Reclaiming Miami, Lucinda Linderman's solo exhibition of sculptures she created from trash, mostly industrial waste, collected around Miami. Her materials included a 20-foot piece of construction fencing, hangers, shrink wrap and dry cleaning bags collected from Deering Estate, where Linderman is a resident artist.
The exhibition runs April 7 through April 29, and will include an artist reception from 7-9 p.m. April 12 and a performance in which Linderman will wear a giant skirt made from blue and clear plastic bags, a life preserver ring, goggles and a swim cap and swim around the space (9 p.m. April 27). Not that she'll be dressed in that costume for her opening. For that, she'll be wearing a black dress made from a garbage bag. Check out Arterpillar's slide show of the exhibition or read her story on the show in Sun-Sentinel's Sunday Lifestyle section.

When You're a Boy, Luis Lazo's first solo exhibition in the gallery, illustrates the transformation from boy to man via photography, video and incorporated photographs of nature "to create a poetic juxtaposition and visual metaphor." The images, according to a press release from the gallery, "evoke the introspective nature of these fleeting moments and the emotional angst that accompanies the fragility of this phase in a boy’s life." The show will open with an artists reception 6 p.m. April 12. The gallery will also have extended hours (2-9 p.m.) April 14 during Second Saturday Art Walk. The exhibition will remain on exhibit through June 1.
