Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami was established in 2009. Featured works at Mindy Solomon straddle art and design by curating exhibitions across media like painting, textiles, videos, sculpture and more. Conversation with the namesake founder, Mindy Solomon, was critical, intimate and thoughtful.
LB: There are so many different galleries and museums, places where people can find art exhibits. What makes the Mindy Solomon Gallery unique?
Mindy Solomon: The program is an intersection between contemporary art and design. So, there’s a lot of material-based work for people to experience, not just paintings on the wall. There are things that they would not probably normally see in a lot of galleries here.
LB: Are there any challenges you are glad Mindy Solomon has overcome this year or in the last few years?
MS: If you decide that you want to follow your own vision, that means that you’re stepping away from the herd, which we say, you have the responsibility to try and inspire people to appreciate and potentially want to possess the things that you think are worth looking at. And that’s a challenge. It’s kind of the difference between blockbuster movies that have a certain level of mediocrity, as opposed to special independent films that are more cerebral. It’s trying to engage people to think a little more uniquely about what they’re experiencing.
