FAB 5 FIGS - CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF THE RAW FIGS COMMUNITY

Activations on Thursdays April 16th, 23rd, & 30th 7-9pm

Closing Celebration on May 1st 5-9pm

Swampspace is thrilled to host FAB 5 FIGS, a look back at five years of Raw Figs, the preeminent Figure drawing series in Miami-Dade. In the spirit of taking art to the streets, this vibrant community has coalesced in unexpected places from rooftops to restaurants, bookshops and museums. Balancing their drawing boards from the beaches to waist deep waters of The Everglades, they now take over our very own Swamp in the Design District. Join us for a series of weekly drawing events that culminate with a grand finale on May 1st. The exhibition will feature artwork produced on site along with select works from the archive of Raw Figs director Vida Sofia-memorable pieces of a journey greater than the sum of its parts.

About: Raw Fig Founded by Vida Sofia in 2020, Raw Figs sprouted as a sanctuary and a way to reconnect with her own drawing practice. It has blossomed into a strong community where anyone can explore their artistic potential. Events are donation-based to maintain accessibility and aim to push the boundaries of traditional figure drawing, both for artist and model.

About: Swampspace was founded in 2005 in the Miami Design District as an alternative art space rooted in civic engagement presenting varied cultural events for the novice and seasoned art enthusiasts.  Info: swampspace.com

The exhibition will include works on paper, made specifically for the show, which are mailed in by dozens of Cooper Union Alumni from around the world to express their personal connections to each other and with our city.

Partial list includes: Aramis Gutierez, Brian Booth, Juan Cardona, Daniel Arsham, David Brooks , Daniel Young, Ezekiel Jahbari Binns, Fharid LaTorre, Leo Castaneda, Luis Ignacio Figallo, Lulu Sanchez, Maria Rodriguez Jimenez, Marilyn Marcus, Moises Sanabria , Paloma Izquierdo, William Lane and Zachary A Teplin.

CYMATICS Where Sound Meets Sight 

OPENS DECMBER 3rd  6-10pm

Visit Swampspace to experience the recent work of Douglas Hoekzema while he explore the trajectory of sound as a dynamic expression of mark-making using Cymatics practice to reveal the profound impact sound frequencies have on the human condition. Hoxxoh demonstrates how sound waves can create intricate geometric patterns in paint. 

About the Artist: Douglas Hoekzema is a Miami-based artist whose style emphasizes mark-making, color, and mechanized paint applications. His use of improvisational mechanisms allow new series to represent new time in his artistic practice.
