NOVEMBER 28 – DECEMBER 3, 2022 – BOOTH A27
OCEAN DRIVE AND 12TH STREET, MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
Emerson Dorsch is excited to announce that we will return to UNTITLED Art Fair this December. This year our booth will highlight the work of Yanira Collado, Onajide Shabaka, and Robert Thiele. These three artists share a poetic thread honoring the ritual process by transforming cultural detritus (textiles, photography, printed matter, found objects) and breathing new life into what was once discarded.
A conversation takes place. Onajide Shabaka brings forth deep forgotten histories of the African Diaspora, ever present in nature, a nature he walks among, letting it be his guide, haunting but beautiful. A meditative layering of once-used fabric, Yanira Collado brings forth personal history, allowing the process to propel the past to the present. In Robert Thiele’s work, silent observation is key, and his works hold a secret. Nude figures encapsulated, slightly revealing. What is retained and kept hidden is essential to what is revealed. An unreconciled past spans throughout the works, giving weight to the ritual process and the continuous desire to mend what was and what is.
