Here’s our curated roundup of the art and the artists we spoke with at the PULSE Contemporary Art Fair at Art Week Miami 2016, such as Nicola Verlato, Devan Shimoyama, Tony Gum, Christian Rex van Minnen, K. Yoland, and Rashaad Newsome. We got up close and personal with a variety of works that explore themes of identity, collective and individual agency in a post-election climate, the emotional complexities inherent to confronting the grotesque, and a diversity of representations of women. In digging further into these works, we felt the weight of these pieces and how the ideas they present make a relevant impact as we look forward to what will surely be a tumultuous 2017.
