Welcome to Miami: URBAN NATION presents four artists at this year’s “Juxtapoz Clubhouse”

URBAN NATION is pleased to be an official partner of the project “Juxtapoz Clubhouse“ in Miami this year. The annual get-together of the street art, graffiti art and urban-contemporary art scenes is held under the auspices of the Californian art and culture magazine Juxtapoz, in cooperation with Adidas Skateboarding. URBAN NATION is taking the spirit of Berlin to Miami with the four artists Mimi S, Mateus Bailon, INSANE 51 and Nuno Viegas. From 7 to 10 December 2017, their unique group exhibition will be open to all in the Historic Walgreens Building in downtown Miami, Florida.

The renowned arts and culture magazine Juxtapoz has long been one of URBAN NATION’s important cooperation partners. Along with the creative executive director of URBAN NATION, Yasha Young, Juxtapoz is organizing another spectacular urban contemporary art happening: this year’s “Juxtapoz Clubhouse” is being held in an old three-story department store in downtown Miami in early December. The show features works by numerous artists, from installations to murals. The group exhibition is open from 7 to 10 December from 10 am to 8 pm.

“It is a special honor for URBAN NATION to attend the Juxtapoz Clubhouse´ in Miami as an official partner. In a very short space of time, the event has become one of the world’s most important urban art gatherings,” says Yasha Young, who is personally on hand in Miami to support the four artists. “As an international institution with its roots in Berlin our network encompasses the whole world. We are really looking forward to the coming days.”

URBAN NATION presents four artists at the “Juxtapoz Clubhouse”

Insane51
The street artist from Athens, known for his photorealist works, has specialized in “overlay murals” in recent years. This technique involves two murals painted on top of each other. 3D glasses bring the resulting work to life.

Mateus Bailon
The Brazilian’s work addresses the relationship between nature and humankind, to which he takes a critical and increasingly dramatic approach. His pictorial worlds transport his own phantasmagorical universes into the urban space.

Mimi S
The Berlin-based Mimi S has been painting since she was a child. She studied animation and worked as an illustrator. In the year 2000, Mimi S began coloring illustrations by digital means: First, she creates drawings, to which she then adds colors using a complex digital process. Her works offer sarcastic comment on female clichés.

Nuno Viegas
Nuno Viegas was born in the Portuguese city of Faro. His artistic career began with graffiti painting. He studied the visual arts at the Universidade do Algarve, Faro. Hip-hop subculture has always been at the center of his artistic work and his most important source of inspiration.
