A preview of works on view with Hayworth:
〰️ I Survived You by Suzy Kellems Dominik is a scorched wooden sculpture that explores the artist’s origin story and trauma. The sculpture will be accompanied by a limited edition print series featuring a poem the artist describes as the emotional scaffolding of the work.
〰️ Lans King’s Hyperreality mixed media paintings fuse digital screens that function as layered investigations into the lens through which we analyze life mediated by technology.
〰️ Cassandra Zampini’s DataMine artworks aggregate imagery of collective ritual to interrogate the value systems, symbols, and gestures that have become, through mass repetition, normative in contemporary culture.

Radical Semantics
by Atelier Caracas for Studio Boheme | Presented by Hayworth
Keep your eyes peeled beyond Hayworth’s booth: Radical Semantics is a series of nine functional sculptures designed by Caracas-based architects Atelier Caracas for Studio Boheme, a Miami-based design collective that commissions and produces the architects’ limited edition furniture collections.

For some, the sculptures resonate as symbols recalling popular Emojis or vectorized forms used in signage and commercial branding. For others, they recall forms in life: amorphous stones, clouds in space, blazing fires, an explosion.
Derived from an alchemical blending of culture—sources spanning from Bruce Conner to Ant Farm, the Michelin Man to Helmut Newton, John Hejduk to Michael Jordan — Radical Semantics is underscored by intellectual curiosity and punk sensibility.

On view from November 30
