Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Museum of Art + Design (MOA+D) will present an exhibition and new body of work titled Arrhythmic Suite by Venezuelan-born, Miami-based artist, Odalis Valdivieso. The exhibition comprises paintings and photographs made from 2014 to the present. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication of an artist’s book containing images and an essay of writer Federica Bueti and designer Kristin Metho.
Arrhythmic Suite unites four bodies of work: fifty inks on paper, six watercolors, six photocopies, and two c-prints. It was conceived by Odalis Valdivieso’s month-long residency in Berlin, Germany in the summer of 2014 establishing a dialog between a sense of place and her own practice, with place serving as a catalyst for the formation of investigation. Each work possesses a dubious quality, never committing to a singular process. Her photographic works are created entirely outdoors leaving nothing but a grayscale in place.
Odalis Valdivieso was born in Caracas, Venezuela. She is the recipient of the 2004 and 2014 South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship as well as various Miami-Dade Community Grants, has been featured in such exhibitions as The Sinking Parenthesis, Central Fine, Miami; This is not a Museum, Centro Cultural Español, Miami; Paper Folding, Alejandra von Hartz Gallery and Dimensions Variable, Miami; Grid’s World, Locusts Projects, Miami; Object Implied, Emerson Dorsch, Miami; Play-forms, Woodland Gallery, Chatham University, Pittsburgh; New Work Miami 2010 and 2013, Miami Art Museum; 365 Lives, Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art; Practices Remain, Regina Rex, New York; among others.
