Mark Delmont is a first generation Jamaican Haitian artist based in Carol City, Miami. With more than a decade of experience in mechanical contracting, he is a self-taught artist working with textiles to create dramatic portraiture of black iconography (inspired by the work of Ernie Barnes, Octavia Butler, Jacob Lawrence, and Haitian folk artists among others). Drawing from his skills with needle-work, graphic design, and painting, he creates “fiber sculptures” composed of chicken wire, steel, fiber, and wood. Through these portraits, Delmont seeks to provide safe spaces to abstractly represent black and brown people in the realm of art and shine light on the lives of less glorified identities.

I’m thrilled to announce DEEP DOWN, my newest curatorial project with Irina Toshkova (@tfaadvisory), presented at Atlanta Art Fair 2026, October 1–4 at Pullman Yards’ Porter Hall, Booth F03. Irina and I have been working together since 2016, so this year marks 10 years of collaboration! For this milestone, we brought out an all-star lineup of artists from New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Harlem and New Haven whose practices push us to look beyond the surface.

***

Objects and images can hold histories, memories, contradictions and meanings that aren’t always immediately visible or legible. The act of looking deeper can often shift what we understand something or someone to be.

DEEP DOWN asks:
What lies beneath the surface?
What is carried within us?
What remains unseen?

These 14 interdisciplinary artists make space for complexity by challenging our perceptions of what can be immediately seen and understood. Across their practices - through materiality, scale and form - perception becomes a point of departure, opening up space for what is felt, remembered, inherited, imagined and understood.

Our Blackness is often read from the surface. DEEP DOWN asks us to look beyond what is immediately visible, and then to look again. What appears to be one thing can become another the longer we stay with it.

A surface is never only a surface.
An object is never only an object.
Deep down, we are more than the surface can contain.

Come see DEEP DOWN at Atlanta Art Fair, Toshkova Fine Art, Booth F03, October 1–4.

What do we inherit from those who came before us?

In "As If They Had Wings" and "We've Seen These Kids Before," Mark Delmont reflects on the connections between generations, honoring the labor, sacrifices and aspirations that shape families and communities over time.

Drawing from his own experiences growing up in Miami, Delmont explores themes of work, identity and inheritance, creating portraits that connect past and present while celebrating the people whose stories often go untold.

Featured in "Close to Home," the works invite viewers to consider the legacies we carry forward and the futures we build together.

"Close to Home" is on view at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale through October 4.

On May 30th, we hosted the first artist-led tour at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (@mocanomi) for the 2026 South Florida Cultural Consortium (@soflculturalconsortium) exhibition, featuring artists Mark Delmont (@artlovetrap), Luke Jenkins (@inbloomstudio), and Amanda Linares (@amandallinares).

What I love about these artists is how their practices converge in their treatment of ecology as both subject and collaborator. Collectively, they propose a shared understanding of place as cyclical, animate, and continually remade. Their works encourage visitors to perceive place not as a mere backdrop, but as a living presence: generative, vulnerable, and deeply intertwined with the histories of those who inhabit it. 🌿

Programs like these are where the work starts to live in conversation with the people who come to see it. They turn a gallery into a room of voices, rooting the artists’ practices more firmly in community and place. 🤍

More tours and workshops are coming for the duration of the show. Next up: a workshop with the indomitable Jen Clay (@jenclay) on Saturday, June 27th. Don’t miss it!

Mimosas and memories with contemporary art ✨

Last weekend, Curator’s Circle members joined us for breakfast and curator-led tours of Anchors of Light and the South Florida Cultural Consortium exhibition before diving deeper into the work through artist-led walkthroughs exploring Florida’s ecology, environment, and place.

Thank you to our curators, artists, members, and visitors for making it such a thoughtful and inspiring day at MOCA. We could not do it without you!

Have you had the chance to check out the current exhibitions on view at Windows @ Walgreens?

At 67th Street and Collins Avenue, Mark Delmont’s (@artlovetrap) “For a Lifetime” explores labor, interdependence, and embodied knowledge through photography. Drawing from his construction background and time in a fishing village in Paramaribo, Suriname, Delmont centers the hands and bodies that build, repair, and sustain, using “learning how to fish” as a metaphor for collective growth.

At 74th Street and Collins Avenue, Beatriz Chachamovits’ (@beatrizchachamovits) “Heliotropic Seekers: Drift” transforms the storefront into a glowing reef of suspended plexiglass silhouettes. The installation considers drift as a form of collective navigation guided by light, current, and the rhythms of marine life.

Both exhibitions are on view through Sept. 6 in Miami Beach. Find more details at the link in bio.
