MIAMI, FL.- The Rubell Family Collection presents Red Eye: Los Angeles Artists from the Rubell Family Collection, on view through May 31, 2007. For the first time in its history, the Rubell Family Collection (RFC) has dedicated its entire 45,000-square-foot museum space to a single exhibition. Red Eye: Los Angeles Artists from the Rubell Family Collection presents a cross section of the artwork produced in Los Angeles over the past 20 years by 36 L.A.-based artists - some iconic, some mid-career, some relatively new. When exhibited collectively the artworks created by this multi-generational group represent a substantial history, both of L.A.'s art scene and of RFC itself.
The title Red Eye was born from conversations and debates on the overnight flights from the West to the East Coast, fondly referred to as the "Red Eye" by bleary-eyed travelers. In this case those travelers were Mera, Don and Jason Rubell. "Traveling back and forth to L.A. we were like voyeurs looking into that scene," explains Mera Rubell. "For us, L.A. is never a complete experience, but at best an imperfect exploration - a vision found from the outside." For the last 18 months, like modern explorers armed with a Global Positioning System, the family combed the breadth of the infamous L.A. sprawl, visiting studios, galleries and museums .
"We felt the work was compelling enough to dedicate the space to one complete exhibition," says Mark Coetzee, Director of RFC. "Because of the great number and diversity of the pieces, and also because of the significant scale of many of the works, we had to dedicate the whole building to this exhibition to adequately represent the breadth and depth of the pieces we have here." The exhibition encompasses all media, ranging from painting to video installation".
