Chris Martin's Art and Shows in New York and Miami

exhibition · 2026-05-01

Chris Martin's exhibition, 'Wayfarer,' is currently on display at SFA Projects and will continue until Sunday. His artwork is also showcased at Mitchell-Innes & Nash. Notably, Martin's display at Sideshow in Brooklyn, which ran from September 17 to October 24, 2005, included a prominent black and red abstract piece visible from outside. A benefit event featuring over 300 artists is set to take place on Sunday, October 20, from 4-8 PM. The art scene in Miami is difficult to navigate due to construction and one-way streets, with the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) situated near downtown. Other notable exhibitions include Ellen Berkenbilt at Anton Kern and 'Nice Weather' at Skarstedt, among others. Arson is explored as a radical means of transforming exhibition spaces. In Julian Schnabel's film 'Basquiat,' the main character, embodying the East Village's ethos, receives advice from a mediocre artist-installer (Willem Dafoe) at Mary Boone Gallery to find a day job, despite his dreams of exhibiting there.
