The exhibition explores various ways artists confront the intersection of unattainable, paradisal ideals and urban development, safe-space making, and sustainability in South Florida.

A majority of the artworks and projects have moving parts that function outside the studio, turning the gallery into a place for staging and disseminating information. The show features the remnants and documentation of performative gestures, sculpture, digital media, photography, sound-compositions, painting, and architectural models.

Together these works reflect upon some of the current socio-political and economic conditions in Miami by excavating raw emotion, shady political dealings, and hard truths while simultaneously using our frustration as a call to arms to think critically about our surroundings and take action.

HIGH TIDE was organized in October and November, while surveying art across South Florida, and reinforces the presence of contemporary art in Miami by bringing together alumni or current residents from multiple Miami-based programs like Cannonball, ArtCenter South Florida, and Artist in Residence in Everglades.

The exhibition also presents an important opportunity for early and mid-career artists living in South Florida to exhibit work that is critical and reflective, not market-based, during Art Basel.

Exhibiting Artists: Neil Bender, Guillermo Leon Gomez, Ana Mendez, Jacqueline Romano, Laurencia Strauss, Matthew Evan Taylor, and TVGOV.
