Known for creating immersive tableaux vivant-style installations, Israel-based Shenhav uses soft materials like ash or foam to sculpt powerful scenes of domestic and urban life and destruction. For the installation, D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival), whose title is borrowed from the police jargon used to describe a murder scene, Shenhav meticulously recreates a hunter's cabin, complete with all of the tools of his trade: rifles, knives, guns, tree stumps, ammunition, traps, taxidermy deer heads and fur pelts.

924 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach

According to many social theorists, the world is getting smaller. Technology is continuously facilitating the process of globalization. This ever-changing technology is speeding up globalization while simultaneously making us more isolated. More and more, people are slowly rejecting technology to reconnect to the physical world and real people. This return to the past-to an analog time-could be a metaphor for the West Berlin of the 1980s when most of the artists in this exhibition developed and creativity was at its peak in experimentation. Today, Berlin is still booming with creativity, but in creative industries including many tech start-ups. The comeback of the analog is not simply a nostalgia for the past, but instead a driving force of a post-digital era, where a new hybrid physical and digital-phygital-future is emerging. In this allegory, Berlin's future is to be seen and redefined once again.

STUDIOcrawl
Wednesday, December 2 | 7-10 PM
924 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach

STUDIOcrawl, held every first Wednesday of the month, invites visitors to wander throughout the building, exchange with our artists in their studios and view our current exhibitions. In addition to the exhibition MIA_BER: You Are Leaving the American Sector, December's STUDIOcrawl will feature In Between, a selection of site specific performances, as part of a one-day performance festival, PerforMIA 2015 presented by Edge Zones and curated by Liz Ferrer. ArtCenter will also open Semiotic Tree by Jorge Wellesley in the 924 Vitrine and a selection of works by artists who just culminated their studio residencies.

ALSO ON VIEW IN WYNWOOD:

AMLgMATD | Laz Ojalde & Natalie Zlamalova
Opening Reception | Thursday, December 3, 2015 | 6-9 PM
On view through January 31, 2016
O Cinema Wynwood | 90 NW 29th St, Miami

AMLgMTD is the collaborative team of artists/designers Laz Ojalde and Natalie Zlamalova. AMLgMATD combines Zlamalova's geometric abstract forms and Ojalde's functional and aesthetic ideals. Ojalde is a mixed media artist whose inspiration comes from the love of the everyday object; the mundane, the functional, the gimmicky to the refined. His excitement is in reinterpreting them into new forms defined by the base principle of reduction and simplicity, while not diminishing the object's initial function. Zlamalova is a mixed media artist who explores the crossroads between the states of being asleep and awake-the hypnagogic state. Her ink washes are illogical and coincidental and contrast her hand-constructed geometric lines and patterns-the logical and the premeditated. She uses dreams, instinct and graphic design elements in her works that are developed through coincidence, chance and strict repetition through a process that in the end becomes more important than the result.
