Conde Contemporary is making a highly anticipated return to Coral Gables for a special three-day exhibition, The space in between, from Friday, October 4th at 6:00 PM through Sunday, October 6th at 5:00 PM. Hosted at 212 Miracle Mile, this exhibition delves into themes of belonging, home, and the personal journey of returning to familiar places that have evolved with time.

Curated by gallery owner and Miami native Stacy Conde, the exhibition explores the intricate balance between past and present, and how we exist in a "space in between"— where we are both connected to our origins and evolving into our future selves. At the core of this reflection is the metaphor of the silver cord, symbolizing the enduring bond between one's birthplace and their chosen home. Much like quantum entanglement, this connection transcends physical distance, keeping us tethered to our origins even as we explore new territories.

The exhibition features notable artists including:

  • Rubén Torres Llorca: Cuban artist renowned for his work in painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and photography.
  • Courtney Egan: Multidisciplinary new media artist and naturalist from New Orleans.
  • Ciro Quintana: Iconic Cuban artist from the 80’s generation, also known as part of the Cuban Renaissance, now based in Miami.
  • Andrés Conde: Cuban-born pop realist artist residing in Mississippi, most widely known for his Social series based on the celebrated Cuban magazine of the same name.
  • Kevin Sloan: Denver-based painter specializing in magical realism as it relates to landscapes and the natural world, with additional work in drawing, paper painting, and mixed media sculpture.
  • Giovanni Gellona: Chilean painter exploring the intersection of spirituality and aesthetics.
  • Ruth Owens: Figurative painter and video artist based in New Orleans.
  • René Portocarrero [deceased]: Renowned international artist of the Cuban Vanguard movement.
  • Pablo Santibáñez Servat: Internationally acclaimed Chilean surrealist based in Madrid.
  • Danco Duportai Garcia: Cuban realist artist currently working in Mexico.
  • Ernesto Capdevila: Cuban poetic surrealist artist based in Miami.
  • Henry Rodriguez Bíenes: Cuban artist working in Mexico City.
  • Aimee Perez: Miami-based multidisciplinary artist and sculptor, known for her work with human body sculptures, ritual objects, and altars.

The featured artists bring a dynamic blend of mediums and narratives to the exhibition, from evocative sculptures to thought-provoking paintings and new media works. Their pieces invite the viewer into a dialogue about duality, belonging, and the tension of returning home.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Conde Contemporary back to Miracle Mile. The gallery’s return is a momentous occasion, bringing with it an exhibition that reflects the themes of identity and transformation meaningful to Miami’s diverse community”, said Mindy McIlroy, president of Terranova. “We believe this pop-up will be a great success and a memorable moment for Stacy, the artists, and the community at large”, she added. Stacy Conde, reflecting on her own personal journey, shares: "This exhibition is deeply personal, marking my first return to Miami since moving during the pandemic. It will be bittersweet I’m sure, bridging the space between past and present, while reconnecting with the artists Iive long represented and introducing new voices in primarily New Media. The space in between speaks to the tension of belonging, where home feels both familiar and transformed, mirroring my own experience as well as the shared experiences of so many in Miami".

In an exciting collaboration, pastry chefs Molly Manning and Christian Velez, finalists from Food Network’s Spring Baking Challenge, will represent Natchez, MS, and South Florida respectively. They will come together to create a conceptual hors d!oeuvre that represents the exhibition!s theme of "being in two places at once". Sponsored by Natchez Food and Wine Festival, the City of Natchez and Natchez Gallery Suites, their culinary creation will add a multi-sensory layer to the event, evoking the exhibition!s themes through flavor and presentation.

Don't miss this limited-time opportunity to experience The space in between and engage with works that question and redefine the concept of home and identity.
