25. Gean Moreno
Artist and writer Gean Moreno is helping to shape the Miami art scene. Recently, he curated an exhibition at Miami International Art Fair, "Improvising Architectures," which showcased the work of such important local artists at Christy Gast and Adler Guerrier. In his role at MIA, he made it possible for Miami nomadic art project Spring Break to experiment with art and music with their own booth at the fair, bringing a little playtime to what was largely commercial.
Formerly of Locust Projects, Moreno is currently contributing editor of Art Papers
magazine. In 2009, he received a Knight Arts Challenge grant, which
enabled him to pursue his goal of creating Miami-based art books. [Name] Publications offers
a platform for book-based projects, featuring editions by Nicolas Lobo,
Daniel Newman, Beatriz Monteavaro, and the experimental design studio
El Ultimo Grito.
His art has shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, and around the world at Kunsthaus Palais Thurn and Taxis in Bregenz, Institute of Visual Arts Milwaukee, Haifa Museum, Arndt & Partner Zurich, and Invisible-Exports. He's also published in e-flux journal, Monu magazine, Flash Art, Art Nexus, and ArtUS.
