Earth Day Opening Reception featuring Jia-Jen Lin, R. Eric McMaster & Ombretta Agró Andruff at Locust Projects

Miami, FL – April 22, 2022 – On Earth Day 2022, Locust Projects celebrated the opening of the three new commissioned exhibitions featuring a new immersive installation by Taiwanese-American artist Jia-Jen Lin; a two-channel video installation by Austin-based artist R. Eric McMaster; and a video series guest-curated by Italian-born, Miami-based curator and climate activist Ombretta Agró Andruff, featuring videos by Ursula Biemann, Atul Bhalla, Tania Candiani, Shezad Dawood, and Miguel Sbastida. Together, all the shows relate to adaptation, climate change, sea-level rise, the ocean, and our relationship to Mother Earth.

Attendees had the opportunity to meet the artists and be the first to see their exhibitions, while enjoying conversation over drinks from Locust Projects’ Exhibitions Beer Sponsor, Tripping Animals Brewing and Drifter Spirits.

Jia-Jen Lin: Treading on Thin Ice, R. Eric McMaster: Drift, and The Sea was walking the earth with a heavy heel, guest curated by Ombretta Agró Andruff, are on view until June 18, Wed-Sat 11am-5pm at Locust Projects in the Miami Design District.
