SCOPE MIAMI: THE PERFECT ENCOUNTER
Y Gallery
Booth 201
Dec 3rd - 7th, 2008
2951 NE 1st Avenue & NE 30th Street MIAMI, FL 33127
Y Gallery is pleased to present "THE PERFECT ENCOUNTER", a selection of works by leading and emerging contemporary artists at SCOPE MIAMI Art Fair, curated by Cecilia Jurado.
For this occasion, Jurado thought about the randomness of some encounters and how there is precision still. Like the little papers that James Lee Byars threw from the rooftop to the street that could hit one passing by with the unexpected message, “The Perfect Day”, “The Perfect Smile” or “The Perfect Kiss”. In another vein, Jurado calls upon Felix Gonzales Torres’ work “The Perfect Lovers”, two identical clocks bearing the same hour. For SCOPE Miami, the curator has selected works that give us different approaches to encounters, from the poetic and delicate, to the confrontational, and finally to the very violent ones. In the sea of encounters that Miami will bring, pair two people, pair two things and you will see the crash.
Participant Artists: Teresa Margolles, The Bruce High Quality Foundation, Artemio, Gabriel Acevedo Velarde, Norma Markley, Milagros De La Torre, Eung Ho Park, Dulce Pinzon, Tamara Kostianovsky, Catya Plate. Tyrome Tripoli, Jean Foos, Jesse Finley Reed, Elliott Lloyd, Lolita, Hannah Whitaker.

Funny Not Funny is an exhibition of artworks and performances that deal with the language, content, and representation of humor in overt and subtle ways. Artists who incorporate wit, absurdity, or satire into their practice create and confront the challenge of making serious work with humorous content, and question our understanding of “what is funny”. The exhibition aims to reveal the careful balance of levity and intellectual rigor inherent to works by artists who take the risk of using the language of humor in a discipline that is not a joke.
**Please note the gallery will be closed for Thanksgiving from Thursday, November 27th until Monday, December 1st and for Christmas from December 21st until January 5, 2009** ______________________________________________________________________________________
