From a distance Aaron Curry's
sculptures often look like two-
dimensional monsters. As one gets
closer the flattened image expands,
and one sees his abstractions for
what they are—a negotiation of
mass, color and form. On October
14, Curry and his greatest hits land
at The Bass in Miami for "Tune Yer
Head," a solo survey that takes the
form of an immersive environment.
To transform the museum halls into
a fully realized landscape, Curry will
install complementary carpet and
wallpaper for the first time. In short,
his colorful beasts will have a place
to call home! THEBASS.ORG
Dancing with Paint
For Grace Weaver's solo debut with James Cohan, the New
York-based painter unveils a body of work that embraces the
imperfections of the painting process. "Painting is so much about
problem solving, and acrylic comes with its own set of
challenges," Weaver says during a visit to her studio. Her new
series celebrates the quick-drying nature of acrylic paint and the
choreography of her custom brushes and markers, which she
implements in order to create her striped shirts and continuous
lines. See her works through October 28 and head to
culturedmag.com for an extended conversation.

Grace Weaver's ten-step, 2018
On November 1, Miami says
hello to its first Creative Time
Summit. This year's theme
derives its inspiration from the
unique position the Floridian
city occupies in relationship to
climate change, international
immigration patterns and
queer cultures. Titled "On
Archipelagos and Other
Imaginaries—Collective
Strategies to Inhabit the
World," the summit brings
together artists, scientists,
technologists and
philosophers for a discussion
on how we can do better by
one another. Tickets are
available online.
