THINGS THAT GO BUMP…   This exhibits is about fear. Fear has existed as part of our nature from first humans on into todays world. Fear can protect us from danger, be a  reaction to injustice, or a force that pits nations against each other. Fear spans global issues like climate change or can be the personal irrational fears we hold in dreams and dark corners. World and Eye celebrates artists that expose these fearful places as exploration, confrontation or hope.   Guests will also get to play with their own interactive mural of fears.

This is not this kind of exhibition. Here, curator Meg Kaplan-Noach challenges her own role by utilizing the concept of curation-by-chance as an exhibition-organizing methodology. She actively works to remove a unifying theme, instead exploring the subtleties of serendipity.

Spotlight on Mockingbird Trail

Multiple locations

Info Center at Cadence:
435 N Andrews Avenue, No. 2

The Mockingbird Trail is South Florida's first urban art exploration-based project! Created by Cadence, with help from Girls' Club and the Flagler Village Community Garden, the Mockingbird Trail invites the community to get out and explore and will launch Phase 1 during Art Fallout 2015.


The search is on for the giant Mockingbird. Have you seen it? Elusive to the human eye, the only hints of its existence is the evidence left behind through the work of sculptor, Valeria Yamamoto, visible along the 2-mile trail. 

While hitting the Trail, stop by Cadence Pop-up Gallery for a behind-the-scenes exhibit of the progress of the past 18 months of production. Cadence Pop-up Gallery will be an official trolley stop on the evening’s gallery route for this art-filled event. 


Knowledgeable Mockingbird Trail volunteers will be at each sculpture site to assist in guiding those who explore the neighborhood through Mockingbird Trail. Make sure to pick up a printed Field Guide available at each trail stop and online for download at mockingbirdtrail.com.

Spotlight on Glavovic Studio

724 NE 3 Avenue

 
The Margi Glavovic Nothard Studio and Glavovic Studio presents Flow, a dynamic exhibition and installation during Art Fallout 2015.

Inspired by the shifts, movement and life in the New River of Broward County, Flow is a large-scale public art project that connects the river and the community to the new Broward County Courthouse, embracing the public access Breezeway below the parking structure and the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.

The New River uniquely runs from the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean, entirely within Broward County, Florida. This vernacular feature, equal in width to the Breezeway FLOW occupies, provides inspiring tangible elements translated into textures and patterns applied to forms that modulate to accommodate seating, walkways and activated areas.

The project’s vitality travels the floor and wall surfaces creating a dynamic envelope inviting the public to experience FLOW. In addition to form and color, lighting activates the space as an integral part of the experience. Broad views making connections beyond the space, integrate the larger context of the Courthouse, the City and the Community. This project provides the community an urban hub in which everyone pauses, reconnects and re-exchanges with the environment and each other.


Founded in 1999, Glavovic Studio Inc. is an award-winning Architecture and Design Studio located in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Glavovic Studio explores and produces contemporary architecture, art and urban design, focusing on exceptional creative processes and client oriented services that engage the environment and provide social value.

Margi Nothard is the Design Director of Glavovic Studio. Through drawings, photographs, large scale installations, architecture and urban design Margi prompts her audience to slow down and experience the place they are in and experiencing with each of her designs and visual art projects.


Local projects from Nothard and Glavovic Studio include the renovation design of Girls' Club, the NSU Bridge Stair / Art Plaza_Threshold at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, ArtsPark at Young Circle in Hollywood, Young at Art Museum/Broward County Library with AECOM in Davie and the recently completed affordable housing project Kennedy Homes on Broward Blvd between 9th and 11th Avenues.

Spotlight on Girls' Club



117 NE 2 Street

Girls' Club presents their annual open-call exhibition "Art Fallout: Unframed," an exhibition of works on paper with a special public feedback element by way of color-coded sticky notes.

Art Fallout: Unframed
Over 100 works on paper from artists across South Florida will be exhibited as part of the interactive exhibit Art Fallout: Unframed. A panel of prominent South Florida arts professionals - including collectors, arts writers, gallery owners, independent curators, museum professionals - will informally judge the works and make comments on Purple stick notes. The public is also invited to give personal feedback to the artists via a system of color-coded handwritten messages. Artists go home with a stack of colorful sticky notes with comments, feedback, constructive criticism and sometimes contact info from interested curators/collectors.

Housed in a renovated warehouse whose facade illuminates from within, Girls' Club is a 501(c)3 private foundation and alternative space established in 2006 by Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz. As the only open private collection dedicated to contemporary art by women, Girls' Club mission is to educate the public, nurture the careers of female artists, and to serve as a resource for art students and scholars, curators and practicing artists on the contributions of women to the field of contemporary art. A special commitment is made to expose the work of local artists to a broader national and international audience.  Girls’ Club produces exhibitions, educational programming, publications and events that change lives, nurture local artists, and inspire cultural growth in Broward County.

Natalie Smallish of Radio-Active Records has organized Chicks with Discs, an audio and visual exhibition of vintage, rare and beloved vinyl records from local female record collectors. No longer are the labyrinth-ed halls and stacked racks of record stores the domain solely of the 'high fidelity' stereotype of the obsessive male. The aisles at Radio-Active, and the block-long lines for special events, have been increasingly gender balanced, with female collectors not only holding their own, but amassing an evermore eclectic mix of vinyl. The diverse showcase includes LPs by Black Sabbath, Joy Division, the Killers, Grover Washington Jr., Dolly Parton and Bob Dylan.

Mini Gramps & Super Duper Grub
Gramps Bar will be providing some social lubricants and fanciful cocktails by donation with their pop up Mini Gramps bar, while the Super Duper Grub food truck will be serving kid-friendly, health-conscious food just outside.

Henning Haupt Studio: 
The Power of Painting – a public community painting
823 NE 4 Avenue

At the studio of Henning Haupt on the newly engaged NE 4 Avenue corridor, a painting 8 x 16 feet will be orchestrated by the power of the community. The result will be a documentation of the engagement between the audience and the artist’s action as a tool of public power.

The public is invited to participate, discuss with other visitors and direct the artist’s actions. For a $1.00 contribution any visitor may select from a set of drawing and painting elements to be implemented by the artist in the painting. After 3 hours, at 8 pm the painting will be deconstructed into 12 panels and distributed by a raffle to the visitors.

Michel Pellus Studio
801 NE 4 Avenue

Self taught as an artist, Michel Pellus’ work has evolved over the course of his career. His early works were characterized by humor, optimism and rich symbolism. Realistic figures were set in fantasy landscapes giving a sense of cosmic duality.  Pellus has coined the term “subjective realism” to describe this style of painting
In his latest endeavor, Pellus has explored what he terms as  “Macro Realism,” close-up views of people and objects as seen under a magnifying glass on over-sized canvas.

Margi Nothard is the Design Director of Glavovic Studio, Inc, an award-winning Architecture and Design Studio located in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Through drawings, photographs, large scale installations, architecture and urban design, Margi prompts her audience to slow down and experience the place they are in with each of her designs and visual art projects. Her personal studio and the Glavovic Studio share a space in a re-purposed home on NE 3 Avenue.

The Margi Glavovic Nothard Studio / Glavovic Studio will exhibit Sunset Hammock: Vision of the Everglades a Viewing Portal_Tamarac Conceptual Public Art Project. Sunset Hammock renders saturated moments in time as the day reveals itself, increasing in intensity in color, view and connectivity to the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. This concept for a public art piece in Sunset Point Park, Tamarac, explores the expansiveness of the Everglades, the extreme juxtaposition of infrastructure transposed on the delicateness of ephiphytes, the integration of the wetland and the regeneration of systems, movement, community placemaking with tectonic form. The next phase commences at the end of the year and has been awarded an NEA Our Town Grant.

Mary Lou Siefker Studio
436 NE 3 Avenue

Mary Lou Siefker has been a resident of Fort Lauderdale for over three decades. She was married to a Dentist and has four children. She has taught painting and design at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, as well as serving as a docent in the education department at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

"Art is a building process, one painting pointing the way to another – one breakthrough causing an explosion of creative action. This whole process is a playful energetic explosion of color, line, brushstroke, value, intensity which evolves from my love of paint and making “marks” on a surface. My “marks” have explored horizons, land, water, skies, images as the “hook” to enter the canvas. Each painting becomes a time of joy and frustration, a battleground of highs and lows, and always attempting to learn more about the process, always pushing the borders. In the end there is always the question – Is this a painting?  
~ Mary Lou Siefker 



Francie Bishop Good Studio
117 NE 2 Street

Francie Bishop Good was born in Bethlehem, PA, and lives and works in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US, Europe and Latin America and is included in public and private collections in the US. Her work has appeared in publications, including The Miami Herald, Art in America, and ARTnews, among others.

Francie will be showing new work from the Fusions and Next Chapter series, both hybrids combining modes of painting, drawing, collage and photography with bold abstract shapes and lines that add tension and emotionality to the subjects. In these new series, the act of painting on top of a photograph is at once destructive and constructive; the lines and paint on the paper are a reaction to the picture below and an action to create new forms.

Spotlight on Bedlam Lorenz Assembly & 1310 Gallery

1310 SW 2 Court


Bedlam Lorenz Assembly and 1310 Gallery present Naughty by Nature: an array of South Floridian artists’ explorations, interpretations, and visual explanations of perhaps the single characteristic connecting us to one-another; the human body. Here, the corporeal and cerebral and the sexual and grotesque reveal themselves in sculptural and installation-based works with a distorted focus on flesh, tissue, organs and everything in between. Bear witness to individual discovery and open your realm of comfort to uncover the naked truth.
 
'Naughty by Nature' is curated by Zack Spechler + Tabatha Mudra and features work by Alejandra Aristizabal / Yael Azoulay / Adrienne Chadwick / Caroline Collette / Amanda Covach / Griselle Gaudnik / Jessie Laino / Ben Morey / Evie Metz / Samantha Nye / Lisa Rockford / Ali Spechler / Adrienne Tabet

Spotlight on MAC Fine Art

833 NE 4th Avenue 


MAC Fine Art is joining Art Fallout for the first time this year, hosting a group exhibition Sidetracked curated by Rochi Llaneza.  Sidetracked is a group show  where the work of the artists is either the result of being sidetracked or sidetracking intentionally to accomplish an objective.
 

Setting the tone for the exhibition is a quote from Sir Ken Robinson: "Divergent thinking ... is an essential capacity for creativity. It's the ability to see lots of possible answers to a question, lots of possible ways to interpret a question, to think laterally, to think not just in linear or convergent ways, to see multiple answers, not one."

Artists featured: Aaron Arroyave, Lidia Cara, Margartia Castro Don, Gary Fonseca, Julie Friel, and others.

MAC Fine Art is located in a 10,000 sq. ft. gallery that houses the vast MAC collection. MAC maintains an in house Multimedia Department complete with a digital photography studio, a state-of-the-art Gicleé printing facility, and a computer-graphic/prepress department. The space also features a custom design frame shop and shipping department, which allows for even greater quality control, giving the gallery full oversight of the collecting process, from initial contact through to the finish, delivery and installation of the artwork.

Street parking available.
