Over the years, poker has become an important social activity for a number of Miami artists. Since this exhibition aims to give a larger image of the local scene, two artists who have become deeply involved with poker—as players, but also in exploring the things that surround the game, such as the history of chip design and collecting—Westen Charles and Ivan Toth Depeña, have been invited to organize their own tournament at the exhibition space. Involving participation from other artists and the audience, the tournament seeks to activate the exhibition site into a social space. Along these lines, artists George Sanchez, known for his large-scaled architectural installations, will create a functioning bar.
