The Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP Gallery) is honored to announce their first exhibition of 2026, Vision/ Version featuring Pablo Power in his first Miami solo opening this Saturday, January 17th from 6 – 10pm. For more than a decade, Power has been percolating ideas and memories into what is now this exhibition. Looking back at his first encounters with Miami’s local art scene, Power has compiled a vision which recalls his experiences through the years in the city. But key to both the vision and the version of that vision is the intersection of what is remembered (intention) and what is reality. Though away from the city for many years, and now working in Brooklyn, NY, Power has held onto the palette that is Miami, adding its unique light to his northward life. Looking back at his first encounters with Miami’s local art scene, Power has compiled a vision of his past experiences living in the city.
