Intimate mapping by Emily Fayet

Alice Raymond http://artinfacts.net/?p=158 December 9, 2014 admin

We often talk about the globalization of art and how it has been changing museum, curatorial and art historical practices over the course of the last 25 years. The development of a worldwide art market and the pluralization of art centers across the world (and not only within the borders of the West) gave birth to an unprecedented globalized network, strengthened by the rise of new technologies like the Internet and the growth of rapid transportation. In this new setup, curators and artists are somehow forced to become nomads, traveling from one place to another, seeking for new opportunities.

Sarah Ann, acrylic on canvas, 5×5″, 2014

French-born artist Alice Raymond shares her time between France, Miami and San Francisco where she lives. As a result of her multiple travels, she became interested in maps and how to represent her daily confrontation with other languages. Two years ago, when she arrived in San Francisco, she created a codified language, turning a word into a specific shape. According to her, these abstract and geometrical shapes define a new territory, like an intimate map connecting aesthetics and semantics.

Raymond collects words and translates them into geometrical drawings in a sketchbook she calls her “encyclopedia”. This method allows her to represent the same word but spelled in various languages, thus taking different shapes. When a shape coincides with the meaning of the chosen word, she paints it on an un-stretched leakproof canvas – a non-noble textile usually employed for house work – that can be rolled or folded like a map. The final visual result evokes the vocabulary of abstract landscape, often depicting a horizon line as a reference point. But more than landscapes, these linguistic paintings represent an attempt to frame the intricacies of translation and to map new personal territories.

Alice Raymond was born in Paris and works in San Francisco and Bordeaux. Her work has been exhibited in several solo shows in Bordeaux and Miami. One of her piece is currently on view at the Meetinghouse, an Art Basel Miami event, until December 17. To know more about Alice Raymond, visit http://aliceraymond.com.

The University Galleries in Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters presents Common Ground: Artists in the Everglades at the Schmidt Center Gallery, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. The exhibition will open on Friday, Sept. 19 at 6:30pm and will be on view through Wednesday, Nov. 5. All events are free and open to the public

Harumi Abe Karen Glaser Dana Levy Gustavo Matamoros Adam Nadel Alice Raymond Rebecca Reeve Susan Silas “Common Ground” presents selected artists from Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE), a unique program that provides an extraordinary opportunity for artists to reside within the Everglades National Park. Organized by Donna Marxer, this unique program was started in 2001 after U.S. Congress passed the $8 billion Everglades Restoration Plan. The program brings professional artists to reside for one month within the park to create original works from their experience of living in our nation’s most environmentally endangered eco-‐system. Jill Lavetsky and Sybille Welter, co-‐curators of “Common Ground” have selected a group of eight artists who have participated in AIRIE in the past few years.

The exhibition aims to provide an overview of the dynamic works that have been produced by a variety of artists from this distinctive residency. Miami-based sound artist Gustavo Matamoros presents “Bats & Insects” a sound-scape in the Schmidt Center Public Space in collaboration with Freddy Jouwayed, a Miami-based artist who designed the installation layout. The hidden acoustical signature of the architectural space articulates the work and provides passerby with the sounds of the natural world within the context of a man-made space …/…Alice Raymond (California) plays with the conceptual meaning of Territory, Property and Terrain within maps, drawn and painted, and specifically to the borders that make-up the Everglades.…/…

Meetinghouse collective brings together Miami artists, their work BY RICARDO MOR [email protected] 11/25/2014 6:57 PM Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/visual-arts/article4145472.html#storylink=cpy

This textile work by Alice Raymond hangs over an exposed brick wall in the Huntington Building’s penthouse for the Meetinghouse exhibition. Ricardo Mor For the Miami Herald

From inside a penthouse high above downtown Miami, a group of local artists has done a remarkable feat: With just several weeks of planning, they have banded together to create a collective called Meetinghouse, which is making its debut with a group exhibition that hopes to connect the divide between art, architecture and design.

Meetinghouse is just one of a number of local, community-minded artistic initiatives that utilize artists’ innate resourcefulness and ingenuity to create programming that engages art lovers without the assistance of grants or other existing arts institutions. But what separates Meetinghouse from other artist-led initiatives in the community is its interdisciplinary approach that those involved have branded with a manifesto and an economic model that’s surprisingly collectivist.

AIRIE Artist Talk - Alice Raymond http://dimensionsvariable.net/2013/04/16/airie-artist-tal... A Collaboration with AIRIE Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 7 pm

Wildnessing, Alice Raymond, 2013

For the past few weeks AIRIE Fellow Alice Raymond has been working on an experimental mapping project, experiencing visitors’ perspectives on the Everglades National Park. In this artist talk she’ll share reflections on this project and her time at AIRIE.

Alice has been busy meeting rangers, scientists, and friends exploring the park with them to get their perspective. With a focus on human actions made through the park, she aims to get a global or outside sense of the use of the park, using her own view to put in balance others’ perspectives. Alice is interested in questioning the sense of wildness and landscape, looking at its evolution through decades and projects, pointing the permanent changes. She uses the vocabulary of maps as an example of the distortion between reality, perception and representation.

Artists In Residence In Everglades (AIRIE) Announces 2013 AIRIE Fellows MEDIA CONTACT [email protected] MIAMI, FL January 7, 2013 – Now in it’s thirteenth year, Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE), proudly announces the 2013 AIRIE Fellows. This year AIRIE has selected a diverse group of local and national artists across several disciplines, including, painters, sculptors and installation artists, photographers, writers, performance artists and a composer. South Florida is home to the only subtropical wilderness area in the country, AIRIE is the only program bringing artists to the Everglades. AIRIE’s purpose is to inform, connect, and support artists, writers and musicians who wish to be inspired by the Everglades and then become ambassadors for the Park and its resources. AIRIE partners with Everglades National Park staff to offer month-long artist residencies in the Park’s subtropical wilderness. At least twelve AIRIE Fellows per year live and create new work in the Park, and in return lead interactive activities with visitors and donate artwork to the Park. 2013 AIRIE Fellows include South Florida-based artists Naomi Fisher, Alice Raymond, Harumi Abe, dancer and performance artist Ana Mendez, and composer Gustavo Matamoros, New York-based artists Bryan McGovern Wilson, Susan Silas, Mathias Kessler, as well as Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen Nguyen of Striped Canary, writers Wendy Call, Beth Raymer, and Bill Maxwell, and painter Jane Abrams from New Mexico. Read more about each of the AIRIE 2013 Fellows. With generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Arts Challenge Grant, AIRIE is now focused on deepening its mission by connecting Fellows with the South Florida cultural community to bring attention to this unique and endangered part of our national heritage. Building on the success of the 2011 partnership with O, Miami poetry festival (an installation of banners with poetry by AIRIE Fellows throughout the Park and readings in the Park and in Miami), AIRIE will again partner with O, Miami in addition to new collaborations with other cultural organizations. AIRIE’s expanded programming will feature a year-round calendar of events both in the Everglades and outside the Park, including readings, performances, workshops and lectures. Through these outreach events, Fellows will use their art forms to engage the public, showcasing the Everglades as beautiful, ecologically important, and worth protecting. The 2013 Fellows join nearly 100 AIRIE alumni who have produced an outstanding body of Everglades-related work, and inspired visitors and Park staff alike. AIRIE Fellows have the unique opportunity to get to know the ecology of the Everglades by being immersed in it, and then share their perspective through creative public programs. “In a park known for its spectacular and diverse wildlife, the art and voices of AIRIE artists reveal other unique, and often missed, dimensions of this special place,” remarks Park Superintendent Dan Kimball. Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) is a not-for-profit organization generously supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Puffin Foundation, and with the support of Everglades National Park.

La proposition d’Alice Raymond à la chapelle : Bazar avec... Le regard de Justine Adenis sur cette exposition, film : 3min24s

Février 2013 - Chapelle saint-Loup, Saint-Loubès

…/… Alice Raymond est diplômée en arts plastiques à Bordeaux et en science du langage. Sa pratique polymorphe est alternative, avec la production individuelle d’oeuvres de peinture, dessin, photographie et la réalisation de projets basés sur la participation, produisant des ensembles apparentés à une oeuvre collective. De nature itinérante, son travail se construit avec le lieu et la situation dans lesquels elle se trouve. Conditions, environnement et relations humaines sont ainsi les ingrédients de ce travail, clairement axé sur des préoccupations sociales. Cette exposition Jean-Louis Letu et Alice Raymond aiment les souvenirs s’est construite sur la rencontre de ces deux artistes. …/… Alice assemble au centre un autre lieu, un dedans dedans. Elle emménage un passage entre ses souvenirs et ceux des autres, elle investit la rencontre entre l’intime et le commun avec sa proposition Bazar avec ... L’artiste propose une construction évolutive, à la fois tableau, sculpture, architecture et installation réalisée à partir de matériaux divers et à laquelle vous pouvez tous participer ! “ L’individu et le collectif, le don et l’abandon, la construction et l’occupation sont des questions soulevées dans ce Bazar proposé à la chapelle Saint-Loup. Dans une tentative de délimitation d’un territoire, les éléments installés se perdent entre un statut d’oeuvre exposée et celui d’objet. L’habitat précaire abrite une sorte d’arrêt sur le temps, où tout prend valeur de souvenir. “ Les visiteurs peuvent participer en déposant dans le Bazar des éléments similaires à ceux déjà proposés (couvertures, tissus de leur grenier, dessins), mêlant leurs souvenirs à ceux de l’artiste et laissant à chacun la possibilité mentale de se les approprier tous. Le titre du projet s’allongera avec le nombre des participants : Bazar avec... Les objets sont récupérés par leur propriétaire après l’exposition, le dimanche 10 février de 16h à 18h. Sinon, aux heures d'ouverture des ateliers du prieuré,le mardi, mercredi et jeudi d'après.

ALICE RAYMOND par Claire Paries

Les souvenirs ont l’habitude de se nicher au fond de nos mémoires. Quand ils sont objets, c’est dans les greniers des maisons de famille qu’ils s’entassent, s’oublient, se perdent pour mieux être retrouvés par les générations qui suivront. Investis alors du rôle de témoins d’un passé révolu, ils peuvent à leur corps défendant se charger de nostalgie.

Alice Raymond qui vit au jour le jour et affectionne particulièrement les déplacements, voyages, changements de situation, est aussi attachée à ce qui permet l’ancrage des corps que ce soit momentanément ou plus durablement : cahutes, kiosques, cabanes, mobil-homes dont elle collectionne les photographies, jusqu’à la maison familiale qui autorise le retour au pays. L’éloignement, l’absence, peuvent charger les objets familiers d’une sensation d’étrangeté au moment des retrouvailles. Vague écho de ce qu’ils ont été, ils sont l’occasion de surprises, de véritables découvertes. Ce qui est devenu souvenir peut alors s’imposer comme une actualité qui permet de construire la forme du présent : l’invention d’un lieu à l’image de ce qui en soi résonne de ces temps conjugués.

La structure d’une tente familiale sert de base. Une forme liée au nomadisme, qui se réinvente de l’emploi de tissus, couvertures, aux motifs à rayures ou fleuris d’une époque révolue, soigneusement répartis pour à la fois délimiter, couvrir, clore et ménager des ouvertures pour la circulation des uns et des autres. Des étagères de bois, des casiers métalliques, de petits meubles qui accompagnaient l’enfance de l’artiste composent l’espace intérieur. Ils accueillent, enferment des piles de draps et d’étoffes préservées aussi par sa famille. Ils sont soigneusement pliés pour s’amalgamer à la forme qui les contient. Et ils semblent proposer une remontée du temps de la base au sommet : draps de lins des générations lointaines, tissus qui ont accompagné les suivantes, puis d’autres qui sont marqués des motifs de l’enfance. Déposés sur les dessus ou appuyés au mobilier comme sur un chevalet, des dessins sous verre ou de petits tableaux actuels s’exposent. Le tout est soigneusement maintenu, attaché, comme pour solidifier en un ensemble ce qui a appartenu à des temps, à des espaces différents.

Et c’est comme si peintures et dessins privés de la solidité des murs devaient se déposer comme des sculptures sur ce qui devient alors socle : un refus des clivages, un déplacement revendiqué jusque dans les formes artistiques. Mais aussi comme si s’énonçait ce qui peut lier le peintre à sa famille : une affection partagée pour les tissus, toiles et motifs.

L’agencement s’amuse d’effet décoratif quand par exemple des cubes colorés d’enfant soigneusement alignés, forment des bordures, ou crée avec humour et dérision, l’explication d’une vocation : Saturnin le canard, a été peintre et navigateur, sur ces draps qui ont pu accompagner les rêves de la fillette qui est devenue artiste et voyageuse. Une figure singulière, en tracé blanc crayeux et noir sur un fond vert de tableau d’école, grimace en une pose énigmatique qui semble dialoguer avec le canard artiste, par la juxtaposition du tissu trouvé et du dessin.

Les dessins proposés, personnages très graphiques accompagnés de courtes phrases, comme pour une invitation au récit, sont faits de peu sur ces fonds qui peuvent référer à l’enfance parce que noirs comme l’ardoise quand ils n’utilisent pas ce vert particulier. Ils restent volontairement elliptiques, énigmatiques nous obligeant à nous risquer à une interprétation hasardeuse. Les tableaux sont produits à partir d’œuvres laissées sur place puis retrouvées lors d’allers retours entre deux continents. Ces restes récupérés par découpage ou impressions sur toile sont repris avec les moyens offerts par les lieux et les rencontres nouvelles. Et c’est depuis un centre marqué d’où s’écoulent des réseaux linéaires que la matière colorée en tache opaque recouvre les motifs végétaux anciens et les renvoie en arrière plan. Un souvenir retrouvé soumis à un éloignement pour mieux servir de soubassement au présent.

La tente engage au parcours dans un étal d’objets, un bazar, construit de réminiscences, d’associations comme autant d’allusions discrètes qui engagent au dialogue. Elle donne corps à ce nécessaire détachement de soi, quand on aborde sa vie propre en donnant forme à des souvenirs familiaux, comme ces formes de civilité qui permettent d’engager la conversation. Dans l’attente d’échanges elle est ainsi un appel à être empli des souvenirs des uns et des autres, des passants.

Video Art, Smartphone Apps, and Beer (Hooray!) at "Situation Range"

By Cultist Thu., May 24 2012 at 11:32 AM Twenty-four frames per second. That is all it takes for the human eye to register fluid motion, and for one night only, LegalArt is hosting a retinal feast. This Friday, an exhibition of video-based works by national and international artists will be on display on the second and fourth floors of the LegalArt building, as well as at the adjacent The Corner bar. The exhibit, "Situation Range," organized by the curatorial collective Southernmost Situations, features video-based sculptures and installations, and a looped reel of short videos. According to the curators, "No two pieces in the exhibition deal with the same situation. It is a survey of modern topics." "We have artists from Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Germany. We have people who have submitted work...who actually relate perfectly in this moment and to what's going on worldwide, and that's something that the Internet and online media and video are feeding," said Dominique Breard, program coordinator for LegalArt. French artist Alice Raymond's Cinema is a piece that dissects the cinematic elements of cinematography, soundtrack, narrative, and dialogue in an intentionally obscure style. TM Sisters' video Lite Nite Shimmer explores the implication of equal hierarchy between the "battle and celebration" of night and day through stunning editing and effects. Artist Dylan Römer will launch Time Piles, his smartphone application that creates a juxtaposition of images that are filmed in different times in order to explore issues of displacement, memory, and altered states of consciousness. He will be filming the video while simultaneously screening it as it occurs during the exhibit. At The Corner, Clifton Childree's We Want Beer is a site-responsive installation that will be conveniently situated among the bar's patrons. According to Southernmost Situations, "Its characters yell, 'We want beer' from across The Corner's bar. There is an undeniable relationship between art openings and alcohol, and Clifton is responding to this in a theatrical situation." Liz Ferrer and Alan Gutierrez are the collaborative minds behind Southernmost Situations, who proposed the show as part of their two month visiting curator residency at LegalArt in February 2012. "We like one-night situations," said the duo of the unique exhibit. So it's now or never to see this contemporary display on Memorial Day weekend. Situation Range takes place at the MacLeod Warehouse downtown and The Corner bar, 1035 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33136, this Friday, May 25, from 8 to 11 p.m. --Briana Saati

Press Release: Situation Range

Situation Range Friday, May 25, 2012 8:00-11:00 pm LegalArt 1035 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33136

Miami, FL—LegalArt is pleased to present Situation Range, an exhibition of video-based works by national and international artists. Organized by the curatorial collective Southernmost Situations, the exhibition will occupy the second and fourth floors of the LegalArt building, as well as The Corner bar, aptly located on the Northwest corner of the LegalArt building. On view for one night only Friday, May 25 from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, Situation Range features video-based sculptures and installations, and a looped reel of short videos.

As a relatively familiar and accessible medium, video art has the power to frame, communicate, and present a broad range of topical issues, whether through traditional linear narratives or timeless abstraction. The works in this exhibition are brought together to illustrate the expansive nature of video art and its seemingly boundless capacity to effectively present in terms of formal and visual content. Video as a geographical, cultural, linguistic, technological, domestic, ethnographical, political, historical, and art historical record, among other subjects, are all represented in Situation Range.

Featured artists include: Nicholas Arehart, Hannes Bend, Reed van Brunschot, Clifton Childree, Cynthia Cruz, Orlando Estrada, Christine de la Garenne, Bill Billowit & Richard Haden, Moira Holohan, Tatiana Istomina, Jordan Marty, Patrick Moser, Ania Moussawel, Crystal Pearl, Alice Raymond, Dylan Römer, Lindsay Scoggins, Magnus Sigurdarson, TM Sisters, A.G. Viva, and Antonia Wright.

The exhibition begins with How Many Miles, a video by Crystal Pearl shot at the southernmost point of the U.S—the birthplace of Southernmost Situations. Coupled with audio from a market in Cuba, the imagery in How Many Miles exudes a deep-seeded nostalgia prevalent in Miami for home, family, and absent cultural values. ANKERN, by German artist Christine de la Garenne, is a montage of underwater anchor footage, serving as a visual metaphor of calm, rest, and refuge in stormy seas. Ania Moussawel’s Twice Fried Plantains delivers a cinematic documentation of the process of making tostones, a staple in Latin-American cuisine. Artist Dylan Römer will launch his smartphone application, Time Piles, to create a new video on site that employs real-time footage to explore issues of displacement, memory, and altered states of consciousness. Orlando Estrada’s Tahiti sarcastically exaggerates the instant capabilities of art-making by presenting a ready-made that isn’t really a video, but simply moving imagery.

…/…French artist Alice Raymond’s Cinema dissects cinematic elements such as cinematography, soundtrack, narrative, and dialogue in a purposefully obscure manner. The importance of linguistics and their translation is romantically explored through French narration and its translation via sources such as Google Translator and Raymond’s francophone friends. What’s lost in translation depends on the extent of one’s understanding of the original French narration. Dark cinematography and a soundtrack to nothing also investigate the significance of their own roles. …/…

LegalArt’s programs are generously supported and made possible with the support of the Knight Foundation and Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. We would like to express special thanks to Dorsch Gallery. The opening reception sponsored by Peroni, Little Black Dress Vodka and Perrier.For further information contact: Dominique Breard [email protected]

written by Eddie Arroyo

This space use to be a car garage and has been converted into a room which is the case with most homes in South Florida. Most if this was done for extended family or to rent out for financial supplement. It’s this domestic history and quiet nostalgia which ever present in the here and then exhibition at Carol Jazzar. Alice Raymond is an artist who has curated this exhibition which is a compilation of four artists exploring different mediums in a retrospective eye.

The first piece that holds my attention is Antonia Wright’s The Brief Case of Poets which is a collection of books, magazine, pencil, pen, paper, and a book entitle How to Get Published. On the wall hung above seems to be a quote from the book instructing the reader the tools and methods on how to obtain a professional job. The piece is beautiful in its simplicity and subtle frustration and seems to be recept for failure. Kerry Phillips’ View with a room plays with the space it occupies in wonderful trompe l’oeil fashion. She has used the same window on both sides of the room one has a view of the outside and the other only has a view of the wall.

"Here and then attempts to show how the surrounding world are embedded in recent works of the presented artists, and what memory might result from these assessments. The installation focuses here on issues in relation to events and attempts to show what kind of observation or critical thinking the artists' work can then activate". Alice Raymond Antonia Wright, Kerry Phillips, Loriel Beltran, Dogan Arslanoglu are living and working in Miami.

THE GALLERY IS OPEN SATURDAY & SUNDAY 1-6PM & BY APPOINTMENT FOR MORE INFORMATION CAROL JAZZAR 305 490 6906 WWW.CJAZZART.COM

Art Occupies a Different Space with Dimensions Variable

by DANIEL RIVERO on JANUARY 17, 2012 ·

It is one thing to feature an exhibition from an individual or a collective in an art gallery. Most exhibitions

consist of pieces of work which are brought in, set up, and later dismantled and moved to another space,

or possibly a storage unit. “Site-specific” works, however, are made to address the space in

particular. While they have recently been popularized as the basis of street art, projects of this kind are a

rarity in the traditional arts scene. One Miami organization called Dimensions Variable wants to blur that

line and bring these unique projects into the gallery.

The organization has made it their mission to “provide a forum for the introduction of unfamiliar,

complex, collaborative and multidisciplinary practices to a Miami audience,” and with the help of recently

winning a Knight Arts Challenge grant, they are soon going to be able to expand their project, and widen

their scope. Recently I had the pleasure of visiting artist Alice Raymond when she was setting up her

latest installation in the Dimensions Variable space in Miami’s Design District.

The current space is unassuming enough, as there is a glass entrance to a 490 square foot room with

white walls and little else to speak of. Alice is constructing what looks like a wooden octagon that sits at

eight feet tall with the help of two friends. One of the sides has a door and a lock on it. She explains the

project, called Unit to me. “We will allow two people at a time into the room, then we close the

door. You will be able to spend whatever amount of time you want in the space with your friend,

girlfriend, or whoever you are with,” she says. Within the walls of the Dimensions Variable space there is

now a “sub” gallery that can essentially occupy any space and still hold it’s own. And once you enter into

it it is yours.

While the insides of the octagon are now blank, Alice has enlisted the works of 19 friends to line the

walls, some close, some recent acquaintances. “I have always been on the move, like I have been in

Miami now for two years” she tells me. “And no matter how long you stay in a place, no matter how long

you are going for, you leave with two suitcases. That is what they let you take on the plane, so that’s

what you take.” She goes on to describe to me that these 19 friends represent the state of her social life

at this point in time. If she had to fit her friends into two suitcases, today this is all she could fit. If it

were a few weeks ago, the gallery would be different, and a few months from now the same.

The following is taken from the Dimensions Variable site:

Considering them as part of herself and partly responsible of her work, Alice Raymond invites friends and

colleagues she has encountered throughout her travels, to build an eclectic collection. This collection is

offered to visitors within the confines of a unique structure. The structure is asymmetrical in shape with a

raw and unfinished exterior. Inside, the walls are finished and create an intimate environment to offer

these works as a private collection to two individuals at a time for the duration of their stay.

Behind the rough walls, we can see the formation of relationships between the participants and the

artist—relationships built over time and by chance. Raymond uses the act of choice in her practice to

bring together people and their offered objects for one installation. Instead of decisions about materials,

Raymond is interested in social choices influenced by her travels and everyday encounters. This project

brings up collective pluralistic ideas and questions the individualistic tendencies popular in the art world.

We look forward to following the organization over the course of the next year as they gain traction

thanks to the Knight Arts Challenge grant.

This unique project is running from January 14 through February 18, 2012. Dimensions

Variable is located at 171 NE 38th Street in the Miami Design District.

Step inside at Dimensions Variable Published on 13 January 2012 by Anne Tschida in All Communities, Miami 0

Alice Raymond's alt art space.

French-born artist Alice Raymond is up to some clever tricks over at the Dimensions Variable (a 2011 Knight Arts Challenge Miami winner) alternative art space. She has built a unique wooden structure, raw and unfinished on the outside, smoothed over on the inside, which can fit comfortably two people.

As one of the two visitors at a time, you will encounter an eclectic collection of artworks made by people Raymond met and collaborated with over the years and across continents. There isn’t a particular theme per se to the artworks, it’s more about the ideas and mindsets behind the individuals that are important to the end result. According to Dimensions Variable, “Instead of decisions about materials, Raymond is interested in social choices influenced by her travels and everyday encounters.”

So Raymond collected an interesting grouping to show in her asymmetrical wood house, locals and from abroad, including some familiar artists such as Jenny Brillhart, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Frances Trombly, Adler Guerrier and Emmett Moore, along with some newer names such as Per Nyström and Sabine Herrmann.

Raymond’s world involves influences from her birth-town of Paris, her formative years in Germany, and studies and travels in Sweden and the United States. She settled on Miami in 2009. Her second show here, “Unit,” opens on Second Saturday, Jan. 14.

“Unit” opens Jan. 14 and rund through Feb. 18 at Dimensions Variable, 171 N.E. 38th St., Miami; dimensionsvariable.net.

Unit @ Dimensions Variable

A project by French artist Alice Raymond, Unit is an asymmetrical structure with an unfinished exterior of raw wood and a finished interior decorated with an unspecified collection of objects provided by the artist’s friends and colleagues. From the exhibition description: “Behind the rough walls, we can see the formation of relationships between the participants and the artist—relationships built over time and by chance. Raymond uses the act of choice in her practice to bring together people and their offered objects for one installation. Instead of decisions about materials, Raymond is interested in social choices influenced by her travels and everyday encounters.

NiteTalk: Alice Raymond Gets It Together at Galerie Carré Rouge By John Hood | Friday, Apr 23, 2010 | Updated 9:51 AM EDT

Serg Alexander

Miami being the melting pot that it is,

we're blessed with one of the most keen

and colorful collection of characters in

the wild world. Among the latest to hit

our fair shores is oneAlice Raymond, a

tres fab French artist who ditched

Sweden for the Magic City. Our town

hasn't been the same since. Tonight, at

the Alliance Francaise' Galerie Carré

Rouge, Raymond marks her Miami art

world debut. The show is called

"Together." And this hip chick has it all

together in more ways than we can even count.

You're an ex-pat in a city of ex-pats from all over the

world. What do you think it is about Miami that

attracts such an array of people? Well, it is borders and

laws that say that I am an ex-pat. I feel home where I live.

For others, I don't know, maybe "Sea, sex and sun / Le soleil

au zenith /Me surexcitent / Tes p'tits seins de Bakélite / Qui

s'agitent"? (Serge Gainsbourg)

What attracted you specifically to our town? When I

received an offer to come in Miami, I laughed in front of my

computer! What should I go to a town that has such a

superficial image? That became my reason to come: I

wanted to see what is behind the set.

How would you rate Miami among other world class

cities anyway? Five stars! I expected to find some contrast

here. In that field, I am spoiled. I have been dropped from

the airport in a hotel on South Beach. I have been

wandering in the streets for three days, to catch the

atmosphere of my new environment. The first people I had

conversations with were the valet of the hotel ... and a

homeless guy asking for cigarettes and money to buy soups.

He got in the fight some days before and had all his teeth

crushed.

Now that you've been here for a spell, do you plan on

staying a good while? Yes! Surprisingly, Miami is a great

town to work [in]. The light is nice and regular all year long.

... The foliage and the mix culture, with its good weight of

unbelievable stories, are a nourishing

source of inspiration for me. I met

gorgeous people here in very different

fields.

Speaking of action, your first Miami

show "Together" opens at the

Alliance Francaise today. Can you

please tell us a bit about it? I am

interested in the relation between

individual backgrounds and location of

living, environment. I like the layers we

all have as persons -- as much as the

ones you can observe in nature. Both

carry a lot from the past, using it as a

ground to grow and keep on going. I

choose to live in Little Haiti and there

the Caribbean culture became a perfect

backdrop for my work. Working together

on getting things together is to me the

only way to keep on going. As a place of

exchange and culture, the Alliance

Française sounded to me a good

location for my first Miami show.

You're also a photographer and an

illustrator. Is there one form of

visual art that you feel most

comfortable in? A medium is not a

goal for me. I use the one that fits the

best to my ideas or situation. Since I

feel a bit nomad, paper is a great

material for me. It's light, soft and it's

akin to the fragility of your roots as

something you have to preserve. When

I travel, I have sketchbooks for

documentation and special grey paper

drawing books where I draw odd

characters in strange and distinctive

situations. They tell universal stories, totally independent of

where I am. I use photographs to show how I perceive

moving and transfers. All those mediums are part of how I

see the world. I need all of them to feel comfortable.

I see a little of artist Cy Twombly in some of your

recent work. Is he an influence? I love Cy Twombly's

work! It looks light and easy, but tell a lot about the tangle

of life. Around me, I feel too Peter Doig, Mark Rothko and

also fairy tales, comics and Renaissance art, for predellas

and the polyptych, as the previous concept of series in

contemporary art.

Besides other artists, where else do you draw some

of your inspiration? In daily life: people's stories, as an

echo to mine and any other human being; in landscapes and

surprising plants in botanical gardens; in daily adaptation to

new situations, feelings of anger or absence.

Word is you also teach children in Little Haiti. What's

that like and how did it come about? It is fun! The issue

of culture, origin, and language, regarding to the place of

living is part of my personal life. The wish of both Haitian

parents and French authorities to pass a linguistic knowledge

headed me teaching and organizing cultural sessions in Little

Haiti. Regarding to history, the link between Haitian and

French cultures is significant and it is very enriching to

wonder about.

When you're not holed up in your studio, where do

you most like to hang out? In the neighborhood biking to

Buena Vista Bakery, for an outside expresso-croissant-book-

cigarette ... or their neighbors Lemoni, stopping eventually

at Sweat Records, a pearl in Miami. Drop by a botanica for

an exotic visit and talk. Grab food at the Fish Corner, at the

nameless Cuban cafeteria for standing workers on 66th &

Biscayne, Metro or Café Mimo to eat outside, Anise by the

river. Then later to Churchill's, for various live music, with a

great punk rock smell. For a longer trip I'll go to Tap-Tap,

via the gorgeous Venetian Causeway, of course!

Together A solo exhibition by Alice Raymond At Galerie Carré Rouge, Alliance française Until Friday, May 14

Born in the suburbs of Paris, educated in Bordeaux Fine Art School and the University of Science of Language of Grenoble, she is currently based in Miami, Florida, after being based in Stockholm (Sweden), Bordeaux (France) and Trier (Germany) in the past.

Since she arrived in Florida, the cosmogony of the Caribbean culture became a perfect backdrop for her work. Like a mangrove swamp, the root sprouts and grows interconnected with other roots.
