Wade Tullier at Primary<\/p>\n

Louisiana-born sculptor and ceramicist Wade Tullier stages a new show at Primary this month, his third with the Little River gallery. \u201cSky, Sea, Fruit, Hand, Seed\u201d analyzes ideas around monuments and their usage as tools of power and control by depicting sustenance-giving fruit as objects worthy of veneration.

Clo Pantano at D\u00e1le Zine<\/p>\n

Honduras-born Clo Pantano is next up at D\u00e1le Zine with a show titled \u201cPoem Forever.\u201d Working \u201cbetween cuteness and darkness,\u201d according to a press statement, the artist uses unstable, tangible materials like paper, plaster, and found objects in sculptures, paintings, and drawings. Opened Saturday, April 4, at D\u00e1le Zine, 50 NE 40th St., Miami; dalezineshop.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harumi Abe at Edge Zones<\/p>\n

Longtime Miami resident Harumi Abe will show a new collection of paintings at Edge Zones this month. The painter\u2019s work in \u201cOnce, Under This Sky\u201d combines South Florida landscapes with those of her native Japan, emphasizing geographical in-betweenness and the principle of ichi-go ichi-e, the idea that everything only happens once. Opened Saturday, April 4, and runs through Saturday, May 16, at Edge Zones, 3317 NW Seventh Ave., Miami; 305-303-8852; edgezones.org<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEvidence of Evolution\u201d at Queue Gallery<\/p>\n

Queue Gallery continues to serve up some of the boldest contemporary art in Miami. Its latest show, \u201cEvidence of Evolution,\u201d the first at the gallery\u2019s new location in the same Little Havana plaza as Tunnel Projects, is a duo show for Los Angeles-based painter Jamieson Pearl and Miami native Fharid LaTorre. Both artists choose dark and provocative subject matter, with Pearl\u2019s pixelated paintings of sordid, internet-sourced images of mugshots and LiveLeak screenshots pairing well with LaTorre\u2019s more abstract, sculptural works of bone-like objects fixed by metallic implements resembling medical tools. David Cronenberg would love this stuff (complimentary). Opens Friday, April 10, and runs through Friday, May 22, at Queue Gallery, 300 SW 12th Ave., Unit 324-A, Miami; queuegallery.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n
