In such a way the <a href=\"http:\/\/thembuilding.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">M Building<\/a> was one of the first venues to gather the art crowd that has been\u00a0together for almost a week in the rainy and humid South Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Located in the Wynwood Art District, the space which was a formerly 1950\u2019s manufacturing warehouse, later restored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.oppenoffice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chad Oppenheim<\/a>, was divided into four galleries that present works by hot and upcoming, but\u00a0also by very acclaimed and well known artists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\">On the ground floor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kukjegallery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kukje Gallery<\/a> presented \u201cAfterburner\u201d, a site specific installation by Aaron Young. The artist used a blowtorch to burn the walls of the space, thus creating a black surface that hosted his new ten works on canvas, showing the same technique of controlled application of direct flame. The works once again function as documentations of Young\u2019s rebellious acts, that still nest in the security of abstract painting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Hosted by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galerierodolphejanssen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Galerie Rodolphe Janssen<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.racheluffnergallery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel Uffner<\/a>, New York based artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.racheluffnergallery.com\/artists\/sam-moyer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sam Moyer<\/a> presented her solo show. Her work consists of an assemblage of slabs of marble and ink dyed fabric mounted to MDF that is so well executed that can be mistaken for actual marble. Hanging against the walls of the space, Moyer\u2019s marble paintings are like an oasis in the frenzy of Zombie Formalism, and prove that it can be effective\u00a0when things get off the beaten track and start evolving for real. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\">On the upper floor, things were more seminal\u00a0and certainly less cheerful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/2014\/09\/22\/in-dialogue-with-francois-odermatt-and-the-instinctive-side-of-collecting\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian collector Fran\u00e7ois Odermatt<\/a>, curated himself a group show with works from his collection. Instead of displaying a showcase of his new acquisitions, the art patron known for buying early emerging artists, this time brought together works from artists of different generations. As a result, there was a Jannis Kounellis Arte Povera sculpture, next to two canvas assemblages by artist Wyatt Khan, a star recently born that Odermatt seems to support a lot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Besides juxtaposing artists from different backgrounds, the presence of Canadian art in the show play a fundamental role\u201d as Odermatt claimed. Three abstract paintings by mid career Montreal painter Fran\u00e7ois Lacasse who is following the well-worn tradition of american abstract painting by pouring directly the paint onto canvas, were hanging next to a dazzling oil painting by the prominent Canadian artist Stephen Shearer whose upcoming solo show at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallery.ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Gallery of Canada<\/a> in 2017 has already been announced. The piece (2006)\u00a0pictures\u00a0one of Shearer\u2019s anonymous teenage characters whose grown up version was displayed at the artist\u2019s amazing solo show at\u00a0Galerie Eva Presenhuber last August. Born and raised in Quebec, <a href=\"http:\/\/nicolasbaier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nicolas Baier<\/a> was also featured in the show, with works characterized by his interest in physics and how this formulates our attitude towards\u00a0the\u00a0world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Fran\u00e7ois Odermatt presented a delightful and clever positioned group show, organized around an interesting and refreshing perception of formalism, thus proving his instinct and passion in collecting.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes the glossy Art Basel Miami Beach is less attractive than the parallel exhibitions and the satellite events that surround it.
