Untitled Art Fair: Miami Beach

This week, the Bonnier Gallery is presenting Merhi’s most recent datagram, Kingpin(2022), in a solo booth at Untitled Art fair in Miami Beach. Kingpin features printed-out sheets gathered from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s database, which includes information on companies and personal information of individuals connected with international criminal organizations. The title is drawn from the 1999 Kingpin Act, which authorizes the president of the United States to freeze the assets of major narcotics traffickers, who are commonly referred to as kingpins. Merhi will also have an additional datagram on view, têtê-à-tête (2022), organized by Adriana Meneses as one of the fair’s highlights.

Untitled Art will return with compelling booth presentations, site-specific installations, and performances as part of an expanded curatorial platform spearheaded by Artistic Director Omar López-Chahoud. Guided by a mission to support the wider art ecosystem, this year's fair will focus on collaboration across the local and global art community. Participants have been selected for their curatorial integrity and international reach, and the fair's curation will facilitate interesting juxtapositions and discussion between galleries, artists, and non-profits from 31 countries.
