There is something unavoidably charming and analog about Jen Stark’s work. The tactile, precise-yet-handmade quality of her paper sculptures and animations is something that feels somehow influenced, in part, by her visual generation.
It is hard to find the right words sometimes, isn’t it? There have been about a thousand instances in which I knew exactly what I was feeling, exactly what was driving me, yet my brain was incapable at that specific moment of producing a phrase that would accurately describe the sensation.
Like a one-man band, Teo Castellanos is a cacophony of characters and vernaculars all rolled into one. Widely recognized for NE 2nd Ave, a performance that incurred many accolades in it’s global jaunts including the prestigious Fringe First Award in the Edinburgh Festival, Castellanos draws from the diverse demographical complexion of Miami to create his characters. Whimsical, brash, sociological, and tragic all at once this sort of schizophrenic performance enlivened a cross-section of humanity that, although unique in many ways to Miami, not exclusive.
