Before the Legends of Man is a solo exhibition by sculptural and electronic artist Luis Pinto. "My work depicts emotion through an apathetic eye, while graying the already vague line drawn between the character and the landscape inside an omnipresent universe," Pinto notes in a statement about his work. "Ethereal moments, accepted within philosophies, native histories, and societal cultures, provide the foundation for the artworks; which give an opportunity to further consider the human condition in relation to technology, ritual, and industry. Using memory informs my relationship to South America, and gives way for the use of sacred symbols, childhood memorabilia, and spirituality within the work." The show opens 6-8 p.m. June 7 and runs through Aug. 2.

AABBCCDV is billed as a project by Erik Smith, an American-born, Berlin-based artist who is a visiting resident at LegalArt. His exhibition features work that focuses on "urban sites and the landscape ... In a project realized last fall in Berlin, where he has lived and worked since 2003, Smith slowly excavated a section of the former 'dead zone”' of the Berlin Wall, digging with a shovel, and unearthed a large spiral staircase which served as a kind of found/revealed public sculpture." Smith brings this strategy to Miami where he'll focus on transitional or disused sites and the processes of remaking them.
The exhibition takes place in the new temporary home of Dimensions Variable as their previous home, which contained studios and exhibition space, will soon be demolished to accommodate new development, a process gallery officials say is "as much about speculative growth and renewal as it is negation and fragmentation." The show will run in the gallery's new temporary space through June 16, and a discussion between Smith, Adler Guerrier and Legal Art director Christopher Cook will start at 7 p.m. June 7.
