Q&A: “Tired of Eating Pigeons" x Typoe - World Red Eye | World Red Eye

Miami, FL – September 21, 2018 – Meet Miami’s finest master, Typoe. A true Contemporary genius, whose experiential and interactive works are subsequently hanging on the walls and gracing the collections of some of the world’s most influential art collectors.

Typoe is a multidisciplinary artist whose work evolves in response to a given situation or site specific environment. Based in Miami, Typoe has participated in gallery and museum shows around the world and exhibited his work in Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, and Basel, Switzerland.

On Friday, we captured Typoe’s first solo show in five years, “Tired of Eating Pigeons” displayed in the Miami Design District. The exhibition is 6 foot by 6 foot colored work meshed with different textiles, colors, and hidden messages.

The exhibition is made of repurposed objects found throughout the city. Even the cardboard sign is actual text pulled from a handmade sign used by the homeless at street corners and at highway on ramps, said Typoe. It’s no secret Typoe’s approach to creating contemporary art is a reflection of todays social environment. Books Biscof founder of PRIMARY Projects spoke one on one to uncover the inspiration behind Typoe’s newest exhibition – read below for the full Q&A.

Typoe: The actual text is pulled from a handmade sign used by the homeless at street corners and at highway on ramps. In my opinion, it speaks to the climate of the world right now. People are tired of the way things have been, this is a conversation about change. We are at the precipice of a new frontier or possibly a retreat into continued conflict.

BB: The tone of the exhibition seems very positive with lots of bright colors and bold patterns. Is there anything you want people to walk away with?
