Examiner.com paid a visit this Saturday to various events throughout Miami, one of them, The Outsiders Exhibition which was taking place at the Ironside Warehouse by the train tracks at the Little River Industrial District of Miami.
Participating artists for a two-week show (January 7th- January 14, 2012) are George Sanchez-Calderon, Johnny Robles, Eric Torriente, Edward Crowell II, Diane Radler, Johnny Laderer, Nicole Soden, Rollin Stirman, Kristy Leibowitz, David Marsh and David 'Upnup' Cabrera.
Curated by a young and emergent New York-based artist Kiki Valdes, who was also showcasing several pieces at the show, The Outsiders had a good turnout which is evidence that our city claims for more alternative spaces outside the art gallery circuits.
"I gathered a group of friends for a show that would present something alternative in Miami and reach a wider audience; any city would always want more curated-collaborative shows to bring more options for art lovers," said Kiki Valdes.
"People sometimes get too conservative for what they think is a proper show, there is a need for an open mind and this event has surpassed expectations of what can be done in a warehouse space in Miami and from a young artist perspective, I am very pleased," added Valdes.
Valdes found the space through a relationship he has with the owners of Miami Event Space at the Ironside Warehouse, a multi-purpose campus of spaces rented to artists, industries, office production with high-end service stations located on the east side of the railroad tracks on NE 76 Street on the Little River Industrial District.
