SUMMARY:Exhibit Closing Event – Salvaged: Nature’s Readymades
DESCRIPTION:Join us at MDC Kendall Campus Art Gallery for the closing of Salvaged: Nature’s Readymades, featuring work by Yusimy Lara, curated by Liliam Dominguez. This solo exhibition will come to a close with a reception from 6:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. on Thursday, October 1st, at MDC Kendall Campus Art Gallery.\nSalvaged: Nature’s Readymades presents new work by Miami-based artist Yusimy Lara, who transforms storm-stripped palm fronds, sea-worn shells, and asphalt residue into sculptural forms that speak to memory, migration, and geologic time. Working almost exclusively with concrete, rebar, and asphalt, materials more associated with urban development than fine art, Lara reverses their usual function, using the very substances of erasure to preserve and honor discarded natural fragments. Rooted in the shared limestone shelf beneath Havana and Miami, the exhibition considers the artist’s own journey, from Cuba, through Italy, to South Florida, as a kind of sediment: layered, compressed, and never fully erased.\nFree admission with Eventbrite RSVP ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/closing-event-salvaged-natures-readymades-tickets-2000889128245?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true ).\nAbout the Artist\nYusimy Lara is a Miami-based visual artist born in Havana, Cuba (1979). After years in Rome absorbing European art and culture, she pursued a BFA in sculpture at New World School of the Arts. Inspired by nature, Lara works across materials, from bronze to sawdust, often incorporating an element of danger. Her current work explores human origins, and the beauty found where living things meet built environments.\nLara has exhibited throughout Miami, including at the Deering Estate, Lowe Art Museum, Kampong Botanical Garden, and Fredric Snitzer Gallery, and has received grants including the Miami Individual Artists Award and the Corral & Cathers Grant. She is an associate artist at Bakehouse Art Complex and a resident at Miami International Fine Arts Center.\nAbout Deering Estate\nDeering Estate, located at 16701 SW 72 Ave. in Miami, is a 21st Century house museum, cultural and ecological field station, and a national landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, owned by the State of Florida and managed by Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department.
