BOOTH C52

At Untitled Art Miami Beach, Emerson Dorsch Gallery presents Travel, Translation, Transmission, Transition, with works by Jen Clay, Elisabeth Condon, Moira Holohan, Eleen Lin and Judd Schiffman. The fair opens to the public on Wednesday, December 4 and runs through Sunday, December 8, 2024 and is located on Miami Beach at 12th Street and Ocean Drive. Find Emerson Dorsch’s booth at C52.

This year, as part of Untitled Art’s mission to support the wider art ecosystem, the artistic director and curatorial team set a theme for the fair: East Meets West.

With humor and punches of bold colors, Emerson Dorsch’s booth leans into how anxieties can inform inquiry, discovery, and the vital formation of new narratives.

Featuring works in textiles, painting and ceramic sculpture, Emerson Dorsch’s booth presentation considers how artists from various backgrounds incorporate cross-cultural references. Eleen Lin’s paintings illustrate multi-cultural interpretations of the most storied American nineteenth century novel and taps into its ocean-sized subculture. Judd Schiffman builds a fantastical world with ceramic sculptures of characters in a natural-ish milieu. He draws from Ancient Eastern meditative belief systems, his Jewish background, Afrofuturist American science fiction, and New Age-inflected anthropology. Jen Clay’s quilted technicolor wall hangings take the form of knotted talon-shaped human-like hands in the style of an influential Japanese horror manga artist, one among many references to the mental health perils in our time. In Elisabeth Condon’s canvases, illustrations of pre-Columbian relics emerge from splashes of magenta, like urgent revelations. Moira Holohan’s weavings make an analogy between video keying, ghosts and paint stains reminiscent of mid century American abstraction colorists, bridging ideas of legacy with fears of mortality.
