Collection As Such
Miles Gertler

Rideout’s expanding body of American Collection Paintings documents the growing economy of collection itself. Alongside a familiar catalogue of modern artworks, his recent canvases are populated by postmodern buildings and interiors designed by the likes of Arquitectonica and Charles Jencks, and objects and furniture authored by Ettore Sottsass and Peter Eisenman. This points to a moment in the 1970s when design began to enter the American art market as a new category for collection, heralded in particular by the first exhibition of architects by Leo Castelli in 1977.*

Castelli’s show began to establish not only the models, drawings, and other documents of architectural production as valued artifacts, but increasingly also the homes designed and built for collectors, aesthetes, and the “corporate Medici”* in Connecticut, Long Island and other such places within reach of New York. Ada Louise Huxtable’s review of the exhibition in the New York Times observed that “architecture is being perceived as an important art form now, equal to and intricately connected with painting and sculpture …They create their own images; in fact, they create their own worlds.”* Castelli’s gallery was where so many of contemporary painting and sculpture’s biggest names were represented and their output is well represented on the walls of Rideout’s domestic scenarios—several of which embody the architectural milieu of that moment.[+] Show More

"Wanderers" Tile Blush Gallery, Miami, 2019

Text by Patricia M. Hernandez

the entangled wanderer: thoughts from afar

Undoing ingrained racial and sexual mythologies
within feminist communities requires…
[becoming] fluent in each other’s histories,…
seeking unlikely coalitions…and ...clarifying the
meaning of its dialogue. What are the conditions,
the knowledges, and the attitudes that make a
noncolonised dialogue possible?

Chandra Talpade Mohanty, “Feminism Without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity,” Duke University Press, 2003.

Wanderers, brings together a group of artists who are no longer exclusively based in Miami or South Florida at large. Some have moved away permanently. Some have uncemented futures. Others still check in from time to time or keep a home away from home here.

Sitting between the Caribbean and the US, Miami is a city of multiple international narratives and unlikely coalitions of people. Miami is subjugated by histories that excludes the very nature of our identities as African Americans, Caribeños, Caucasians, Latinos, women, men, and queers. Also, it is important to acknowledge the very land we sit on is not our own, it once belonged to the indigenous peoples of Florida before they encountered Europeans.

Miami presents an endlessly growing amalgamation of neoliberal skylines with utter disregard to the ecological nightmare of rising waters, depleted wetlands, and the seemingly inevitable threat of climate change and political dislocations. To the uninitiated Miami can be a dauntingly transient, liminal and disorienting city entangled with a future built for investments, inclusive of some privileged voices, while excluding and erasing many others.

Like many outlier cities, it is often a place where artists stop in, experiment free from scrutiny, build their careers but eventually leave. Given Miami’s lack of job sector industries outside of real estate, tourism and wealth culture many artists in Miami find that there is limited viability to sustain themselves here. Others often leave to art world hub cities for their prestigious educational programs with their faculties of established artists. Some simply find better opportunities to branch out to other cities. Whatever their reasons, Wanderers provides an opportunity to catch up with or remember our extended art community friends and peers who have stepped away from Miami and South Florida.

Wanderers includes artists we know and love: Cristine Brache, Nicole Burko, Alejandro Cardenas, Naomi Fisher, Matt Lifson, Hugo Montoya, Jonathan Peck, Manny Prieres and Carlos Rigau. As part of her participation, curator Patricia M. Hernandez provided the short text above reflecting on a quote from postcolonial and feminist theorist Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s book “Feminism Without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing.”
