NOTE: There indeed will be horse-drawn Humvee rides given during the Fairs
to some very lucky people, but don't ask us, it's up to the horses...

SPECTREVISION PRESENTS
an exhibition of necessary research
http://spectrevision.org

Spectre Event Horizon is an aggregate of actionable intelligence, a five year old open-source online collaborative, gathering investigative research from across the disciplines.

As such, Spectrecon1 : Miami, our inaugural presentation, showcases contemporary conceptual artwork inspired by current events, juxtaposed with street photojournalism, various non-art experiments, and other relevant findings; an exhibition of genuine economic wonder, and other strange feelings about the confusions we face.

Featuring:
the Miami premiere of Jeremy Dean’s horse-drawn Humvee (a contemporized Hoover Cart) circling the Fairs of Wynwood, courtesy of the 21c Museum Hotel Collection,
of Louisville, KY

and Including:
Jonathon Keats, Oliver Laric, Michael Mandiberg, Mike Ross,
Ryan C. Doyle, Nellie Appleby, Adriane Colburn & Stephan von Muehlen,
Julia Samuels & Paula Z. Segal, hacker Dan Kaminsky, economic historian
Stephen Mihm ("Nation of Counterfeiters"), authors Howard Bloom ("Lucifer Principle"),
Robin Kahn ("Dining in Refugee Camps"), & Zachary Mexico ("China Underground"), Philip Tinari (founding editor of artforum.com.cn & LEAP), photographers Cheryl Dunn, Tod Seelie, Janine Gordon, Stacy Kranitz, Lupara Bianca, Lopi LaRoe,
Olivia Wyatt, & Julia Solis, Miami firefighter Myles Kaplan, holographer
Mark Diamond, psychic economist Eva Destruction, artist/activist Ben Sisto, 'missed connections' curator Gillian Sneed, consumer advocate Dewey LLC, and others

Meanwhile:
in observation of the Sabbath, we refrain from conducting business

- Friday evening 8pm: an open public summit on China, moderated by Philip Tinari and Zachary Mexico together in informal discussion on what we most significantly misunderstand about China.

- Saturday afternoon 1-6pm: continuing education series: including a tutorial from Jeremy Dean on how to make a DIY horse-drawn automobile, and its historical precedents, like throughout the Great Depression when no one could afford gasoline. Plus additional discussion on how to use a geiger counter with Ryan C. Doyle, open-source culture with Ben Sisto, abstract holography with Mark Diamond, whispered gossip about Mark Lombardi's voluminous investigative research, various art world business models, and many other politically-taboo subjects, objects, and entertainments, including counterfeit money, recipes from Saharan refugee camps, pioneering terraforming experiments, hacked genetics visualizations, and more


Bonus: Only in Miami
Featuring samples from the recently discovered collection of eccentric Chasidic rabbi Aryeh Wuensch, who has been obsessively purchasing and hoarding - though never cataloguing - artwork dating from the post war period to the present day. Most of these pieces - including lithographs by Marc Chagall, tapestries by Max Ernst, drawings by Keith Haring, photos by Christian Boltanski and Marina Abramovic, metal sculpture by Beverly Pepper, a book of original collaborations between artist Not Vital and various Italian poets including
Pier Paolo Pasolini, among other works too numerous to mention - have not been shown publicly since their respective openings, if at all.
