WYNWOOD, MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, September 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The much-anticipated Wynwood Juried Show 2024 (WJSD/24) is officially live, showcasing a groundbreaking selection of works from some of the most innovative emerging artists of today. The virtual exhibition, now available online, will be open for three months from September 20 through December 20, 2024. This year’s show promises to offer a thought-provoking visual journey that redefines the intersection of art and activism, tackling issues such as social displacement, environmental crisis, and the evolving status of women.
The WJSD/24 competition goes beyond being a simple virtual art contest; it is a vital platform dedicated to showcasing the innovative practices of artists whose work responds to the pressing issues of today’s society. From themes of human and planetary ecology to the experiences of social displacement and the complexities of identity and otherness, the exhibition invites audiences to engage with artwork that is both visually compelling and socially significant.
Selected Artists
This year’s jury selected a diverse group of talented artists who have demonstrated exceptional creativity and depth in their work. The following artists will be featured in the virtual exhibition: Eliana Barbosa, Magaly Barnola Otaola, Ricardo Carbonell, Mabelin Castellanos, Sergio Cesario, Meg Cogburn, Jinny Isserow, Matt Jacobs, Esther Kaufman, Deborah Kruger, Paola Lettieri, Mylene Leon, Karina Matheus, Carolina Merlano, Rafael Montilla, Nancy Oberer, Baltasar Perez, Lourdes Rivera, Imagreimy Salazar, Beatriz Sanchez, Daniel Schachner Raul Vargas and Marti Visbal.
These artists, selected from a competitive pool of applicants, represent a wide range of mediums and conceptual approaches. Their works collectively explore critical themes such as the condition of women, environmental crises, the devastating consequences of war, and the shifting landscapes of social identity.
Jury Panel
Dr. Milagros Bello, Director and Chief Curator of MIA Curatorial Projects, leads this year’s panel of jurors. A distinguished figure in the contemporary art world with over two decades of experience, Dr. Bello’s curatorial work is deeply informed by her academic background in Art Sociology from Sorbonne University and her passion for promoting emerging artists. Her interdisciplinary approach offers a critical lens on contemporary issues, making her an influential voice in the selection of the exhibition’s featured works.
Joining Dr. Bello on the jury are Orianna Montenegro, a multidisciplinary artist known for her abstract and experimental art, and Marlene Santaella, a socially engaged artist whose work spans photography and conceptual art. Montenegro’s exploration of color and texture, alongside Santaella’s deep reflection on human relationships and existential themes, provides a rich, varied perspective to the jury’s deliberation process.
Award Recognition
In addition to being featured in the exhibition, the selected artists will be considered for three main awards: First Place, Second Place, and Third Place, along with three Honorable Mentions. The winners will be recognized for their exceptional contributions to the discourse of contemporary art, as assessed by the esteemed jury.
Dr. Milagros Bello reflects on the importance of the event: “The Wynwood Juried Show 2024 is more than just an exhibition; it is a movement that seeks to elevate and project the new voices of contemporary art.
