Hausammann Gallery Presents Triple Shot and The Unseen Colors

By Justina Coronel Wynwood Art District is the epicenter of Miami’s arts, where you can find walls and warehouses splashed with colorful street art and stroked with a creative atmosphere in an enriching environment. The Hausammann Gallery in Wynwood, known for its displays on the latest trends of urban art, opened its doors Thursday night for the art exhibition Triple Shot that featured the three of the main leaders of the Graffiti Movement. Triple Shot focused on the vibrant, vivid, and exquisite works of these well-known graffiti artists: Poesia, Rae Martini, and Raptuz. Poesia, from San Francisco Bay, has been creating graffiti for twenty-five years and has been internationally shown in cities such as London and Paris. Rae Martini portrayed his early work by coloring the streets and trains in Europe since 1990. He has created powerful images from his past work on trains to conceptual paintings on canvas. Raptuz, from Milan, has been doing graffiti for almost 30 years and is the co-founder of the Italian historical TDK crew. But the graffittism wasn’t the only form of art expression in the room. The gallery also featured the latest book of Italian writer, Marc Di Maggio. As Di Maggio introduced his new book, The Unseen Colors of the 40s, he also described how the book purchases would have a percentage of the proceeds donated to Joe Di Maggio Children’s Foundation. The guests sipped on champagne and enjoyed the deliciousness of traditional Peruvian samples while they observed and glanced around the gallery. Most importantly, through a purchase of a book, guests were able to contribute to those in need for the Joe Di Maggio Children’s Foundation. Now that’s a work of heart.

Hello, Hausammann!

By Jessica Faroy Photography by Alex Medina Outside, men moved their hands: a sharp slap of the palm, a graceful gesture of the wrist, a swift stroke of the fingers. All leading to shoulder grasps, handshakes and texting exchanges. On the steps of the doorway these habitual movements made the Hausammann Gallery feel all the more welcoming. Just inside stood Cope2. Composed and concentrated, his hands swayed to their own movement. A spray can was held in his palm, and with his finger on the nozzle and his wrist moving in grace, he performed live art in his solo exhibition. On Saturday, March 14th, the Hausammann Gallery opened their doors to Wynwood. Owned by Frederico and Beatrice Hausammann, the third generation of the Hausammann lineage of Cortina, Italy, their partnership has now brought another gallery to Wynwood. The expansion and decade-long commitment is their way of showing an admiration for the preservation of art and the society it circles around. Known for being observers of contemporary art, their transition to another continent seems to be justified by the urban culture Wynwood offers artists. Regarding their move, Beatrice commented, “We want to be part of the street art scene and what better place than Wynwood to do that!” The growing art community is known for their graffiti, wall-paintings and galleries, all lining up to add to the 21st century contemporary art movement. With the time that the Hausammanns have been in Miami, it has proved to be a learning experience for them. “The people that we have met, have been friendly and we believe that the art scene will continue to grow in the future,” says Beatrice. With this growth in mind, the Hausammanns seem to want to tackle a particularly popular subject in contemporary art – street art. The gallery opening, featuring long time friend and great business connection, street artist Cope2, showed viewers the gallery’s interest in street-art and their attempts to have gallery selections “reflect modern culture.” However, with countless galleries and countless artistic expression, what exactly can the Hausammann Gallery offer Wynwood? According to Beatrice, “the gallery will not only contribute to charity with unique projects, but be an outlet for local artists to express themselves. [Wynwood is] a strong art community, with some artists making great strides in the global art community.” After the grand opening of the gallery, spectators were left questioning future projects, exhibitions and collaborations. The Hausammanns did not budge. The only insight they gave was an alluring “stay tuned.” To those familiar with the Hausammann Gallery in Cortina, expect to see some parallel projects. As for those familiar with local artists, Beatrice revealed interest in street artists Cale and Atomik, elaborating, “We were lucky to have met Cale, an international renowned artist from Los Angeles, and Atomik, a Miami based artist, that we are going to feature in our upcoming art fair in Germany.” The Hausammann Gallery is located at 251 NW 23rd Street, Miami, FL 33127 For more information on the Hausammann Gallery, please visit www.HausammannGallery.com

Hausammann Gallery Opens in Wynwood

By Gisel Habibnejad Photography by Korey Davis Video by Alex Medina, Voiceover by Jessica Faroy Last Saturday, the Hausammann Gallery’s Wynwood location opened its doors to the public for the first time. The event was co-sponsored by MSM, Lolea, and Bastille. To celebrate, artist Fernando Carlo, Jr. (also known as Cope2), left the audience in awe as he performed a live painting session while his latest work, Power of Influence, adorned every wall of the gallery. The Bronx native began his career as an artist in 1978 and is internationally known as the founder of graffiti art. With notable collaborations with Adidas and Time Magazine under his belt, the Hausammann Gallery couldn’t think of a better artist to kickoff the start of a new chapter. Attendees included lots of Miami natives and even drew audiences hailing all the way from New York, who expressed their beliefs of Wynwood rising to become the new art capital of the world. The original Hausammann Gallery was founded in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy by Renato Hausammann. Today, the gallery is still kept close to the heart of the family as it is managed by the third generation, Beatrice and Federico Hausammann. With the help, of their mother, Gioia, the gallery keeps its traditional family values alive.  For more information, please visit www.hausammanngallery.com
