Spectacularly Ordinary Art Show By Matt Fricano At KRMIA

Posted on by

Coinciding with the Art Basel Miami Beach, local artist Matt Fricano will be debuting his new solo exhibition, Spectacularly Ordinary, at Kidrobot Miami this Wednesday, November 30. Using Guy Debord’s notion of the spectacle in capitalist society–and using Miami’s tourist-based economy as inspiration–Spectacularly Ordinary consists of two differing halves. One is a series of photographs portraying reworked images from books published to push the tourist industry in South Florida. Opposite the photos is a series of grotesques silently viewing the reworked tourist photos. The opening is this Wednesday from 6-8pm and will be on display through January 12.

What new music have you been working into your sets on tour? I just had a new single come out “Eyes” it was exclusively on Beatport but is now out on iTunes. I have been playing that in every set and I am currently working on a new album. When do you plan on dropping the new album? That will be out late fall/early winter. Anyone you would like to collab with on it? I am wide open to anything, anyone! Hit me up! Do you like performing at Clubs or Festivals better? I can’t pick one because they are just totally two different things. They’re both totally different experiences but both of them are awesome. Can you expand on that?
