Marya Kazoun’s, Time After Self Portrait, an installation of the artist’s “self-portraits”-- stuffed black “creatures” positioned throughout the Marquis Piazza will come alive with a dazzling performance on Friday, December 4th at 12noon, in front of Miami’s new landmark residential condominium Marquis, 1100 Biscayne Boulevard.
 
Another performance, Layered Defenses, is scheduled at 5:00 pm on the same day at ART ASIA Miami for Truly Truthful exhibition curated by Leeza Ahmady at SOHO Studios 2136 NW 1st Avenue. (Cocktail reception hosted by SAAGA Vodka 4pm-6pm)
 
Working primarily in installation and performance, Kazoun creates worlds that parallel the one in which we live – exploring micro versus macro, beauty versus ugliness. Her artistic approach is predominantly feminine, as seen in her dexterity with materials and mastery of ancestral techniques like sewing and weaving.
 

This project made possible by: Africa Israel USA, Art Assets, and ART ASIA.
 
Co-curated by Ombretta Agro’ Andruff and Leeza Ahmady
