Opening Reception with the Artist: Saturday January 14, 11:30am-12:30pm
For Carmelo Blandino, art exists as a conduit to confront humanity’s uncertainty.
Incapsulating the beauty of nature and historical painting in the context of experimental
contemporary street styles, the artist, Carmelo Blandino examines universal truths
experienced through his personal journey of healing and “rebirth” through decades
of his painting practice.
The paintings in this empowering exhibition range from large-scale explorations of
abstracted florals and notions of Nature’s heroism, to playfully concealed iconography
in an attempt to strengthen and empower the motivation away from the mundane of the
everyday, in an effort to thwart the dark fringe of human uncertainty.
Blandino is a creative superpower, his weapon a brush… through his paintings, a metaphor
of the joys of life are accessed, catapulting the viewer beyond the limitations of
constructed reality into an exciting and invigorating world where good prevails!

over the Arts Complex courtyard, the overhead installation results in a visual mix
of imagery cut from billboards and banners, colors and textures from lawn webbing
and pennants, all woven together producing a cacophony of visual noise. As a functioning
canopy, Everything is Nothing protects visitors from the sun under its vibrating shadow.
AMLgMATD, a Miami-based collaborative studio established by Laz Ojalde and Natalie Zlamalova
in 2014, experiments in works of art, design objects and environmental installations
that reflect their love of unusual and overlooked materials. AMLgMATD’s modus operandi consists of incorporating historical and geographical research into
their visual language, playing with the sense of nostalgia, the application of familiar
materials onto new forms and unexplored materials into familiar settings while redefining
their surroundings. AMLgMATD’s works are collected by private and corporate clients in Miami, New York, and Los
Angeles, and their WEBSTR stools are available throughout the US in both boutique
and museum stores.

A stubborn doctor wants to save lives by bringing attention to a public health crisis,
but his efforts are stymied by politicians and citizens concerned with economic repercussions.
Branded an “enemy of the people” by those seeking to silence him, he stands to lose
everything dear to him – his job, his reputation, his family, and their future well-being
– if he continues to speak out.

Light reception to follow in the Arts Complex Lobby
At the heart of the Material Memories project is the question of what role photography
plays in remembering history, both personal and public. What are the moments of our
collective history that we keep, and which parts do we forget? What role do institutional
archives play in the construction of collective memory? A single black and white photograph,
found at the Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, provoked a discovery into post WWII
history of socialist Yugoslavia. With a series of photographs and photographic installations
I present a psychological portrait of the era of the cold war, burdened with photographic
representations of socialist propaganda. I turn my camera to the archives and years
of accumulation of historical materials. Material Memories is dependent on the unfolding
of memory and history, and their inevitable opposition. Like the image itself, the
history appears fragile and slightly distorted. Photographs remind us that memory
is a constructed phenomenon.

A comedy with tragic consequences. A tragedy with hilarious antics. An actor caught
