This captivating exhibition reveals artist Anabella Bergero’s colorful “Latinx Pop visual universe” through an array of artworks, including textile art, fashion design pieces, collages, and digitally printed murals. The exhibition transforms the Faena Art Project Room into a vibrant gathering space, celebrating creativity and fostering communal joy. Photo by Sol Alonso Anabella Bergero’s artistry boldly challenges and deconstructs stereotypical notions of “Latinidad,” while using the experimental art space as a thriving community center. As part of the exhibition, Bergero is engaging with visitors through a series of interactive events. Visitors can partake in tie-dye workshops, participate in podcast recordings, and join an enlightening art panel, amongst other events, creating a vibrant hub of creativity and collaboration. Within the exhibition, colorful collaged images reconstruct narratives of Latin American life, and seamlessly interweave kitsch religious and pop culture iconography. A particularly striking feature in the exhibition is Bergero’s fashion design pieces, which transform the room into an atmospheric party-like scene. An innovative translucent window mural projects the art experience into the public sphere, extending an open invitation for collaboration with passersby. The exhibition is on view at the Faena Art Project Room located on 3420 Collins Ave, Miami Beach until October 14 (ww.faenaart.org/programs/project-room). Check out the Faena Art website and Instagram for updates on this fall’s exhibitions and programming. In an interview with Miami Living Magazine, Bergero provides insights into her artistic vision, inspirations, and the significance of “Heart of Community”. In your exhibition, you blend pop culture and religious iconography in your work. Could you tell us about your use of collage and other mediums in this exhibition? In my exhibition at the Faena Art Project Room, “Heart of Community,” I blend pop culture and religious iconography to explore the visual languages of Latinx culture. The gallery features dresses, textiles, film, and photography, encouraging engagement and celebration of culture, art, identity, and creative expression. My references to the space come from exploring the construction of womanhood in Contemporary Latin America, drawing inspiration from cultural phenomena like the Quinceañera celebrations and the profound symbolism of religiosity that shapes our community’s identity. At the core of this exhibition lies collage, the chosen medium through which I weave together diverse visual elements from my research. Each carefully selected piece becomes a part of a larger narrative, allowing me to recreate an authentic experience of Latinidad that resonates with my personal upbringing and my diverse migratory moves across various Latin American countries and the United States. This exhibition is designed to engage and connect with the audience on a deeper level. Interactive elements and public activations breathe life into the space, inviting visitors to actively participate and contribute to the ongoing story. The gallery transforms into a living, evolving canvas, where culture, art, identity, and creative expression come together. Photo by Sol Alonso Could you share more details about the community-based events you are hosting, such as the tie-dye workshop and others? Can you tell us more about the community engagement aspect of the exhibition? In “Heart of Community,” a series of public activities transform the Faena Art Project Room into a living, breathing, creative organism. The core of this program lies in seeking art in our day-to-day lives and finding beauty and creativity in our everyday rites, traditions, and urban spaces. It’s a captivating journey where the audience becomes an integral part of the installation, completing the space through their participation as creators. I’ve scheduled a range of creative workshops as part of the exhibition, each designed to inspire and empower the community. From vibrant tie-dye workshops that infuse colors into our lives to recording podcast episodes that invite the community’s voices to be heard, there’s an engaging and inclusive atmosphere that permeates the space. I also have the pleasure of hosting fashion lessons for my university students, fostering their creative growth and exploration of self-expression. But it doesn’t stop there; we are creating a new segment of activities starting this September at the gallery. I’ve titled it “Heart Opening” sessions, where I collaborate with diverse professionals and organizations to curate public activities that nurture wellness and creativity. These sessions offer visitors valuable tools, fresh perspectives, and a creative framework they can carry into their daily lives. “Heart of Community” is a living expression of our collective spirit. As a creator, the connection with each visitor is profoundly fulfilling, knowing that the art we create together extends beyond the gallery walls and becomes an integral part of our lives. I am grateful for the opportunity to foster a sense of togetherness and creativity within the community. Photos by Oriol Tarridas and Sol Alonso What inspired you to create this Latinx Pop Visual Universe? My inspiration for the exhibition stems from my personal journey as a woman within the Latinx community, both in Latin America and the USA. It all began in a quest going deep into my own Quinceañera experience, which sparked a profound curiosity about this rite of passage and its significance in a broader cultural context. Having grown up in Argentina and later migrating to Mexico during my transition from girlhood to womanhood, these experiences have deeply influenced my artistic inquiries. Over the past 8 years, my creative practice has been driven by questions revolving around culture, identity, womanhood, community, and the essence of Latinidad. In this installation, I aim to integrate the myriad of questions that have guided my research and creative journey so far, offering a unique exploration of the rich tapestry that encompasses the Latinx experience. The exhibition is a culmination of my personal reflections and a celebration of the multifaceted nature of our cultural heritage. How does your background as a visual artist and fashion designer influence your artistic style and the pieces featured in the exhibition? This installation merges fashion and art, reflecting my background and training in both fields. Drawing inspiration as well from architecture, my creative process explores concepts through a diverse range of media and perspectives. Each project I’ve developed carries a unique identity, residing in its own universe. The common thread binding them is the content, rather than the form. Throughout my creative journey, I’ve consistently delved into the intricate relationship between identity, the environments that shape us, gender, and culture. My migratory experiences have had a profound impact on this exploration. Encountering different cultural frameworks has challenged and enriched my sense of self, leading to constant introspection and self-discovery. Through my art, I seek to delve deeper into these layers of identity and meaning. Can you give us a glimpse of any other exciting updates coming up for you this year? My purpose is to create and nurture spaces within the community where acts of creation are not only valued but also celebrated and acknowledged, whether it’s at an individual level or as a collective endeavor. This mission is at the heart of my creative practice, evident in interventions like the “Heart of Community” installation, as well as in my role as a coach and facilitator. The “Heart of Community” project is particularly special to me as it brings together all the different layers of my professional development: art, design, curating public programming and community engagement. It’s thrilling to witness how this endeavor continues to evolve and make a significant impact on the community. The experience has been truly rewarding and transformative, and I’m grateful for the unwavering support of Faena Art and the incredible long-standing collaborators, including Mimaki, as well as the local supporter Economy Sign. As I move forward on this journey, I’ll be sharing regular updates about upcoming workshops, exhibitions, drops, and news through my online platforms: www.anabella-bergero.com and @anibergero. I invite you to join me in this inspiring exploration! By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Anabella Bergero

Art Basel is delighted to announce today that Bridget Finn has been appointed Director of its Miami Beach show. In this role, Finn will steer the direction of the Miami Beach edition as it continues to innovate, overseeing the team staging the fair, cultivating and expanding Art Basel's network of galleries, collectors, and artists in the Americas, and working in concert with Miami and South Florida's world-class museums, institutions, and cultural partners. Finn will focus on strengthening Art Basel's position as the premier Modern and contemporary art fair in the Americas and a global platform for the dialogue and discovery of new artistic practices and perspectives from the region. Finn will begin her directorship in September 2023 and will be based in New York. She will report to Vincenzo de Bellis, Director, Fairs and Exhibition Platforms, and work closely alongside Maureen Bruckmayr, Head of Business and Management Americas. Finn brings to the role a deep knowledge of the gallery ecosystem. Before joining the eponymous, Detroit-based gallery Reyes | Finn, she directed the contemporary art program at Mitchell-Innes & Nash (2013-2017) and held several roles at Anton Kern Gallery (2007-2010) in New York. As part of a gallerist collective, she established the collaborative curatorial project space Cleopatra's (2008-2018) in New York, which later operated a Berlin location, working collaboratively with hundreds of artists and cultural producers for a decade. Previously, Finn served as the Director of Strategic Planning & Projects at Independent Curators International (ICI) (2010-2013), where she developed unique projects and formats in partnership with leading galleries, museums, auction houses, corporations, and philanthropic organizations to deliver contemporary art programs to broad public audiences. Finn comes to the position with an intimate understanding of the North and South American art markets and an extensive, established network of galleries, collectors, artists, curators, and institutional leaders across the region, within and outside of the traditional hotspots in the U.S. A Detroit native, Finn co-founded the city-wide exhibition platform Art Mile Detroit in 2020, serving dozens of local galleries, institutional non-profits, museums, and artist-run spaces. In 2022, she established FLOURISH, a platform that employs art to drive advancements and positive transformations for children affected by rare diseases. She currently sits on the Board of Trustees of Independent Curators International (ICI) and is active on the Advisory Committee of the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC). "We are thrilled with Bridget’s appointment and could not have found a better fit to lead our Miami Beach fair," says Noah Horowitz, CEO, Art Basel. "She is deeply committed to Art Basel's mission and strategic direction, and to our contributions in shaping and promoting the health and vibrancy of the art world ecosystem and local art scenes in Miami Beach and beyond. She has vision, ambition, and the requisite skillset in spades to drive forward our team and our many new and longtime partners in Miami Beach. I am immensely proud to welcome her to the Art Basel family." Vincenzo de Bellis, Director, Fairs and Exhibition Platforms, says: "Our Miami Beach show is absolutely singular – in its history and topography, in its character and spirit, and in the extraordinary community of Miami Beach that continues to shape this landmark fair and cultural experience of unparalleled quality. Bridget is a lifelong partner to and champion of galleries and artists. She brings invaluable leadership experience, a wide network of collectors, galleries, artists, and cultural partners, and unfettered enthusiasm for and conviction in Art Basel's purpose and vision. I am confident that she will take our show and all that makes it unique into an even stronger, brighter future." Of being named the Director of the stalwart Americas edition, which in 2022 celebrated its milestone twentieth anniversary, Finn says, "I am deeply honored to assume this role, and to join in the transformative journey of Art Basel Miami Beach since it was launched more than 20 years ago – the global anchor for the North and South American creative community and industry, in the heart of the incredible city of Miami Beach. I look forward to the many collaborations and contributions that lie ahead with our galleries, patrons, and partners, as we look towards the next 20 years with limitless possibilities. We will continue to propel the show to new heights of artistic excellence and profound impact." Finn will lead the Miami Beach show in 2024. She will attend the 2023 edition in December, which is spearheaded by de Bellis. She joins Art Basel alongside the recently appointed Maike Cruse, Director, Art Basel Basel; Clément Delépine, Director, Paris+ par Art Basel; and Angelle Siyang-Le, Director, Art Basel Hong Kong.
