We are creating an environment for artistic search, exploration, and expression.

The Bakehouse Art Complex is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to attracting emerging and mid-career artists in South Florida to a workplace that provides affordable studios, exhibition galleries, and professional development opportunities.

With monthly rotating exhibitions, the Bakehouse Art Complex hold its Opening Receptions on the Second Friday of every month. BAC monthly events offer patrons a rare glimpse into the artists' creative world and an opportunity for our audience to witness our diverse and talented community of over 70 contemporary artists! With abundant free parking, exciting exhibitions, air conditioning, live music, open wine bar and 60+ artist studios, the BAC is a wonderful place to enjoy local contemporary art.

Audrey Love Gallery: INTERACTION I

Stefan Eins, New York
Richmodis DM, Darmstadt, Germany
Gunilda Woerner, Darmstadt, Germany


ARCHETYPES – an interactive cooperation
Stefan Eins + richmodis dm
Throughout the exhibition-project "INTERACTION", three artists explored different ways of interaction at two different places. Choosing the topic "Archetypen", Richmodis dm created 12 pieces of artwork. They are large-scale photocopies that were worked over by paint. The pieces of art were sent to New York to Stefan Eins who on his part had the option to answer to it with own works. He decided to work directly into the pieces of art by Richmodis. Finally Richmodis added a statement to the works that were sent by Stefan Eins.


ARCHE-TUBES – a sound installation
Gunilda Wörner

The cellist Gunilda Wörner refers to the topic "archetypes" with the sound-installation "arche-tubes". The installation consists of 8 aluminium pipes bent as sound columns. 8 different recordings will be played in a loop on a CD player. When walking by the objects, each sound event will be audible and recognizable.
