Art Exhibit: Gustavo Novoa
We are excited to launch our new gallery space with a premier installation of Chilean born Gustavo Novoa. In the early 1970's his one-man shows in New York, Paris, Palm Beach and Beverly Hills established him as a champion of ecology and wildlife preservation. His animals were primitive and painted in lush and colorful backgrounds. Novoa's Book Jungle Fables was sponsored by ArtesMiami, a non profit Literary Foundation. The book enacts the old conflict of Vice and Virtue, but in poetry rhymes. Felines speak eloquently about the old dilemma; right or wrong? Leopards, lions, elephants, monkeys, panthers and even peacocks are all in search of answers. They might not find them, but their poetic interaction finds us very entertained. Signed copies and gicl © es will be available for purchase in the Botanical Boutique.

Connectivity
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.

Depicting Hemingway: Guy Harvey Sketches The Old Man and the Sea
A collection of 59 pen-and-ink illustrations by world-renowned artist, conservationist, scientistand entrepreneur Dr. Guy Harvey is now in display alongthe grand staircase of theKey West Art & Historical Society’s Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street in Key West. The exhibit is on loanindefinitely by Dave and Cheryl Copham.
Show more >>
Titled “Depicting Hemingway: Guy Harvey Sketches The Old Man and the Sea,”the exhibit is based on the tale of Santiago the fisherman and his battle with the marlin in Ernest Hemingway’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The Old Man and the Sea was introduced to Dr. Harvey by his mother when he was 11 years old and it instantly fascinated him, becoming his biggest inspiration to become an artist and begin depicting marine life. The 59 pieces were drawn by Dr. Harvey over the course of a year while attending boarding school England as a teenager.According to Dr. Harvey, the range of media he uses today was all developed from this illustrative pen and ink style.
Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 6 and up, and free for children under 6. Monroe County students also receive complimentary admission with ID and all other students can enter the museum for $5.
The Custom House Museum is one of four museums stewarded by Key West Art & Historical Society, all of which are listed in TripAdvisor’s “10 Best Museums in Key West.”

Felice Grodin: Invasive Species
Augmented Reality (AR) Exhibition
Felice Grodin: Invasive Species is a virtually interactive, digital exhibition of commissioned works by Miami-based artist Felice Grodin. The series employs the immersive technology of augmented reality (AR), and is accessible to visitors using iOS devices in PAMM’s outdoor areas and in the Padma and Raj Vattikuti Learning Theater on the museum’s first floor. This AR project is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Show more >>
Influenced by geophilosophy—a field of thought shaped by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari that analyzes the relationship between physical and mental territories—Grodin draws on her training as an architect to explore the mutable within landscape, architecture, and her urban surroundings. Felice Grodin: Invasive Species interacts with PAMM’s architecture, evolving and transforming the museum’s environment for the duration of the exhibition.
Featuring a total of four digital works, the show launches with two AR site-specific works—Mezzbug and Terrafish (both 2017)—that engage with and virtually enhance the museum’s building. In Terrafish, Grodin overlaps PAMM’s hanging gardens on the waterfront terrace with the translucent body of a digital species she created, which is suggestive of nonnative jellyfish found in South Florida waters. By drawing on the destructive impact of invasive species and creating a new digital environment, Grodin highlights the transformative and unstable state of our ecosystem, speculating about a not-so-distant future affected by climate change and overtaken by uncanny creatures.
Felice Grodin: Invasive Species is an augmented reality exhibition that can be viewed via the PAMM App which is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or iPad. iOS 11.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, iPad Pro, and newer.

Relational Undercurrents
Relational Undercurrents is the first major survey of twenty-first century art of the Caribbean. The archipelago serves as an analytical framework, focusing on thematic continuities in the art of the Caribbean islands. Relational Undercurrents works against traditional understandings of the Caribbean as discontinuous—isolated and beyond comprehension as a result of heterogeneous populations, multiple linguistic traditions, and diverse colonial histories. The exhibition is divided into four sections: Conceptual Mappings, Perpetual Horizons, Landscape Ecologies, and Representational Acts. Each grouping features artists whose works have informed and shaped those themes. Relational Undercurrents includes painting, installation art, sculpture, photography, video, and performance.

The accompanying catalogue 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 catalogue is coedited by Tatiana Flores and Michelle Ann Stephens, Professor of English and Latino and Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.

The Exile Experience: A Journey to Freedom
The Exile Experience: Journey to Freedom is a pictorial account of the struggles that the Cuban exile community has endured since Fidel Castro's rise to power, and the successes they have achieved in the United States. Having covered the Cuban exile community and its struggle for freedom extensively throughout the years, Miami Dade College and The Miami Herald Media Company now present this journalistic chronology, which showcases the spirit and accomplishments of the Cuban American community. The permanent exhibition is housed at the College’s National Historic Landmark Freedom Tower, itself central to the story of Cubans in the United States.
Show more >>
MDC’s Freedom Tower was operated by the U.S. Government as a reception center for Cuban refugees from 1962 to 1974. “The building is significant because it represents the important story of the Cuban exodus to America and resettlement during the Cold War,” reports the U.S. Department of the Interior, which has also called the Freedom Tower the “Ellis Island of the South.” Though it operated in that capacity for only 12 years, the building has become an icon representing the faith that democracy brought to troubled lives, the generosity of the American people and a hopeful beginning that assured thousands a new life in a new land.

The Writing on the Wall
Hank Willis Thomas and Dr. Baz Dreisinger
A collaborative installation, The Writing on the Wall: Hank Willis Thomas and Dr. Baz Dreisinger presents essays, poems, letters, stories, diagrams, and notes written by individuals in prison around the world, from the United States and Australia to Brazil, Norway and Uganda. During her years teaching in US and international prisons, Professor Dreisinger actively collected the hand-written and typed pieces.
Show more >>
The Writing on the Wall calls attention to the prison crisis in the United States as well as the Western modern prison system, which has spread across the globe. Just as mass incarceration is a growing global phenomenon, The Writing on the Wall constantly evolves and shifts focus based on the material written by those living behind bars in prisons around the world.
This exhibition is a part of the For Freedoms initiative founded by artists Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman. For Freedoms is a platform for civic engagement, discourse, and direct action for artists in the United States. Inspired by artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century.
We are grateful to members of the Frost Art Museum for their support of this exhibition. The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU receives ongoing support from the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture and the State of Florida.

of LAAP.This exhibit addresses broad and complicated issues that affect
the social life, the philosophical world and the religious aspect of human
beings. Through each artist's vision, viewers are introduced to various
religious expressions, scenes and interpretations. The result is a great mosaic
of faith that although its rituals are specific to each of the religious
beliefs, they all point towards the same goal.The works on display include photographs from many of the
artists' travels and feature the baobab tree in Africa, the Naga in Cambodia,
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, men in prayer by the Wailing
Wall in Israel and Cashmere Muslim women. There are also collaborations between
artists from different hemispheres, which reflect the true spirit of the
collection."This is a fascinating tour of the world's major religious and
cultures," said Phyllis Korab, Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department
director. "Through these captured moments in time, we become intimately aware
of the beliefs and conditions that define the social and philosophical
development of the individual."Featured artists include Luis Castaneda, Carlos Bueno, Ivonette
Leite, Mila Mori, Pamella Herpio, Vilma Volcanes, Marta Cabane-Navarro, Luis

AfriCOBRA Collective at MOCA
Nov 25, 2018 to Apr 6, 2019 - various times - English
The Museum of
Contemporary Art North Miami will present a groundbreaking exhibition
celebrating the Chicago-based AfriCOBRA collective, in conjunction
with the group’s 50th anniversary. In 1968,
artists Jeff Donaldson, Jae Jarrell, Wadsworth Jarrell, Barbara
Jones-Hogu, and Gerald Williams founded AfriCOBRA, which stands
for African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists. AfriCOBRA’s visual language
is defined by the use of text, bright "Cool-Aid"
colors, dynamic, gestural markings, and raw, emotive, celebratory
images of confident black figures. The vision these artists created went
on to define the aesthetic of the Black Arts Movement. This
historic exhibition will explore the founders’ individual careers, as well
as AfriCOBRA’s philosophy and the impact of the group’s work
on subsequent generations.
The
exhibition will run from November 25,
2018 – April 7, 2019. Art Basel
Miami Beach will take place from December. 6–9, 2018. Artist reception to be

The Art of Banksy Exhibition is Coming to Miami!
Dec 1, 2018 to Feb 24, 2019 - from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM - English
Miami will welcome the US premiere of
“The Art of Banksy,” an acclaimed showcase featuring 80 original
works created by, arguably, the most intriguing and talked about
artist in modern history. “The Art of Banksy” has already
generated excitement in Melbourne, Tel Aviv, Auckland and most
recently in Toronto. Now Miami will host this spectacular exhibit in
Magic City Studios, a part of the newly imagined Magic City Innovation
District (MCID) in the Little Haiti neighborhood.
Show more >>
Banksy,
whose identity is the art world’s biggest secret, is an enigmatic
artist and world-recognized political activist. His
graffiti-influenced stencil technique, often combined with
anti-establishment slogans, is immediately recognizable and never
fails to generate attention.
The
Art of Banksy,” curated by Steve Lazarides, the artist’s former
agent, displays the world’s largest collection of Banksy’s works
and only features pieces that were created by Banksy for private art
collectors. The collection offers original paintings, prints,
sculptures and rarely seen pieces. Included in the exhibition is the
iconic “Balloon Girl” piece, which was ranked in 2017 as “The
United Kingdom’s number one favorite artwork,” the “Flag
Wall,” an urbanized take on the famous picture of soldiers raising
the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima, and many other pieces, no less compelling
and equally thought-provoking.
There
is no reason why there shouldn’t be a Banksy hanging in every single
major contemporary art museum in the world. He is the most powerful
recognized artist of a generation that’s been completely ignored by
the establishment thus far. I’m proud that together with the
collectors we have been able to assemble this collection now being
presented in Miami,” says Steve Lazarides.
The
Miami exhibit will be mounted in Magic City Studios at 6301 NE 4th
Ave, in an area within Little Haiti known as Miami’s Magic City
Innovation District. This prestigious exhibition of originals – all
privately owned by collectors – offers a rare opportunity for South
Florida to enter Banksy’s world. The 20,000 square foot raw
warehouse space was specifically chosen as it resembles spaces where
Banksy and Steve Lazarides previously mounted shows together.
Miami,
with its thriving visual arts scene, is for us, the perfect city to
premiere ‘The Art of Banksy’ in the US,” says Michel Boersma,
Senior Vice President Family Entertainment & Theatre, Live Nation.
“Together with Steve Lazarides, we have been able to assemble the
largest collection of Banksy art ever exhibited, from collectors all
over the world, which is fitting for a world-class city like
Miami.
We
couldn’t be any happier to host this incredible show at Magic
City,” said Tony Cho, an MCID founding partner and CEO of Metro 1,
the commercial brokerage leading leasing for the project. “This is
one more example of the type of world-class art exhibitions and
cultural alignments Magic City will bring to the Little Haiti
neighborhood. We’re confident this will not only make the
neighborhood an international destination, but also create vast
opportunities for local businesses and residents.
To
celebrate the opening of “The Art of Banksy” in Miami, the
exhibition is partnering with the Magic City Innovation District
Foundation and local community organizations, to give away 50,000
tickets to local children.
A
showcase of this caliber will serve as a unique and accessible
educational opportunity for over 50,000 local students,” said Miami
Mayor Francis Suarez. “It not only speaks to Miami’s position as a
world-class arts and culture destination, but it will also inject life
into Little Haiti, giving our residents the chance to benefit
educationally in one of our emerging neighborhoods focused on art and
innovation.
Worldwide
demand for “The Art of Banksy” is off-the-charts. Consequently,
the exhibit is scheduled to be in Miami for a limited time only. Citi
is the official pre-sale credit card of “The Art of Banksy”
exhibit. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase
pre-sale tickets beginning Tuesday, October 23 at 10AM EST

Artist and Floridian Karishma Naran
Dec 6, 2018 to Dec 9, 2018 - various times - English
To Debut Striking Multi-Media Work at Spectrum Miami 2018 as Rising Star
Daytona Beach, Florida-based artist Karishma Naran is poised to take Miami Art Week by storm, showing her new multi-media works at Spectrum Miami as one of their specially selected Rising Artists.
Show more >>
Growing up, the now-33-year old Naran never felt at home no matter where she resided. She explores her diverse background and her upbringing as a Bombay-born, California-raised youth with Indian parents in her depictions, which also speak to a newfound confidence in her sense of self.
Her works are united by their use of different media—incorporating photography colored with watercolor, ink, or acrylic and embellished with materials such as glass, paper collage, and resin. Modern-day ruminations on the multicultural identity of the artist, the works first read as cryptic dreamscapes but layers of meaning soon unfold.
In several works, the artist appropriates imagery of women in the Indian community that she has encountered through social media, layering the works with painting in hues both muted and vibrant. The figures function as muses to the artist, embodying positivity, community, and cultural awareness.
Of I AM Naran notes, “It symbolizes that regardless of what anyone says around you, all that matters is that you know who you are.” In other works, unicorns take center-stage. “The unicorn represents the dream of making it in this country,” explains the artist, noting that those canvases with two unicorns portray a cultural divide and Naran’s sense of confusion over where she belongs.
About the Artist:
Inspired by the eloquent and lively music of the 1960’s and its efficacious voice for Cultural Revolution, and her own heritage as a Bombay-born transplant to America, Karishma, best known as Kavi, began her artistic career in 2003 as a California teenager.
In 2017, she decided she was ready to share her creative vision and start telling her story. Now at 33-years old, she has developed a distinctive style that involves a multi-layered approach, giving her the ability to encapsulate political phrases and poetry into each of her stunning pieces. Her mixed-media art is unpredictable and possesses its own energy. Kavi’s dedication and talent have allowed her to excel as an artist, creating pieces that have generated great interest among collectors and gallerists alike.
Kavi lives in Daytona Beach, Florida with her husband and two children.

Each year since 2004, the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum has welcomed guests to enjoy a complimentary breakfast, a lecture by a noted sculptor, and guided tours of our Sculpture Park and exhibitions. This event is free and open to the public.
This year, Elizabeth Turk, internationally acclaimed sculptor and MacArthur Fellow will be our featured speaker. Turk is known for transforming her signature medium of marble into strikingly intricate objects that defy convention and challenge our preconceptions of what marble can do. Turk pushes her medium to its limit, creating in each sculpture a provocative tension between the intrinsic strength of the stone and its inherent fragility, while speaking to larger conceptual and spiritual concerns of time, matter, and space. Turk earned her MFA at the Rinehart School of Sculpture, Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. She is the recipient of numerous prestigious national awards, including a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2010), a Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation Fellowship (2010), and a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2011).

The strong emotional bond that he held over those who loved him translated into an experimental visual language that defied pictorial conventions.
