Where Karen Grimson Finds Inspiration
In, or around, bodies of water: the Everglades, the beaches, and along the Miami River are sites of huge inspiration for me. Miami’s proximity to swamps and mangrove forests is a guarantee of sanity.
The Best Off-the-Beaten-Path Place to See Art
We recently started a series of pop-up exhibitions on 40th Street, between NE 1st Ave and North Miami Avenue. A bit on the fringes of the Design District, the activities there retain an experimental quality that is refreshing and allows for improvisation. This year alone, the block has been transformed by the presence of great artists such as Peter Pérez, Nereida Garcia Ferraz, and Noah Crib, and myriad activations, from group exhibitions and film screenings to auction highlights from Christie’s.
