The CAMP Gallery is excited to announce its upcoming exhibition Asking For a Friend, which will be running from March 7th-April 4th. Don't miss our opening night on Friday, March 7th 6:00 pm- 9:00 pm at our North Miami gallery. Asking For a Friend unites four women artists: Heidi Hankaniemi, Joan Wheeler, Lydia Viscardi, and Silvana Soriano. The exhibition borrows from the familiar mechanism of an advice column -with a twist- using distinct bodies of work to explore questions of love, pride, fear, and autonomy as a form of allyship and emotional community-building.
Asking For a Friend celebrates the ways in which women take care of one another, explicitly pushing past the woes of a blossoming generation to be inclusive of trans-generational perspectives and experiences. The exhibition functions as a space wherein one can navigate personal and communal hardships: how to grieve; celebrate small victories; find courage; get rich; start over; accept reality; dream.
Curated by Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco.
The CAMP Gallery is open Tuesday–Saturday, 12 to 5 PM.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery)
The Contemporary Art Modern Project Gallery specializes is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to raising awareness for emerging and mid-career artists with a unique emphasis on ultra-contemporary approaches to textiles and fiber art. Founded during the height of the pandemic by Melanie Prapopoulos, the gallery has gone on to create a distinctly academic and thought-provoking arts program in North Miami, and beyond. As a gallery, The CAMP remains steadfast in transparency both for the artist and for the collector, building bridges and connections from creation to acquisition. With a robust local and international roster, the gallery represents artists working in textiles and fiber, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Looking at art, as a whole, through a reactionary and interdisciplinary approach, the gallery operates as a space wherein creativity and reality co-exist.
Curator :
Joan Wheeler’s paintings serve as her visual diary. As with dream imagery, interpretations may vary and content is personal and symbolic; her themes are highly autobiographical and reflect fear, hope, sorrow and longing, most often played out in a natural setting.
Heidi Hankaniemi's practice is based on the belief that objects have a physical memory and that handmade textiles; embroideries, lace and crochets absorb an ‘essence’ from their creators, collecting old, often damaged, handiworks from flea markets and charity shops from across the World.
Silvana Soriano's work has been driven by a desire to reveal an image with a strong poetic content, where the body is not only physical, but is also the way to represent personal speech. Her work is a record of a precise moment that alludes to the poetry of the mind and the connotations that it takes on the body.
Lydia Viscardi brings a mysterious balance into her mixed media work, enabling her to comment on the conflicting conventions of nature, human society, everyday life, and the human soul. The artist often revisits themes of mortality and its ever presence, loss, and memory particularly childhood memory.
A note from the curator: The CAMP Gallery’s programming for this exhibition will feature submitted queries. Questions you have for each artist will be shared with them; you can keep it anonymous, or share your name.
