Spheres of Meaning
An Exhibition of Artists' Books
Spheres of Meaning: An Exhibition of Artists' Books presents a range of artists' books from manipulated texts to new narrative forms and books presented ...as sculpture. These “spheres” present philosophical inquiries, personal reflections, and ruminations on complex and often related notions such as nurture and nature. Moreover, this exhibition celebrates the rich and varied talent of artists living in Miami or artists who once called the city home, but whose books remain tied to the cultural fabric of this dynamic place.
The exhibition includes works by Margarita Cano, Lydia Rubio, Diego Gutierrez, Purvis Young, Carlos Maciá, Jeannette Stargala, Rosemarie Chiarlone, Lisa Haque, Rafael Domenech, Donna Ruff, and Carol Todaro, among others. At times delicate and intuitive, artists' books inspire close-looking. For some of the artists in the exhibition, making books is a primary creative form, while for others, artists' books serve as one of many media in which they engage. The books on view present eclectic interpretations of the book from the ethereal to the deconstructed and poignant reflections on autobiographical experiences.
This exhibition was made possible in part through the generous support of Oolite Arts.

Cut Abstraction in the United States from the 1970s to the Present, Frost Art Museum, 2019
Cut Abstraction in the United States from the 1970s to the Present, ...
Cut Abstraction in the United States from the 1970s to the Present,
During the 20th century, many abstract painters challenged traditional ideas of art-making. Some abandoned the paintbrush in favor ...of the palette knife, while others soaked canvases in diluted paint. Certain artists experimented by transforming their two-dimensional abstract paintings into three-dimensional sculptures. Cut: Abstraction in the United States, from the 1970s to the Present explores a multigenerational group of artists who challenged painting surfaces with cuts, carvings, and indentions. For some this gesture has been politically motivated; for others, it represents a bold and dynamic investigation into materiality. To this point, Jack Whitten once stated, “I cut paint, I laminate paint, I grind paint, I freeze paint, I boil paint.”
Cut: Abstraction in the United States, from the 1970s to the Present includes work by canonical artists such as Al Loving, Elizabeth Murray, and Jack Whitten, juxtaposed with work made by a younger generation, including Loriel Beltrán, Alejandro Contreras, Roberto Jamora, and Clara Varas. By presenting different generations, a historical arc of manipulated abstraction may be seen and evaluated. This exhibition brings to the fore the fundamental role abstraction has played in elevating American art to an international stage while pushing traditional interpretations of what it means to be “American.” For example, both Loriel Beltrán and Alejandro Contreras came to the U.S. from Venezuela as teenagers. While Beltrán acknowledges the strong impact of abstraction from his birth country by artists like Carlos Cruz Diez, he also affirms the influence of Jack Whitten. Whitten, an American icon is also a creative touchstone for Clara Varas, a Miami-based artist featured in the exhibition. Other artists in the exhibition include Mark Bradford, Jeffrey Gibson, Angel Otero, Howardena Pindell, Jacin Giordano, and María de los Angeles Rodríguez Jiménez.
This exhibition is curated by Amy Galpin, Ph.D., Chief Curator of the Frost Art Museum with assistance from FIU students. During the 2018 fall term, Galpin taught a course on exhibition development. Students in this course will contribute to the research, writing, and promotion of the exhibition. A digital catalog will accompany the exhibition.
Special thanks to Mindy Solomon Gallery for their generous support.

Aesthetics & Values
Summary of Exhibition
The Aesthetics & Values seminar of the FIU Honors College examines the vital role visual ...art plays in the social and cultural dialogue surrounding controversial issues. It investigates how artists have challenged or enforced authority by creating new aesthetics. The heart of the course is the Aesthetics & Values Research and Exhibition Project. This annual project provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their resourcefulness and creativity through the research, curation, and organization of an on-campus exhibition of contemporary Miami artists.
Since August 2005, John William Bailly’s Aesthetics & Values of the FIU Honors College has immersed students in Miami’s contemporary art world. The class has curated 13 exhibitions, collaborated with multiple artists, and provided a museum exhibition platform for Miami’s exceptional artists.

Summary of Exhibition
The Old and New ...Testaments are replete with female characters-good and bad wives, courageous heroines, and deceptive femme fatales. While some women saved their people, were paragons of wifely virtue, or repented their sins to pursue lives of virtue, others were purveyors of sin, harlots or hussies, or deadly temptresses and seductresses. Even if it was through their misbehavior, all of these women – from Judith and Esther to Salome and Mary Magdalene to Delilah, Lot’s Daughters, and Potiphar’s Wife, to name but a few – shaped biblical history.
Dangerous Women will present more than twenty paintings and etchings from the rich holdings of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. The exhibition explores women of the Bible as portrayed by 16th and 17th-century artists, including Pietro da Cortona, and Jan Saenredam. The exhibition will conclude with a modern and contemporary coda: Robert Henri’s sensuous Salome from 1901 and Mickalene Thomas’ Portrait of Madame Mama Bush 1, 2010, a reminder of the tenacious appeal of the subject.
This exhibition has been organized by The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the State Art Museum of Florida, Florida State University, Sarasota, FL.
Support for this exhibition is made possible through the FUNDING ARTS NETWORK, INC. and the Miami-Dade County Tourist Development Council, the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. FIU web Site[+] Show More

MFA Thesis Candidates Present End to End at the Frost Art Museum
March 12, 2018 / Art + Art History / By Andrea Perez
Each year, FIU’s Department of Art + ...Art History presents its Master Thesis Exhibition featuring artwork from the Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) graduating class. This year, the MFA candidates presented ‘End to End’, a collection of pieces that reflect on topics of family, equality and intimacy.
‘End to End’ is the culmination of the three year masters program. Throughout the track, the students work with faculty, curators, mentors and classmates to develop their own concepts and techniques. Some students investigate the same project matter throughout the program, while others build upon their previous work with guidance from their mentors.
This year’s MFA exhibition, brought together 7 emerging artists ranging in different art forms and mediums, including print making, installation, photography, sculpture, painting, video media and found objects. The collaborative artworks were chosen by Ashlye Valines, Assistant Curator of the The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum. Professor William Burke also played pivotal role in the execution of the exhibit.
The exhibition, debuted on Saturday, March 3rd, features artwork from Hazel Gil-Salazar, Jose Luis Garcia, Rhea Leonard, Angela Yang, Maricel Ruiz, Daniel Marosi and Matthew Chernoff.
‘End to End’ is opening for viewing at the Frost Art Museum until April 7, 2018. Admission is free and open to the public.[+] Show More

Connectivity
Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum
Through five thematic sections, Connectivity: Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum examines how art objects, created across cultures and ...during different time periods, relate to one another and to myriad publics. In the first section, the notion of individuality emanates through an examination of portraiture and different representations of the figure. The exhibition explores shifting notions of dress and comparative elements such as gesture and pose. The second section considers belief systems, with an emphasis on myths and organized religions. Abstract languages comprise the third section and offer an opportunity to analyze works that implement color, line, and form in dynamic ways. Whether it is a longing for home or the memory of a cherished street corner, geographic spaces examines how the notion of place serves as a creative catalyst. The final section reflects on this particular moment and evokes the effects of war, climate change, and the general uneasiness of a citizenry during turbulent times.
Connectivity shares recent gifts celebrates the collection’s treasures and includes rarely seen objects from the vaults collected over the past 40 years since the museum’s inception in 1978. Select objects featured in the installation will be rotated periodically.[+] Show More

Deconstruction
A reordering of life, politics, and art
Deconstruction: A reordering of life, politics, and art present the work of twelve Miami-based artists who interrogate varying notions of deconstruction in their work. ...By taking apart ideas and processes, they create mechanisms through which life, politics, and art can be re-examined. While some of the artists in the exhibition deconstruct current events, personal memory or cultural archetypes, others dismantle norms to suggest alternative societal and personal structures.
In the 1960’s, the philosopher Guy Debord encouraged a “ reordering of life, politics, and art” and cautioned against social interaction mediated by images. He presciently asserted that humans did not interact with one another enough in person. Debord perceptively anticipated society’s reliance on small hand-held technology, social media, and the twenty-four-hour news cycle that now permeates daily life. Often read by students of art history, Debord’s declarations were written during a time of political upheaval in France. The contemporary artists represented in this exhibition live in Miami, and while certain works are infused with local realities, global and even utopic questions populate the exhibition. These artists re-order objects and imagery in disparate ways to disrupt and question conventional narratives and ways of seeing.
Deconstruction features work by the following artists: Eddie Arroyo, Zachary Balber, Frida Baranek, Christopher Carter, Yanira Collado, Gonzalo Fuenmayor, Pepe Mar, Glexis Novoa, Sandra Ramos, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Jamilah Sabur, and Frances Trombly

Relational Undercurrents
Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago
Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago is a major survey exhibition of twenty-first-century art from islands throughout ...the Caribbean basin. Four sections reveal thematic ideas shared by artists whose roots are in the Caribbean: Conceptual Mappings, Perpetual Horizons, Landscape Ecologies, and Representational Acts. The exhibition features artists whose painting, installation art, sculpture, photography, video, and performance pieces challenge the notion that the Caribbean is insulated and fragmented. This groundbreaking exhibition highlights the undercurrents that connect Caribbean cultures and countries.
Curated by Dr. Tatiana Flores, Associate Professor of Art History and Latino and Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, this exhibition was organized by the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California, as part of The Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, an initiative examining the artistic legacy of Latin America and U.S. Latinos through a series of exhibitions and related programs
The accompanying catalog includes essays by curators, critics, and scholars that discuss particular artistic traditions in Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Haitian art, and theorize the broader decolonial and archipelagic conceptual frameworks. The catalog is coedited by Tatiana Flores and Michelle Ann Stephens, Professor of English and Latino and Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

Women on the Inside
Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum
Women on the Inside shares varying ideas of introspection as well as representations of women supporting one another and ...navigating institutions established by men. With an emphasis on photography and video, this exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the museum’s expanding photography collection comprised of works by twentieth-century photographers such as Manuel Carrillo and Ruth Orkin, as well as several photographers who studied at Florida International University including Cecilia Arboleda, Velma McDermott, and German Ruiz. These photographers demonstrate a reverence for ephemerality—fleeting moments worthy of documenting, sustaining, and honoring. The varied portraits of women reveal how individual voices remain integral to the creation of a community and furthermore, how the community can be cultivated through commonalities among works of seemingly disparate artists.
Woman on the Inside: Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum is a collaboration between museum staff and students enrolled in the class, History of Medicine through the Arts, taught by Dr. Amilcar Castellano-Sánchez. This course, taught in FIU’s Honors College, examines intersections between science and art. During the 2020-21 academic year, the two-semester course adopted an additional framework of women and the community to further drive their inquiries. Museum staff met with students to discuss the making of exhibitions and objects from the museum’s collection. Following these discussions, the museum staff and students narrowed the checklist, selected works, and ultimately created an exhibition more focused on the emotional power of introspection among subjects and as experienced by visitors.[+] Show More
