R.M. Fischer:  Lampworks September 7 – October 14, 2017 Opening Reception:  Thursday, September 7th ,  7–9PM Nina Johnson  is pleased to present  Lampworks , a solo exhibition by New York-based artist  R.M. Fischer , opening next  Thursday, September 7th . In 1999, R.M. Fischer was developing what could have been his most complex public art work, a new flight tower for the Miami International Airport, then  September 11th  happened. It seems fitting to bring Fischer back to Miami amid our current political moment, also fitting to know that both then and now Fischer’s work was functioning as a measure of guidance.

The works will remain on view through  Tuesday, October 31 .  In the upstairs gallery, Oldham’s small-scale embroidered works draw viewers into a history of traditional and decorative arts before jarring them with them with their cannily subversive subject matter, from fetishism to hip hop to  Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Hansen draws unexpected parallels between generations of artists, musicians, cultural icons, gently balancing satire and social commentary.  The downstairs g

In 2002, Soren first began photographing a group of minor league draft picks for the Oakland A’s—young men coming into the major league farm system straight from high school or college. Since then, she has followed the players through their baseball lives, an alternate reality of long bus rides, on-field injuries, friendships and marriages entered and exited, constant motion, and very hard work, often for very little return. Some of the subjects, like Nick Swisher and Joe Blanton, have gone on to become well-known, respected players at the highest level of the game. Some left ba
