GODDESSPHERE

{Photo+Styling+swimwear by Emily Meehan}

GODDESSPHERE is a temporary, experiential fourth wave feminist art installation and collaboration between Californian artists Marina Fini and Emily Meehan. Both ladies have combined their aesthetic forces, as well as that of a large handful of other visual artists to create a site specific, extraordinary display of feminine power, neon, plexiglass, paint, fashion and photography for Miami Art Basel 2016. Goddessphere is an immersive and conceptual sequel to Marina's collaborative 2015 Art Basel show, Motelscape. The two will be curating visual art from female//femme identified/queer artists from all over the world. Showcasing female drag performers, performance artists and diverse strippers; we are creating a platform to highlight the authenticity in the underground community.

Fini, Plexiglass jewelry and installation designer from LA, will be showcasing her plastic, holographic works alongside Meehan’s paintings and newest fashion collection, Paradise Infinity; a series of Santa Cruz surf-inspired fluorescent spandex wares aka RADioActiveDaywear.

Sara Weis will be installing her latest edition of “Minimalist Bedroom” in the second floor of the Shore Club’s penthouse suite providing private moments including champagne and the soundtrack of their choice for a small fee.

With this project the artists are aiming to create an accessible, inclusive space that allows the viewer to both appreciate as well as be a part of the artwork. It is meant to contrast the fallacy that art world emulates on yearly basis of hosting "VIP only" vapid art fairs while “re-appropriating” a type of institution (strip club//night club//”gentlemen's club) originally created by males for males to be now adjusted and allow for a new array of personalities, body types and representation.

To quote Hillary Clinton, "Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world."

Fini and Meehan feel strongly that the Goddesphere project is tapping that very reservoir and we want to make this fantasy a reality to represent TEAM FEMALE! In both the art worlds and in light of the results of the 2016 election. 

Your contributions will earn you endless gratitude and a free lookbook of Meehan's Paradise Infinity collection!!
