MIRA LEHR: TRACING THE RED THREAD

In mythology, Ariadne’s red thread helped Theseus navigate the labyrinth to rescue her from the Minotaur. Such is the inspiration for the MOCA North Miami’s museum-wide multimedia installation by South Florida—based artist Mira Lehr, who creates a mysterious world that reminds us not only of the gifts that nature provides, but of the importance of preserving them for future generations. A rope will wind through the galleries, leading to other works in the show.

CITY AND SHORE: The Thin Green Line

“Following a thread illustrated on the floor throughout the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami, Tracing the Red Thread charts the beauty and fragility of South Florida’s endangered marine ecosystem in a time of climate change. From Sept. 6 - Nov. 4, the museum-wide illustration by acclaimed South Florida-based artist Mira Lehr reflects her eco-feminist philosophy in two- and three-dimensional works depicting dense mangroves, jellyfish and the mystical coral reef through such media as burnt fuse lines, gunpowder, resin, Japanese rice paper, dyes and art to wear.”

Women Weavers: The Warp of Memory

SEPTEMBER 14 - NOVEMBER 2  2018

The word textile comes from the Latin “texere” which means "to weave", "to braid" or "to construct," and is the common root of words like text and textile. There is a discourse that flows between the threads and the fabrics of the artworks by the women artists participating in this exhibition. They weave worlds as incarnations of the mythic Arachne, transforming the techniques of weaving in a practice that invokes a common memory. Through their pieces, they transfer memories of ancestral cultures into contemporary art. Their works reconnect us with nature and respond to the calling of what we have lost in history and now needs to be interwoven in our visions. As such, the spectator should walk carefully and attentively through the threads that connect the artworks of these contemporary artists.
