Dealing with divorce isn’t easy. The person abandoning ship typically ends up anchored with guilt while the other drowns in rejection. But rather than busy herself with gardening or clearing cupboards to fight stress, photographer Lamia Khorshid holed up in a Coral Gables hotel room to come to terms with her recent breakup. See the results this weekend, beginning at 6 p.m., during the Second Saturday Art Walk. At Curator’s Voice Art Projects, Khorshid will unveil “Hotel St. Michel,” featuring a suite of the self-portraits she snapped while eulogizing her marriage.
A few doors away, at the Ascaso Gallery, Arturo Correa will do his own soul-searching in “Colorful Tragicomedy.” His paintings of urban flowers rising from the cracks of alienation reflect his daily battle with what he terms the “puzzle of existence.” Also on view will be the work of horse whisperer Alirio Palacios, who is best known for lassoing viewers via his paintings of ponies.
Load up with more baggage across the pavement at the Dina Mitrani Gallery where Marina Font’s solo show, “Imprinted,” will feature photos of suitcases to illustrate concepts of memory, tradition, and the experience of adopting a new homeland.
