technique, Duncan captures the childʼs fully present and intuitive act

calculated process. Surrendering control, the artist allows the machine
to execute unpracticed marks onto the canvas, resulting in an array of
sprayed strokes on a gesso white field." The exhibition will run through April 28. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Gallery Diet
174 N.W. 23rd St., Miami, 305-571-2288, Gallerydiet.com
Out of Place, Christy Gast's exhibition if burlap
sculptures, is billed as the artist's exploration of "the collision that
occurs when two notions regarding studio practice meet." Gast is
referring to
A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay
that references a personal space in which to focus without distraction,
and The Function of the Studio, a 1971 essay Daniel Buren wrote about
releasing artists from their confines. Gast, who typically explores
public land and outdoor sites in her exhibitions, created the burlap
sculptures in her studio, but based them on assemblages constructed from
materials she gathered at Lake Okeechobee and other outdoor sites. Her
show runs through May 12. Check out
Arterpillar's story on Gast in the Sun-Sentinel.

iPhoneography: Updated Visual Dialogs, a show designed to
"explore the social phenomenon of iPhoneography as a personal tool
globally used to generate visual content, be shared and therefore,
communicate" will feature images taken and edited on iPhones.
As Lunchbox acknowledges in its press release about the show, a
collaboration with iPhoneographer Jaime Ferreyros, increasingly more
people are creatively taking and editing photos via iPhone and
considering the images as a legit art form. "Regardless if it can be
accepted as an outlet for the artist or more of a user-oriented medium,
mobile photography has become one of the most democratic activities of
image-taking," the gallery notes. Its upcoming exhibition is billed as
a"n integral, heterogeneous and diverse expression of that avalanche of
pixels that are being registered and shared in modern times," with each
image revealing something about the iPhoneographer's vision, and life.
The exhibition, according to the gallery, is inspired by something
photographer Chase Jarvis once said: "The Best Camera is the One That's
With You." The exhibition has been extended through May 5. Regular
gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
