Menena Cottin’s “Seeking the Essence” at Ideobox Art Space

Seeking the Essence premiered in Wynwood at Ideobox Art Space, as guests made their way through 18 distinctive interactive displays that invited reflection. Menena Cottin, a philosopher as much as an artist, replicated the exhibit she had created alongside Curator Pedro Quintero in Caracas two years before. Based on Menena’s award-winning graphic designs and children’s books, the Venezuelan native takes viewers through a sensory experience with displays that are playful, interactive and fully bilingual. “The way Menena approaches profound ideas is unique and brilliant,” said former WLRN Art Producer Meredith Porte who attended the opening reception. “This is art that makes you think.” The exhibit will be on view at Ideobox, 2417 N. Miami Avenue, through June 23.
