Evelyne Huet’s Solo Exhibition DEAR HUMANS

DEAR HUMANS, a new solo exhibition by French artist Evelyne Huet will be on view at the Atlantic Gallery in New York from March 12-30, 2019. There will be an opening reception on March 14, 2019, 6-8pm.
The 21 digital paintings in DEAR HUMANS explore the complexity of human emotions, imagining both their genesis and their evolution. Painting on a screen using her fingertips, Huet simplifies the lines and shapes of bodies, often just the face, to the extreme, searching to discover feelings such as happiness, fear, and pain, as well as more universal expressions of religions, myths, and history. Through layers of color, she builds complex images that reflect the multitude of experiences which encompass the universal human condition.
Huet’s training as a mathematician informs her creative practice. “I chose to study this discipline for its infinitely dreamlike dimension,” she explains. Her expertise emerges in her study of the human form, which she reduces to its most basic elements. This is mirrored in the refined palette, which is simplified to minimal colors so as to allow her to focus on the expression of emotion.
Huet’s approach is similar to automatic drawing: her subjects seem to appear of their own accord. The figures that emerge are often those who are familiar in our collective history, such as the Holy Family, especially Mary and Jesus of Nazareth. The raw outlines of faces and figures are also reminiscent of primitive art, recalling Huet’s studies in the field of anthropology.
The digital images are printed in Brussels with a Diasec® finish, in limited editions of three, signed and numbered.

Miami, FL—The annual Congress for IKT, the International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art, will be held in Miami April 11-14, 2019, marking the first occasion in its 45-year history that the event will be hosted in the United States. A Post-Congress will take place in Havana, Cuba April 15-18. Approximately 100-150 international curators and art professionals are expected to participate along with local curators, art professionals, and artists and local residents.
The goal of IKT Miami is to highlight the diversity and vitality of the contemporary art scene in Miami focusing on resiliency and sustainability through the lens of cultural production in South Florida, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
Organized by Ombretta Agró Andruff, a Miami Beach-based curator and IKT Board Member, and a team of eleven other Miami-based curators, the four-day event will kick-off with an opening reception at The Wolfsonian-FIU on Thursday, April 11. The subsequent three days will involve visits to seventeen other Miami-Dade arts institutions and nineteen individual events, five of which will be open to the public which will widen the reach of the Congress.
The highlight of the Congress is the Symposium on Sunday, April 14, which will be held at the Perez Art Museum Miami and open to the public. The keynote address will be given by the internationally recognized art historian and critic, T.J. Demos, whose current work explores how artists and activists have negotiated crises associated with globalization, including climate change, political sovereignty, and colonial history. Additional presentations will be made by several South Florida-based artists, cultural producers and academics investigating these issues.
Fresh Art International will host two podcast events, at the Wolfsonian-FIU on April 11 and the Riviera Hotel on April 12, which are also open to the public, as well as recording sessions, and web streaming radio programs. Hosted by curator Cathy Byrd, the events will feature international curators discussing their current projects as well as participants from the Symposium and Five-Minute Rounds Artist Presentation.
Other public events include 5-Minute Rounds Artist Presentations at the Rubell Family Collection (Saturday, April 13); a closing reception at ArtCenter/South (Sunday, April 14) and WALLCAST, featuring work by Bill Fontana commissioned by Miami Beach Art in Public Places (Sunday, April 14).
From April 15-18, IKT will host a Post-Congress in Havana. The IKT Miami Committee has worked closely with local art professionals to organize the program, including visits to artists’ studio, institutions such as the Casa de las Americas, Museo de Bellas Artes, and Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam as well as the 13thHavana Biennial, which takes place April 12-May 19, 2019.
The lead sponser for the IKT Miami Congress is John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, with support from the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority, Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, Perez Art Museum Miami, Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, and ArtCenter/South Florida. Institutional partners include The Wolfsonian - FIU, The Bass Museum of Art, Rubell Family Collection, The de la Cruz Collection, and Piero Atchugarry Gallery.
