This year, Miami
Art Museum is pleased to present New Work Miami 2013, the second
iteration of the highly successful New Work Miami 2010. Like the
inaugural edition, this exhibition is conceived as a salute to Miami's
community of artists. It will include a number of newly commissioned
projects and special programs. Miami Art Museum will celebrate the
opening of New Work Miami 2013 during Party on the Plaza, the museum's
signature Art Basel Miami Beach event. Since this will be the museum's
last exhibition in its current building at 101 West Flagler, it will
symbolically initiate the final countdown to MAM's momentous reopening
in the fall of 2013 at the new, Herzog & de Meuron-designed facility
that is currently under construction in Museum Park. New Work Miami
2013 is organized by Miami Art Museum and co-curated by MAM Associate
Curators René Morales and Diana Nawi. Support is provided by Nedra and
Mark Oren.

On view at MAM from Friday, June 29 to Sunday, August 26,
2012, Kimsooja's A Needle Woman consists of an eight-channel video installation
set in the densely populated centers of Cairo, Delhi, Lagos, London, Mexico
City, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo. In each projection, a lone figure stands
utterly motionless with her back to the camera, immersed amid a torrent of
pedestrians. With this simple gesture, the artist exemplifies the perennial
struggle to preserve a place for the individual within contemporary society,
while poetically embodying the experience of being engulfed within a foreign
culture. In the process, she provides a vivid sense of globalization's impact
on cities throughout the world. The presentation also includes two closely
related works by Kimsooja: In A Needle Woman - Kitakyushu, the artist lies
prostrate atop a rocky peak as clouds swirl hypnotically above her, while in A
Laundry Woman - Yamuna River, she stands at the banks of a sacred waterway in
India, suspended amid an ethereal void created by the sky's reflection on the
river surface. The pair offers a vision of timeless serenity as a counterpoint
to the frenetic energy of the 21st-century global city. Kimsooja: A Needle
Woman is organized by Miami Art Museum and curated by MAM Associate Curator
