Me ‘n’ Mines Exhibition Gallery Opening
2025-09-11 17:30 - 20:00 (America/Halifax) | TERN Gallery, Mahogany Hill, Western Road, Nassau, Bahamas
Come and see works by the incomparable Heino Schmid (@schmidheino) and Steven Schmid (@stevenhschmid) in their two-person exhibition “Me ‘n’ Mines”!
Opening Thursday, 11th September 2025 from 5:30 – 8:00 pm, the exhibition showcases new works by the artists who continue to push the needle forward on the concepts of deconstruction and reconstruction.
Steven Schmid is a Bahamian interdisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of masculinity and otherness through painting, collage, and assemblage. Adopting Hip-Hop production and sampling as a visual practice, Schmid’s current research explores how laughter, humour, and play can create more expansive representations of Bahamian masculinity and individualism. Heino Schmid is a Bahamian multi-media artist working in a variety of disciplines that drive his creative process of visual deconstruction and cultural analysis. Working primarily in iterations of charcoal on paper, Schmid’s gestural drawings focus on the nuances of posture, relation, and reduction.
Through repetition of artwork titles in the case of Steven, and gestures and themes of the artwork in the case of Heino, together the brothers aim to examine family relationships, past and present, and the essence and rituals around the enaction or performance of manhood. Both try to determine what a new world could look like if they and their beloveds were able to show up flawed, yet ready to work.
