Juxtapoz Clubhouse Recap

Last week during Art Basel,  Juxtapoz Magazine opened the Juxtapoz Clubhouse, an immersive artist retreat and exhibition space in Miami’s Wynwood District.  Located at Mana Wynwood and with the help of Mana Urban Arts Project, the Clubhouse included our group exhibition A Conversation Between Friends (details below), as well as installations by Swoon and Dennis McNett, site-specific work by Olek, Alex Yanes and Low Bros, a book and print shop operated by 1xRUN, and many other interactive components.  With the goal of bringing longtime friends and collaborators together under one roof, this project celebrated the wide-ranging world of contemporary art and showcased its different genres.  The Juxtapoz Clubhouse also hosted nightly events, all of which were free and open to the public, culminating in Swoon’s birthday celebration with the beats of DJ Diabetic aka Shepard Fairey.

A Conversation Between Friends expanded upon the Clubhouse theme of togetherness by bringing together a large group of artists that transcend genres. Despite their differing aesthetics and preferred mediums, this close knit community speaks the same cutting edge visual language through paintings, drawings, installations and mixed-media work.  Exhibiting artists include Adam Wallacavage, Alex Gross, Andrew Hem, Andy Kehoe, Ben Tolman, Brett Amory, Dan Witz, Dennis McNett, Dylan Egon, Eloy Morales, Erik Jones, Gary Taxali, Glenn Barr, Handiedan, Haroshi, Hush, Ian Francis, James Bullough, Jamie Adams, Jeremy Geddes, Joel Rea, Josh Agle (Shag), Juan Francisco Casas, Ludo, Martin Wittfooth, Masakatsu Sashie, Rostarr, Shepard Fairey, Tara McPherson and Tristan Eaton.
