Experiencing FOMO from all the Instagram posts of “Yayoi Kusama: Love is Calling” at the Pérez Art Museum Miami? The exhibit is still going strong throughout the summer. Lose yourself in the largest and most immersive of the famed Japanese artist’s Infinity Mirror Rooms, filled with inflated, illuminated tentacles covered in Kusama’s signature polka dots. Explore while an audio track of the artist reading her love poem, Residing in a Castle of Tears, plays in Japanese.
Wynwood’s Museum of Graffiti is turning air pollution into art in its exhibit, “Reduce, Reuse, Remix: Graffiti Art for a Better Earth.” Fifteen artists—including Ahol Sniffs Glue, Abstrk, Daniel Fila (aka Krave), Nico, Sero, and Gustavo Oviedo—created works using found objects and natural materials. But perhaps their most notable medium is Air-Ink, a paint-like substance made by attaching filters to vehicle exhaust pipes to suck up air pollution that is then compressed and converted into ink.
Images by the late American portrait photographer Arnold Newman are on display at the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum. “Expressions of Self: Arnold Newman’s Artist Portraits in Context” showcases decades of his pioneering style of environmental portraiture. Instead of stale shots of public figures that were once de rigueur, Newman’s images offer insight into his fellow artists by capturing them in their workspaces and homes. Part of the museum’s permanent collection, the 20 portraits featured in this exhibition are paired with works by some of the artists themselves.
