As part of Oolite Arts’ ongoing 40th anniversary celebrations, One Is Two and Two Are Many More examines the institution’s influence on Miami’s evolving cultural landscape and the artist-led initiatives that have helped define it. The exhibition brings together four decades of creative exchange and independent projects that have intersected with Oolite Arts, including the Alliance Film/Video Co-Op, Ground Level Gallery, Imperfect Utopia, the Listening Gallery, and CAVA.
Featuring works by Carlos Betancourt, william cordova, Dara Friedman, Luis Gispert, GeoVanna Gonzalez, Robert Melee, and Tag Purvis, the exhibition highlights how artmaking, experimentation, and collaboration have shaped Miami’s creative fabric. Designed in collaboration with Office GA, the presentation creates a space where past and present meet in dialogue, inviting reflection on how artistic communities grow through shared vision and innovation.
“Co-op Cohort!”
Curated by Barron Sherer
On view Nov. 19, 2025 – Jan. 18, 2026
Presented as a companion to One Is Two and Two Are Many More, Co-op Cohort! revisits the artist-run legacy of the Alliance Film/Video Cooperative, founded in 1992 by Mark Boswell and William Keddell. Supported by the City of Miami Beach, the Co-op transformed Lincoln Rd into a hub for experimental cinema, offering affordable access to equipment, editing bays, and workshops while nurturing a generation of filmmakers working outside commercial systems.
Featuring restored works by key members including Barron Sherer, José Isaza, and Rodney Ascher, the exhibition captures a defining moment in Miami’s creative evolution when collaboration, resourcefulness, and community shaped the city’s independent film scene. “Co-op Cohort!” honors this legacy and reaffirms Oolite Arts’ ongoing commitment to experimentation and artistic exchange.
