculptures that reveal the conceptual and material thinking behind the work. Together, these elements underscore the exhibition\u2019s multivalent nature, blurring distinctions between sculpture and performance, object and instrument, stillness and activation.<\/p>\n
Born and raised in Chile, Alarc\u00f3n Tennen is based between Boston and Santiago.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, Voyager,\u201d Anastasia Samoylova Dot Fiftyone Gallery \u2018Now, Voyager,\u2019 Anastasia Samoylova<\/p>\n
Through Friday, Feb. 20<\/p>\n
Dot Fiftyone Gallery, 7275 NE Fourth Ave., Miami<\/p>\n
In \u201cNow, Voyager,\u201d Anastasia Samoylova extends her photographic language into the territory of painting\u2014and of reckoning. These hybrid works, formed by overlaying photographs with poured and dripped paint, inhabit a charged space between document and abstraction, between the seen and the felt. Taking its title from Walt Whitman\u2019s exhortation, \u201cNow, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find,\u201d the series follows the artist\u2019s ongoing search for meaning within the shifting image of America.<\/p>\n
The exhibition opened in November at DotFiftyOne Gallery; it has been extended through Friday, Feb. 20.<\/p>\n
