Mohamed Bourouissa Heads to Blum & Poe
Blum & Poe gallery, of Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo, now represents Mohamed Bourouissa in collaboration with Paris and London’s Galerie Kamel Mennour. Blum & Poe presented work by Bourouissa at Art Basel in Switzerland earlier this month, and he will receive a solo exhibition at the gallery’s Los Angeles space this fall. A solo show by the Paris-based artist, whose work takes the form of sculptures, drawings, photography, and films, will open in France as part of the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival in July.
Miami Artists Go National Through New Residency Program
The Miami-based nonprofit Oolite Arts (formerly ArtCenter/South Florida) has created a new initiative to send Miami artists to four residency programs across the country. Under the name “Home and Away,” the program will send grantees to Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, Colorado; the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida; the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s space in Captiva, Florida; and Yadoo’s 400-acre home in Saratoga Springs, New York. Each group will be selected from a pool of applicants by different juries of curators. “Residencies can be a defining moment in an artist’s career, offering them the time and space to experiment,” Oolite CEO Dennis Scholl said in a statement. “We hope our artists will return to South Florida with new ideas and relationships that will further enrich their own work, and Miami’s cultural community.”
