ARTECHOUSE, leading American innovative digital art space, continues its pioneering work in the field of digital art exhibition for visitors of all ages with the opening of its newest location at 736 Collins Avenue.
The new location in Miami Beach complements the success of Artechouse’s first art space which opened June 2017 in Washington DC, where as many as 300,000 people have visited. On view now, XYZT: Abstract Landscapes is a world-travelled digital exhibition by internationally acclaimed contemporary digital artists and multimedia choreographers Adrien M & Claire B. The exhibition invites visitors to step into imaginary territory of lines, dots, and letters, and immerse themselves into a virtual playground of four dimensions: X (horizontal), Y (vertical), Z (depth), and T (time). Whether walking on floors that react to footsteps, manipulating light particles within a giant digital cube or blowing into glass boxes and witnessing virtual letters that assemble and disassemble as by a touch of magic, one is in for an immersive sensory encounter. The exhibition melds playful exploration with scientific reasoning, as each installation is accompanied by a video on the nature of the underlying physical behavior, complete with excerpts from related dance performances. The exhibition is open daily, 7 days a week from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. with a new session every 60 minutes. Tickets ranging from $17-$24. For more information, visit Artechouse.com

The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) is presenting a groundbreaking exhibition celebrating the founding of AFRICOBRA – the black artist collective that defined the visual aesthetic of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The exhibition is on display at MOCA through April 7, 2019. The exhibition brings together Sherman Beck, Jeff Donaldson, Jae Jarrell, Wadsworth Jarrell, Napoleon Jones-Henderson, Barbara Jones-Hogu, Omar Lama, Carolyn Mims Lawrence, Nelson Stevens and Gerald Williams to look back at their early contributions to shaping AFRICOBRA while presenting the artists’ current works of art. AFRICOBRA’s visual language is defined by the use of text, bright "Coolade" colors, dynamic, gestural markings, and raw, emotive, celebratory images of confident black figures. The vision these artists created went on to define the aesthetic of the Black Arts Movement. For more information, visit MOCANOMI.com
