Over the last century, technologies, economies, societies, and political systems have been transformed, constituting a revised yet always shifting cultural landscape. In order to keep up, we constantly search for new feeling by way of the next lifestyle app, the next detox, the next transformative spirit journey to calm the nerves. Low-Grade Euphoria highlights the work of artists who respond to these shifts in the cultural landscape and suggest sensory experiences to guide us through them. It is a simultaneously frantic and subdued search for the traces of joy that enable and perpetuate social life today. With the help of performances, video, sound, and installation works, the exhibition rushes forward, toward new feelings and temporary joys, happily, in a daze.
Curated by: Sanna Almajedi, Valerie Amend, Patrick Jaojoco, Rebecca Nahom, Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi, Vera Petukhova, Jovanna Venegas, under the leadership of Mark Beasley.

‘PERFORMANCE’ PARA LOS DESAPARECIDOS
El Diario NTR
Por Miriam Pulido
A partir de la investigación de Carlos Martiel sobre la desaparición forzada en México, especialmente en Guadalajara, el artista conceptual originario de Cuba pero radicado en Nueva York realizará una performance que será la tercera entrega del proyecto Pensar la praxis, plástica latinoamericana y ejercicios neo-revolucionarios, que organiza el colectivo Sector Reforma.
Martiel, quién por primera vez visita el país, pero cuya obra ya se ha mostrado anteriormente, creará “un monumento vivo, con mi cuerpo que signifique la vida de miles de personas que han perdido su vida por monstruosidad y la violencia”, comentó el artista

ARTIST FEATURE & INTERVIEW WITH CARLOS MARTIEL
by Performance is Alive
This year performance art pervaded Miami Art Week 2015 (for better and for worse). Most notably at the non-traditional, multi-destination, Satellite Fair organized by Brian Wheatley and the curatorial project “Time Sensitive” curated by Jesús Fuenmayor at Pinta Miami. As you can imagine, the sheer density of events, shows and performances prohibited us (Alexandra Hammond + myself) from being able to view the full performance roster at either fair but we were determined to catch Carlos Martiel’s durational work at Pinta Miami. Martiel caught my attention last October for his durational performance, “Segregation” at Samson Projects (Boston) where he stood motionless between two layers of barbed wire. Upon entry, audience members were separated by country of origin and viewed the performance from opposing sides. Martiel notes on his website, “One of the entryways permitted the entrance of U.S. born whites and Europeans. The other, permitted the entrance of blacks, latinos, asians, and middle easterners, as well as any individual who was not European or U.S. born white. People were not allowed to mix for the duration.”
