Since its launch in 2002, Miami Art Week has attracted countless collectors, art luminaries and art lovers to its bustling metropolis; so much so that satellite fairs are spreading wild across the city, from the famed Miami Beach to Wynwood, Downtown, Brickell, all the way to the budding new art neighborhoods such as Little Haiti or Kendall. Just because you’ve visited the main fair, several satellite fairs and some South Beach club for the after-party, doesn\u2019t mean you’ve seen all that Miami Art Week has to offer, actually you\u2019ve barely scratched the surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes the best representation of Miami Art Week is outside of the big fairs, outside the great white tent.<\/p>\n Here are some recommendations:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>AfriCOBRA: Messages to the People<\/strong><\/em> at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami<\/p>\n \u201cNorth Miami, MOCA\u2019s home, is a majority-minority city, a microcosm of the diversity of Miami as a whole and represents the city\u2019s largely African and Caribbean-American demographics\u2026. MOCA strives to feature exhibitions that connect the interests of our diverse community with important, historic contemporary art movements. The exhibition AfriCOBRA: Messages to the People does just that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>– MOCA North Miami Executive Director Chana Budgazad Sheldon said<\/p>\n Against Gravity <\/strong><\/em>by Doral museum at Collection suites<\/p>\n DORCAM presents a compelling display of today\u2019s most evocative modern and contemporary art pieces at Collection Suites, a stunning environment crafted for the most discerning collectors. The exhibition features striking contemporary authors across various creative fields: from cutting-edge artworks by prominent modernist painters and sculptors. More than 50 artists and 20 unique collectors joined DORCAM and Collection Suites to unveil this immersive experience that will display over 200 compelling artworks and collection pieces \u2013 plus an exclusive performance by contemporary artist Marielle Plaisir and opera singer Angel Refus\u00e9.<\/p>\n Baker’s Brunch<\/i><\/strong> by Bakehouse Art Complex<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe Bakehouse is at a pivotal point in its 30-plus year history, as it is planning its next phase of growth and development. Its assets are increasingly more valuable, as Miami-based artists, paradoxically, have not always benefitted from Miami\u2019s rapid and successful urbanization. Bakehouse, always, has aimed to support the most promising talent, so Quinn was an obvious curatorial choice\u2014and voice\u2014for the institution as it embarks on this new chapter. The exhibition metaphorically explores the conceptual power of the individual and the collective as it relates to the past, present, and future of Bakehouse. The organization\u2019s birth was, and its future is, dependent on the collective good will and efforts of the artists it serves, the community it aims to engage, and the generosity of the public and private sectors who believe in its potential to be a place where great art is made.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>-Cathy Leff, Bakehouse Acting Director\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Demons InKpirations<\/i><\/strong> by Vicente Dopico-Lerner at the Kendall Art Center<\/p>\n Dopico-Lerner\u2019s work refuses to settle into anything in particular, yet holds shape and displays a strange clarity. This is the inner resistance in Dopico, fighting the urge to express, in order to more fully embody. In a sense, one expresses only what one already knows. However, what Dopico is after is not what he already knows, but rather what he does not. These are undiscovered territories that he wanted to reach. So he looked for things to create emotional, aesthetic and conceptual frictions for the drawings to work against. The essential unsettledness in his work is the sedimentation\u2014in form\u2014of this struggle situated at the heart of everything he made. In \u201cDemons Inkpirations,\u201d every mark is the embodiment of a wish to resist what is, to best become what it wants to be. This is what is most unsettling in his practice and revealing in this exhibition.<\/p>\n D FINE Artists and Exhibitions in the Rodr\u00edguez Collection<\/i><\/strong> at the Kendall Art Center<\/p>\n An all-inclusive book on the works, artists and exhibitions of The Rodr\u00edguez Collection, with more than 50 superbly reproduced artworks from one of Miami\u2019s foremost collectors of Cuban contemporary art.

This exhibition highlights Chicago\u2019s iconographic transition from abstraction to figuration, and explores the ways in which the artist\u2019s strong feminist voice transforms our understanding of modernism and its traditions. During the exhibition, the artist will present a new site-specific fireworks performance.<\/p>\n La luna en el espejo: Una mirada propia<\/i><\/strong> by Aluna Art Foundation at Galer\u00eda Ninoska Huerta<\/p>\n The Moon in the Mirror: A Gaze of Her Own at Ninoska Huerta Gallery in Coral Gables.

All of the paintings are from the Rubell Family Collection\u2019s permanent collection. Several of the paintings on view were recently received as a donation to the foundation in memory of Janet Fleisher.<\/p>\n Uninhabited Order<\/i><\/strong> by Alexandre Arrechea at Fredric Snitzer-Gallery<\/p>\n Fredric Sntizer Gallery hosts \u201cUninhabited Order,\u201d the solo exhibition of Cuban artist Alexandre Arrechea.

Some of his pieces are part of the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum in New York, CAB Burgos, Spain, Museum of Latin American Art, California, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Daros Collection, Switzerland and the Museo Centro de Arte Contempor\u00e1neo Reina Sofia in Madrid.<\/p>\n Watering Past Ground<\/i><\/strong> by Jos\u00e9 Bedia at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts<\/p>\n \u201cWatering Past Ground\u201d complements Bedia\u2019s prior artistic collaborations with the Arsht Center and includes the first public exhibition of four new works in a new series of paintings that explore two-dimensional and three-dimensional juxtapositions within irregularly shaped, large canvases.
