Mark Delmont: For a Lifetime, 2026
For a Lifetime (2026) unfolds across painting, photography, and video as an examination of labor, interdependence, and embodied knowledge, drawing from Mark Delmont’s background in construction and his time in a fishing village in Paramaribo, Suriname, developed during his participation in the Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program. The work foregrounds the physical and historical weight carried by Black and Brown bodies, hands that build, mend, and sustain. In the paintings, figures appear suspended, entangled, or in states of transition, their gestures suggesting both struggle and support, while the photographic works document acts of making and repair with a quiet attentiveness to process and environment. Across the installation, Delmont positions labor not only as survival but as a shared language, using the metaphor of “learning how to fish” to propose a model of collective growth. The project ultimately reframes strength as something relational, formed through care, vulnerability, and the willingness to enter uncertain terrain alongside others.
BIO
Mark Delmont (b. 1990) is a Haitian-Jamaican multidisciplinary artist based between Miami and Brooklyn whose work centers on the representation of Black and Brown life through materially driven, process-oriented practices. Drawing from a background in construction and mechanical contracting, he creates mixed-media works—often described as “fiber sculptures”—that incorporate materials such as wood, steel, textiles, and found objects.
Delmont’s practice foregrounds the labor, environments, and lived experiences of working-class communities, particularly those historically underrepresented in art history. His work highlights figures and narratives often considered peripheral, emphasizing their cultural and structural significance while creating space for abstraction, dignity, and self-definition beyond dominant narratives.
He has participated in numerous residencies and received multiple grants, including support from the Harpo Foundation, Oolite Arts, and the South Florida Cultural Consortium, with exhibitions and projects presented across South Florida and beyond.
Beatriz Chachamovits: Heliotropic Seekers: Drift, 2026
A site-specific installation composed of suspended, colored plexiglass silhouettes of reef species that unfold laterally across the Walgreens windows. The work considers drift not as loss of direction, but as a form of collective navigation — the quiet, continuous movement of marine life guided by light and current. Rather than staging spectacle, the work proposes an encounter - a glowing reef discovered in passing, suspended between street and sea.
BIO
Beatriz Chachamovits is an environmental artist working across ceramics, drawing, and installation, engaging marine ecosystems through material and narrative. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and based in Miami, her practice unfolds through large-scale immersive installations and sculptural works that reimagine oceanic environments.
She has presented solo exhibitions including Into the Great Dying: Waters We Share at Faena Art Project Room (2022), Roles We Play at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (2023), and Meet Me in the Clearing Between the Waves, an early career survey at the Miami Design District (2024). Her work has also been exhibited at The Baker Museum, the Parrish Art Museum, and the Art and Cultural Center of Hollywood.
Chachamovits is a recipient of the Ellies Awards and has been commissioned for public art by the City of Miami Beach. She has received fellowships at Lighthouse Works, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, among others, and is currently a resident artist at Bakehouse Art Complex.
