The Replay Gallery Is This Year's Must-See at Miami Art Week
Amid the flurry of events happening this week at Miami Art Week, there is one thing that is truly unprecedented in nature. Apple Music and Highsnobiety have joined forces for a collaboration combining art, music, and storytelling for an event like no other. This weekend, it’s all about The Replay Gallery — and you can reserve a spot to experience it firsthand by registering here.
The Replay Gallery builds on the premise of Replay, Apple Music’s evolving year-end feature that turns your listening habits into a kind of sonic autobiography, generating a highlight reel of your top songs, artists, albums, and genres with a custom playlist, revealing not just what you listened to but a deeper sense of how you moved through the year. Replay surfaces patterns and moments you may not have noticed: minutes listened, new artists discovered, microphases you cycled through, and sounds tied to your shifting moods.
At the Replay Gallery, visitors experience a multi-sensory takeover designed to examine how music shapes identity, memory, and community. Taking place at Superblue Miami — the 50,000-square-foot experiential art center across from the Rubell Museum and minutes from Wynwood — visitors can reflect on how music shaped their lives in 2025 through an interactive installation, a series of talks, a visual art exhibition, and invite-only parties. The programming unfolds across the Replay Gallery, where guests are invited to engage with artworks by eight leading contemporary artists reflecting on the intersections of sound, image, place, and culture. Or, they can sink into the inviting purple lounge area as well as a custom sculptural seating environment designed by Marseille-based artist Sara Sadik.
The Replay Gallery will exhibit eight artists — Angel Otero, Calida Rawles, Devon Turnbull, Gabriel Moses, Henry Taylor, Jeremy Deller, Sadik, and Tommy Malekoff — in a group show navigating music’s relationship with art. It will look at the way music crosses over with visual art, geography, identity, youth culture, therapeutic practices, and the multilayered complexities and dynamics behind them.
Otero, a Puerto Rican, Chicago-based artist, looks at the dualities of diasporic identity and how music acts as a thread between it. Turnbull will display his collaborative speaker designs with OJAS and NNNN. Los Angeles-based painter Rawles, who uses water as a subject in her work, will show paintings that look at fluidity as a metaphor for cultural memory and music. Deller maps culture through music, visualizing the connections between place, artist, and genre in a video installation. Malekoff uses liminal space as his subject, connecting the natural and social through music in his video work. In addition to her sculptural seating area, Sadik will unveil a video work portraying introversion, world-building, and escapism as a healing response to an overstimulated, media-saturated life, with music acting as a companion and catalyst for emotional transformation in the same way our listening habits shape mood and creativity over a year.
On December 5, The Replay Gallery will kick off with an exclusive invite-only preview to see the space. Food will be served by multihyphenate artist Kilo Kish’s American Gurl Burger, While Tim Sweeney, radio host, DJ, producer, and host of Apple Music 1’s Beats in Space, will provide the evening’s soundtrack.
On December 6, the gallery opens to the public for a full day that blends discussion, listening, and exhibition viewing. Turnbull kicks off the afternoon series of talks at 1pm with Listening Closely, an interactive conversation and listening experience exploring acoustics, attention, and the therapeutic qualities of horn-loaded sound. Sadik’s discussion follows at 4pm with Symphonic Interiors, a talk that unpacks how vulnerability, environment, and mood inform artistic process, and how music functions as a constant emotional presence in her work. The final conversation at 6pm is I See A New World, where Moses discusses the importance of tone, personal and collective memory, and how sound and image intersect across his film and photography practice. These conversations animate the gallery, making the daytime experience less about passive viewing and more about participating in a collective reflection on how music shapes our lives.
That night, The Replay Gallery shifts into its final mode with Replay Remix, an exclusive, guestlist-only party that closes out the two-day event. The evening, featuring a FOMO-inducing lineup, serves as a living embodiment of the Replay concept: instead of traditional sets, DJs perform using their personal Replay insights, turning their most-played tracks of the year into a narrative arc. Crystallmess, the French multidisciplinary artist and DJ known for her explosive, genre-blurring sets, opens the night, followed by Detroit legend Moodymann — Kenny Dixon Jr. — whose blend of house, funk, jazz, and soul has shaped generations of listeners.
By bridging art, technology, and storytelling, the exhibition transforms music from something ephemeral into something spatial, something you can walk into, across, and through. In a year defined by rapid shifts in culture, global scenes, and personal reinvention, The Replay Gallery becomes a reminder that what we listen to says more about us than we realize — and that those private soundtracks become something much bigger when shared.
Catch The Replay Gallery on December 6 from 11am to 7pm at Super Blue Miami, 1101 NW 23rd Street. RSVP here.
