Reinterpreting the Red Room

My dear friend and fellow artist Rudi Goblen recently showed me some of the pictures him and photographer Duda Teixeira took of my "Red Room" installation last year during Miami Art Basel week. Here is a quick edit I did with one of them,  I call it "Legs on Red" :)

Thank you Rudi and Duda for the pics. Check them out in IG @roohdi and @dudathing respectively.

Pit stop in Brooklyn with the Create Collect Team

Speaking with the University of Miami 's "LGBTQ Studies" class Spring 2014.

"I was invited by professor Neil De La Flor to speak with his students about LGBTQ artists and art in Miami. I grew up here and so for me it was a very personal topic. I started at the beginning before discussing my coming out story. I shared my experience of growing up in Brazil until the age of 14 and dealing with the Brazilian youth bully culture before I even knew it to myself what it was like to be a gay man. Once here in Miami, where I went to high school, I was able to create a new life and environment, which opened myself up to different kinds of personalities and visions. It was only during college, however, that I felt comfortable enough coming out to my parents and friends. Besides sharing personal stories, I spoke about my work and my opinion on the gay and queer art scene in Miami, which I believe to be a very small one. This is a topic of interest for me, if anybody has any comments and or would like to share their opinion on the local scene or about queer art in general please leave a comment here." - Yuri Tuma
