Yevgeniy Fiks presents Cold War paranoia project at SEVEN art fair in Miami's Wynwood Arts District
Yevgeniy Fiks presents work exploring Cold War-era anxieties at the SEVEN art fair in Miami. His project features mushroom cloud imagery placed at historic Washington DC cruising locations from the 1950s. This references McCarthy-era rhetoric that equated homosexuality with Soviet subversion. The artist previously exhibited with Winkleman Gallery during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. SEVEN operates as a collaborative exhibition space where seven galleries pool their artists. The fair continues through Sunday at 2200 NW Second Avenue in Miami's Wynwood Arts District. Hours are Saturday 11 am to 7 pm and Sunday 11 am to 5 pm. Fiks's 2012 giclee print "Stalin's Atom Bomb a.k.a. Homosexuality, No. 5" measures 22 x 30 inches in an edition of three plus one artist's proof.
