Looking unsure and a bit lost, VIPs from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami straggle into the dim underground garage of a nondescript Little Havana strip mall on a recent Saturday morning. They\u2019re here for a tour, but can this be the right place?<\/p>\n

It is.<\/p>\n

This is the home of Tunnel Projects<\/a>, Miami\u2019s newest, most unlikely \u2014 and perhaps buzziest \u2014 center for art-making and exhibition. Rarely before has a name so perfectly captured the look and feel of an endeavor that has, almost surreptitiously, dug its way into a space where it\u2019s not supposed to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s underground, literally and figuratively,\u201d said Sterling Rook, a Miami multimedia artist<\/a> whose show of silkscreened images, \u201cShupingagua,\u201d his Peruvian mother\u2019s Indigenous family name, is on display through April 25 in the Tunnel\u2019s compact parking-garage gallery. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of the allure. It feels like you\u2019re on the ground floor of a new thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
