Incognitum Hactenus is a new quarterly journal featuring writing on art, horror, and philosophy. Conceived as an ongoing investigation into each sphere and its crossovers, the journal publishes new work by leading international scholars, artists, filmmakers, curators, musicians, and designers. With a focused interest in that which finds an affiliation with horrific contemporaneity and the exposure to radical thought, Incognitum Hactenum reveals the twisting of contingency (that which comes from outside) as it produces new monstrosities. We aim to tear asunder the fleshy belly of the established and expected. Editors: Caryn Coleman and Tom Trevatt.

Rachel De Joode, Seeing the Future, a skype-performance, 2011

A young, naked man stares at us, reacting in real-time via webcam; his image is projected onto a typical artist’s canvas and easel a few meters away. Every few minutes he speaks to us. Sometimes I hear what he says, “a woman walks across the room” or “the man with a blue jacket just moved towards the back”. Other times the Internet connection is too weak and his words become fragmented. But the audience understands he is watching us. We continue standing in front of him immobilized, it is awkward and the tension is real. Continue Reading More »

Fountain Art Fair:

Fountain Art Fair brought in its sixth edition of emerging artists, independent galleries and collectives to Miami this year, and I was glad to see this friendly fair back in Wynwood. It’s a perfect fit inside of the old industrial warehouse space. This fair reminds me of the newer Seven Miami project, but it’s been around the block a few more times. I enjoyed the electric energy of the galleries and showcased artists. It’s like a mini Wynwood Art Walk rolled into one space; very reminiscent of the local and familiar street art, DIY spaces and cutting edge contemporary boutique galleries that buzz all year long down here. This is the inviting, accessible, out of the box, punk rock attitude fair you have to see at least once in your art loving lifetime!

Pulse Miami VIP & Press Preview Night:

Pulse launched it’s seventh edition in the lower Wynwood Arts District with a bang! Amidst the opening party, overflowing drinks, endless buffets and upbeat music, the booths inside were buzzing in the spirit of Basel. Pulse offers a variety of programs that mixes up the fair nicely  and allows each gallery to showcase its artist(s) on a proper platform. Pulse Play> was one of my favorites due to my love affair with video art. This year it was curated by artist Lucie Fontaine and featured works by Ciprian Muresan, Daniella Isamit Morales to name a few. Also inside, was the Wagner + Partner Gallery, from Berlin, with its first ever American solo exhibition of artist Natascha Stellmach. They showcased the widely talked about artist with her “Fuck Art for Letting this Shit Happen;” a project based off of her former exhibition that involved Kurt Cobain’s ashes, a joint and much controversy. The outside garden allowed space for some larger-scale installations. Some of the installations from the Pulse Projects were: A nastolgic treasure trove of over a thousand found nic-nacs was Mac Premo’s The Dumpster Project, one of the longest experimental videos to date by Josh Azzarella and German based artist Michael Laube’s 22-11 installation.
