Young Fresh Different Miami is a group exhibition emerging from an open call by Zilberman | Miami in collaboration with Fountainhead Arts for artists under the age of 35 based in Florida. The Selection Committee, comprising Independent Curator and Untitled Art Fair Artistic Director Omar Lopez-Chahoud, artist Omar Barquet, collector and Fountainhead's Board Vice President Teresa Enriquez, and Zilberman gallerists Nazli Yayla and Gladys Garrote, carefully selected 15 artists from over 100 submissions. These artists reflect Florida's rich diversity and multiculturalism, with their works primarily exploring themes of personal and collective identity, cultural heritage, and self-exploration. The exhibition predominantly features painting but also includes installation, video art, sculpture, and conceptual art, showcasing a wide range of artistic approaches within the region's emerging art scene.
Additional Information: Young Fresh Different (YFD) aims to provide a platform for young artists and foster dialogue between them and the gallery. Initially launched in 2009 to connect with young artists in Turkey, YFD has grown into an annual group exhibition curated by an independent jury. As Zilberman continues to expand, YFD has also broadened its scope, introducing editions in Florida and Berlin. This expansion marks a new chapter for Young Fresh Different, seeking to engage with diverse artistic communities globally and offering opportunities to emerging artists beyond Turkey.
Young Fresh Different Miami, in partnership with Fountainhead Arts, provides emerging artists in Florida a unique opportunity to showcase their work. Selected artists will receive a $300 USD honorarium, and their artworks will be exhibited in a group show at Zilberman Miami in the Design District, available for sale during the exhibition.
