What's my line? is a question these artists ask of themselves before addressing the viewer.
It is also, by happy accident, the name of a television game show — a parlor game of reading people from the smallest clues: a gesture, a word, a trace. That coincidence is useful. Because drawing is exactly that: the smallest legible trace of how someone thinks. Not what they intend to show you, but the evidence left behind by the act of finding out.

The word line earns its keep here. It is the mark on the page and the route through a city or a browser session. It is the musical score and the security border on a document. It is the spoken phrase that is itself a kind of drawing: a mark addressed to someone, waiting for a response.

The sixteen artists gathered here are not a school or a movement. They work in sound, fiber, code, photography, printmaking, chalk, laser, rebar, wax, carbon transfer, and ink. What they share is not a style but a disposition: a willingness to let the line think, to follow it somewhere unplanned, to trust that the trace of a process carries as much meaning as any image it might produce. Drawing not as illustration, not as preparation for something else, but as a way of tracing experience from the inside — leaving an echo the way a conversation does, changing the room it happens in.

This is a room full of people talking at once. Sixteen voices. One question between them.

The Miami Beach Regional Library is the right room for this — a public space built on the premise that lines, written, spoken, and drawn, are worth keeping and worth sharing. The show asks nothing of its audience except to experience what a line can hold.

Carola Bravo is a Venezuelan-American artist, architect, and cultural activist based in Miami. Her practice spans public art, immersive installations, and video, investigating how space intersects with memory, history, displacement, and belonging. Through geometric forms and spatial interventions, her work reflects themes of home, exile, change, and resilience.
**Bravo holds a Ph.D. in Architecture and a Master’s in Art History from the Central University of Venezuela, and a B.Sc. in Architecture from Philadelphia University of the Arts**.

Spencer Chang is an artist, engineer, and toy maker interested in the play, creation, and care that emerges from our relationships with and through technology. Working across internet spaces, interactive sculpture, and creative tools, they engage with everyday practices to explore our online identities and design public good technology. These works leverage whimsical intimacy to interrogate our systems, invite new imaginations, and provide the means to reinvent them. Chang's work has been showcased by the New Museum (New York), Gray Area & the de Young Museum (San Francisco), Hyundai Artlab (Seoul), Tokyo Geidai (Tokyo), Museum of the Moving Image (New York), and Alserkal Avenue (Dubai).

Felice Grodin (b. 1969) in Bologna, Italy and lives and works in Miami Beach, Florida. Grodin received a Bachelor of Architecture from Tulane University (1992) and a Master of Architecture with Distinction from Harvard University (1997). Her speculative drawing practice invites the viewer to mediate on space and environment – both lived and imagined. She explores alternative architectures through abstract and rigorous drawings which are created freehand. She often imports aspects of her drawings into digital mediums such as augmented reality, 3D modeling, video, and fabrication. Thus, Grodin’s practice offers speculative landscapes that challenge the conventional ways in which we world build. Because of her lived experience in San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans, Venice, and New York, she highlights the transformative and unstable states within our ecosystems. Additionally, she often plays with scale and the relationship to the body through processes where analog and digital thresholds interplay.

Juraj Kojš (Slovakia/USA) is an artphibian exploring the fields of music, sound art, theater, poetry, mixed media, multimedia, bioacoustics and technologies as a maker and performer. Kojš’s commissions include The Knight Foundation, Meet the Composer, Harvestworks, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, Miami Theater Center and Live Arts Miami. He received awards at Europe—A Sound Panorama, Eastman Electroacoustic Composition and Performance Competition and the Digital Art Award.

Matute was a recipient of the 2024 Artist Innovation Grant by the Broward Cultural Division, a grant that provides support for artists in community-engaging projects.

Ana Mosquera (b. 1983, Caracas, Venezuela) is a mixed media artist based in Miami, currently a resident at Oolite Arts. She received her MFA in Sculpture from Tyler School of Art and Architecture in 2020 and a BArch from Universidad Central de Venezuela in 2015. Working with ordering systems and digital artifacts, her work moves between translation, re-contextualization, and dysfunctional encounters. Her recent exhibitions include *Between Here and Elsewhere*, Oolite Arts (2025); *Carnet to Go* at Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo, Montevideo (2023); *Tierras Raras* (solo) at Sala Mendoza, Caracas (2022); *Familiar Distance* at Edge Zones, Miami (2021); and *¿Por qué Islas?* (solo) at Licencia de Reconocimiento, Tenerife (2021). In 2021, she received the Honorable Mention Carmen Cordovez Crespo by HFFA at the 16th edition of the Mendoza Awards in Venezuela. She was also awarded the 2016 National Prize for Young Artists by the Museum of Contemporary Art Zulia, Venezuela.

Owen Roberts is an artist and educator based in Brooklyn, New York. His work consists of animation, art games and other multimedia works. He builds software tools to synthesize coding and digital media with research, writing, drawing and music composition practices. His work explores themes like free will, belief and ritual through endless animations, absurdist fairy tales, video games about animals and whatever recent rabbithole he has descended into. Owen is an Associate Professor in the Media Arts and Technology Department at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.

Judith Robertson is an artist based in Portland, Maine. Her work has been included in annual exhibitions at the New Jersey State Museum of Art, the Newark Museum, and the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art.
Her sculpture and recycled assemblage have been shown in national and international venues, including MIA Gallery at Miami International Airport; Dieter Keller Gallery in Lucerne, Switzerland; Schmidt Gallery at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton; and the Herndon Gallery of Art at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Sterling Rook’s practice engages the tension between memory and material, using sculpture and fiber processes to activate ancestral histories and inherited forms. Drawing from a mixed Peruvian and British lineage, his work references craft traditions, iconography, and familial narratives as points of departure for constructing a contemporary visual language.
Material is central to this inquiry. Rook works with forged steel, painted palm fronds, and handwoven rope made from reclaimed textiles, pairing rigid industrial elements with organic and flexible ones. These combinations operate as metaphors for permanence and fragility, resilience and adaptation. The materials also carry associations to labor, migration, and place, particularly within the context of Miami’s shifting and rapidly developing landscape.

Laurencia Strauss works from the premise that space is always being created. She considers the self and the city to be dynamic ecosystems with potential to be catalysts in creating the spaces we want to inhabit. A queer mixed Latinx first generation US interdisciplinary artist and landscape designer, she queers systems thinking to create experiences that generate agency and belonging as they navigate self-reliance and interdependence.
Based again in her home city of Miami, after years in California, Rhode Island, and St. Louis, her work responds to grappling with sea level rise and the climate crisis. These issues influenced her trajectory into the art and landscape architecture. Amidst environmental activism and speculative solutions, her work attends to climate change grief.

Alba Triana is a Colombian-born sound and intermedia artist whose work bridges science, technology, and sensory experience. Through immersive installations, sound and light sculptures, and vibrational objects, she investigates the relationship between the natural world and our human condition. Her practice delves into vibration, energy, interconnectedness, and nature’s self-organization—examining how the vitality of all things, both living and inert, shapes who we are and all we manifest.
Triana has earned numerous international accolades, including the Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction (Austria), the CIFO Artist Award (US), the ArtFields Grand Prize (US), the South Arts Fellowship (US), and the Civitella Ranieri Fellowship (Italy/US). She received the Colección SOLO (Spain) Acquisition Prize at Untitled Art Miami 2022. In Colombia, she has been recognized with the IDCT National Composition Contest, the National Electroacoustic Music Contest, and the Alliance Française Best Exhibition Award. Her work has been supported by major institutions such as the Knight Foundation (US), Harpo Foundation (US), Kronos Quartet (US), Pro Helvetia (Switzerland), GMEB (France), and the Colombian Ministry of Culture

Claudia Vieira (b. 1964, Porto Alegre, Brazil) is a visual artist whose practice transforms drawing into a spatial, temporal, and performative experience. For over two decades, she has built an internationally acclaimed body of work anchored in a single continuous line. Through large-scale drawings, installations, and performances, Vieira refines subtle gestures into immersive environments that engage architecture, landscape, and the body, inviting new ways of seeing space, time, and movement. At the core of her work is the continuous line—an elemental form that structures each project as both method and concept. Her site-specific interventions transform natural and built spaces, where drawing becomes a physical act unfolding in real time. By blurring boundaries between interior and exterior, presence and absence, Vieira recontextualizes space, memory, and movement. Her work aligns with artists who push drawing beyond the page, drawing inspiration from minimalism and land art. The line is both a gesture and an architectural force—measuring space while redefining it. Through repetition and rhythm, her installations evoke slow time and contemplative attention.
