Artformz Alternative announces the opening of its 1st Artist Partner’s Trio Show. Located in the center of the Wynwood Art District, Artformz is an artist-run space, whose mission is to contribute to the overall vitality of art in our community by offering a space for the exhibition of works that are not market or trend driven. The three artists featured for the October show each relate stories, or commentaries, on the human condition. Fabian De La Flor addresses the personal, urban experience with his signature quirky figures in cityscapes. Donna Haynes brings works from her continuing series of drawn and constructed installations that document the personal and emotional journeys of friends and family. Rosario Rivera-Bond, exhibiting work from a new series, features a large-format painting dealing with the comic and the satirical of female issues of beauty, consumerism and aging.

Artformz is also very pleased to present, in collaboration with Carol Jazzar - Contemporary Art, a special project by Homo Sapiens Live Art. This Miami performance group, recently formed by David Rohn and Danilo de la Torre, will perform their piece titled “Mr and Mrs Candidate”; a continuous performance, based on the way presidential (and other) candidates running for public office in the US express themselves. The artists felt that the body language, gestures and expressions of political candidates were an interesting starting point for examining the spectacle of election performance during this and past election seasons. The performance will take place on the sidewalk in front of Artformz Gallery.

In addition, David Rohn will exhibit a series of photographs related to the performance in the Gallery Project Room.

Opening Reception: October 11th, 2008, 7:00pm - 10:00pm

Performances: 7:30pm - 8:30pm & 9:00pm - 10:00pm
