#Director Spotligh

[hollywoodoutbreak]

Randal Kleiser was one of the first Hollywood filmmakers to hop on the Travolta Train -- after watching John Travolta on Welcome Back, Kotter, the young director cast him in two of his earliest films: the television movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble and his big-screen directorial debut, Grease. Kleiser told us that, after working with him on their first film, having Travolta as the lead in Grease was a no-brainer.

 Grease is currently streaming on Max and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and most digital platforms.

We’re are thrilled to be included in this year’s NADA and TD Bank's, Curated Spotlight, an inaugural special section at NADA Miami 2021 curated by Ebony L. Haynes. We have the biggest honor of not only debuting Dalè Zine at NADA this year but to exhibit Miami artist Alejandra Moro’s first solo show. Thank you Ebony L Haynes for this tremendous opportunity. From our first conversation to now, you have been a guiding voice and mentor we could only dream to have. Artist Statement by Alejandra Moros: "I recreate moments that are personal, meaning that my oil paintings are invitations into pensive moments of quiet observance. They stem from my interest in the duality of vulnerability, as a source of both comfort and discomfort, and the ambiguity that such extreme close-ups can carry with them." Curatorial Statement by Ebony L. Haynes: “I am thrilled to have been given this opportunity to highlight eight exciting, emerging galleries for NADA Miami 2021. Each of these spaces house a program that I have been fond of for some time, or one that I am following with bated breath for what’s to come. After approaching these galleries to participate in this spotlighted section, they each proposed an artist to highlight with a solo presentation. These artists’  practices are dynamic and thoughtful, especially for this moment where we see more consideration given to processes across the art world. This whole curatorial experience within the art fair model has been exceptionally rewarding and I hope that this TD Bank intervention is only the first of many.” For Curated Spotlight, Haynes has chosen to highlight emerging urgent voices in the art world. Haynes, currently a Director for David Zwirner Gallery, curatorial practice has traditionally been drawn towards a vast range of conceptual and research-based artists, never discriminating based on what stage an artist is at in their career. She is particularly interested in artists whose work remains challenging and topical whilst avoiding easy classification or commodification, making her an apt selection for NADA and TD Bank’s Curated Spotligh
