I am truly honored to serve as South Florida’s Ambassador for the Arts.
The arts enrich our lives in every way. Whether it is through the beauty of a painting or sculpture, the complex melodies of an opera, the drama of a play,
the joy of a musical or the grace of the ballet, the arts inspire us, challenge us and elevate our daily lives.
South Florida’s rich cultural tapestry offers endless opportunities to experience and support the Arts. I encourage everyone to take advantage of these opportunities, which include everything from the Miami Ballet and Art Basel, to the Palm Beach Opera and any number of theatrical venues throughout the area.

THE BASS MUSEUM was founded in 1963 through the donation of a private collection of Renaissance and Baroque works of art to the City of Miami Beach by John and Johanna Bass. The founding collection consisted of 500 works, primarily European Old Master paintings, important textiles, and religious sculptures. Today, the museum houses over 3,000 works, including European painting and sculpture from the 15th century to the present; 7th to 20th-century textiles, tapestries, and ecclesiastical vestments and artifacts; 20th- and 21st-century North American, Latin American, Asian, and Caribbean art; photographs, prints, and drawings; and modern and contemporary architecture and design with emphasis on the pre- and post-war design history of Miami Beach. In June 2015 the museum will begin an internal expansion working with design team Arata Isozaki Design Consultant and David Gauld Architect on an improved and functional design that will provide 47 percent more programmable space within the museum’s same building footprint. This will enhance the museum’s commitment to its exhibition and education programming in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Curated by internationally renowned cultural agitator and curator Jérôme Sans, the exhibition explores the interplay between
Marino’s iconic architectural designs, his personal collection of contemporary art, and his series of cast-bronze boxes. True to the architect’s practice of creating bespoke environments at the intersection of art, design, and fashion, One Way: Peter Marino will feature commissioned new work by artists Gregor Hildebrandt, Guy Limone, Farhad Moshiri, Jean-Michel Othoniel, and Erwin Wurm.

DEEPLY ROOTED IN the history of its city, the Boca Museum of Art exemplifies the cultural impact and “ripple effect” of the arts in small towns across America. As “The Official Fine Arts Museum for the City of Boca Raton,” the Museum plays a key role in enhancing the cultural, educational, and economic vitality of Boca Raton and its surrounding communities, and has maintained the reputation of being one of South Florida’s leading cultural institutions, attracting more than 200,000 visitors annually to its galleries and programs.
A NEW PATH: TWO INSTALLATIONS IN THE COLONNADENOVEMBER 1, 2014 – ONGOINGTHIS COLOR IS GREAT by RENATA STIH and FRIEDER SCHNOCK
STIH & SCHNOCK are Berlin-based visual artists who introduce art in public spaces thereby affecting everyday life. In this work, the artists have used the common expression of a woman’s lips and what she might be saying in contrast to what she is actually thinking. This is the first in a series of artist-commissioned banners along the Amphitheater colonnade that dramatically changes a familiar path as the visitor approaches the Museum.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS by ROBERTO BEHAR and ROSARIO MARQUARDT
BEHAR AND MARQUARDT, who established R&R Studios in Miami, have a multidisciplinary architectural practice weaving together visual arts, exhibition design, architecture, and urban design. They have been commissioned to rethink the entry into the Museum along the colonnade, providing a new pathway that is at once intimate and monumental. Their installation incorporates multi-colored ribbons in the interior gallery windows, draping the space making it both public and private by way of the sensual sway of vivid colors.
IZHAR PATKIN: THE WANDERING VEILJANUARY 26 – APRIL 5, 2015
THIS SURVEY OF WORKS by the Israeli-born, New York based artist, Izhar Patkin, will fill the Museum’s main gallery space with spectacular mural-size paintings on tulle fabric, entitled Veiled Threats. Grand, labyrinthine, yet surprisingly intimate, The Wandering Veil is resplendent with personal narrative, political metaphor, and myth emphasizing memory, loss, love, and exile.

HELENA RUBINSTEIN: BEAUTY IS POWERAPRIL 21 – JULY 12, 2015
HELENA RUBINSTEIN (1872–1965) was born in Poland and immigrated – via Austria and Paris – to New York at the beginning of World War I. She then opened her first U.S. salon featuring her face cream made from lanolin and revolutionized the cosmetics industry. She sold her corporation to Lehman Brothers in 1928, but repurchased the stock and went on to open her acclaimed spa on Fifth Avenue along with salons across the country, and the manufacturing arm. A collector of people and art, she commissioned Salvador Dalí to design packaging for her compacts and to paint her portrait. He was not the only one to paint Ms. Rubinstein, and this show includes portraits by Picasso, Man Ray, and Warhol. Included are paintings by Miró and Chagall, and selections from her fine jewelry and couture clothing collections. Rubinstein was an extraordinary collector of African art, which is featured here along with many of the Ellie Nadelman sculptures that she acquired. Photographs of her residences in New York, Paris, and London, and her

AMERICA’S SEVENTH OLDEST opera company was founded as The Opera Guild of Greater Miami (later known as Greater Miami Opera Association) in 1941 by Arturo di Filippi, an accomplished tenor and voice teacher at the University of Miami. In 1945, The Opera Guild, Inc., of Fort Lauderdale was founded with the mission of presenting performances of Opera Guild of Greater Miami productions in Fort Lauderdale. The relationship continued until 1994 when the two companies merged to form Florida Grand Opera.

WHEN IT WAS completed in 1902, the New York Herald proclaimed that Whitehall, Henry Flagler’s Gilded Age estate in Palm Beach, was “more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world.” Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, changing exhibits, and special programs. The Mission of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum is to preserve, research, and interpret Whitehall, its associated collections, and materials related to the life of Henry Morrison Flagler as unique and important elements of Florida’s history and America’s Gilded Age. We encourage you to discover the Gilded Age (one of the most fascinating times in American History), and the entrepreneur who modernized the business world and developed Florida into a vacation paradise with a strong economic foundation.

FRENCH ACADEMIC PAINTER William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905) is widely admired for his delicate figure studies that capture even the most subtle human emotions. Immensely popular in both Europe and America during his lifetime, Bouguereau became one of the most prolific and influential artists of the nineteenth century, and is today widely recognized as one of the art world’s great painters. Bouguereau’s ‘Fancies’ will feature nineteen mythological and allegorical paintings and

drawings spanning the artist’s entire career, in addition to period reproductions of his works in print, porcelain, marble, and bronze. Bouguereau’s works embody values such as equality, charity, and respect for the humanity and dignity of mankind. Some of his most popular works depict noble peasants, particularly young women and children. His paintings are more than just exacting figure studies however; Bouguereau sought to convey intense emotion and meaning through his figures.

MCB CELEBRATES CHOREOGRAPHERS who have taken ballet in new, unexpected directions – including a World Premiere by Justin Peck with original art design by celebrated visual artist Shepard Fairey, George Balanchine’s Raymonda Variations, and Jerome Robbins’ comedic masterpiece The Concert. In the creation of his masterwork Raymonda Variations, George Balanchine cast aside the original ballet’s complicated plotlines, bringing the joyous dancing centerstage in unison with Glazunov’s magnificent score. Jerome Robbins’ The Concert (or, The Perils of Everybody) is one of the great comic ballets, a surprising and lighthearted exploration of human relationships – and the tricks the mind can play while enjoying the
simple joys of a Chopin sonata. And in an unprecedented world premiere, ballet and guerrilla
“street art” collide as choreographer Justin Peck and visual artist Shepard Fairey join forces for Heatscape, an entirely new exploration of movement, music, costuming and art design.

THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART (MOCA) opened its state-of-the-art building to the public in February 1996. The 23,000 square foot structure was designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Charles Gwathmey of Gwathmey Siegel, New York, who worked in conjunction with the Miami firm of Gelabert-Navia to create an exquisite space in which to experience art. The Museum of Contemporary Art expanded from the original Center of Contemporary Art, which was inaugurated in 1981 in a modest single gallery space. The museum is a site for discovering new artists, contemplating the work of contemporary masters, and learning about our living cultural heritage. The Museum of Contemporary Art is known for its provocative and innovative exhibitions, and for seeking a fresh approach in examining the art of our time. The museum maintains an active exhibition schedule, presenting 8 to 10 exhibitions annually.

SHIFTING THE PARADIGM: THE ART OF GEORGE EDOZIEDECEMBER 2, 2014 – FEBRUARY 2, 2015
THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, North Miami (MOCA), South Florida’s oldest and only museum dedicated exclusively to contemporary art, will kick off Art Basel week in Miami with a thought provoking exhibition featuring contemporary artist, George Edozie. The show, Shifting the Paradigm is designed to tear down aging but still prevalent concepts surrounding the creation, consumption, and interpretation of contemporary. For curator Pr. Nzegwu, “through form, color, design consciousness, and containment, artistic endeavor unleashes the embodied powers of life to dissolve blockages and remake reality.” While George Edozie is not an expressionist, he shares a good number of the formal characteristics of the “fauvist” and “post-impressionist” painters at the turn of the 20th century: Cézanne, Matisse, Gauguin, Van Gogh. In different ways, these artists went beyond the manner in which impressionism focused on reproducing the impression caused by the physical world.

THE NORTON MUSEUM OF ART was founded in 1941 by Ralph Hubbard Norton (1875–1953) and his wife, Elizabeth Calhoun Norton (1881–1947). The Nortons were actively interested in fine arts and developed a sizable collection of paintings and sculpture.An industrialist who headed the Acme Steel Company in Chicago, Mr. Norton retired in 1939 to make his permanent home in West Palm Beach, Florida. Upon moving south, the Nortons decided to share their collection with the public. The Museum Collection consists of 7,000 works of art concentrated in the following departments: European, American, Chinese, Contemporary, and Photography.

PASTURES GREEN: THE BRITISH PASSION FOR LANDSCAPEDECEMBER 23, 2014 – APRIL 5, 2015
DRAWN FROM THE remarkable collections of the National Museum Wales, the exhibition includes approximately 65 works by renowned artists such as Claude Lorrain, Salvador Rosa, Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Wright of Derby, JMW Turner, John Constable, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Augustus John, Graham Sutherland, John Piper, and Richard Long. Audiences will be afforded a rare opportunity to follow the rise of landscape painting in Britain as the exhibition tells a story that runs from the Industrial Revolution through the eras of Romanticism, Impressionism, and Modernism, to the Postmodern and Post-Industrial imagery of today. The exhibition will also offer new insights into the cultural history of Britain and the history of art generally.
KLARA KRISTALOVA: TURNING INTO STONEDECEMBER 2, 2014 – MARCH 29, 2015
PORCELAIN SCULPTURE AND drawings by the Sweden-based artist Klara Kristalova (b. 1967, Czechoslovakia) comprise the fourth RAW exhibition, a series dedicated to supporting women artists through the generosity of the Leonard and Sophie Davis/ML Dauray Arts Initiative. Hovering between fiction and reality, Kristalova gives form to abstract ideas evolving from memories and observations of the human condition. Her expressive characters are both seductive and disarming, reflecting the poignant and sometimes harsh events that make up our lives.

COMING INTO FASHION: A CENTURY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AT CONDÉ NASTNOVEMBER 20, 2014 – FEBRUARY 15, 2015
INCORPORATING SOME 150 images created by 80 of the world’s most renowned fashion photographers, the exhibition showcases nearly 100 years of fashion imagery from the venerable publishing group’s titles, including Vogue, Glamour, and W. The exhibition features a selection of the work of Baron Adolph de Meyer, widely considered the first fashion photographer. In 1913, Condé Nast hired him in New York as a full-time photographer for Vogue, then Vanity Fair. Illustrating how fashion photography has evolved since de Meyer’s days, both in terms of subject matter and technique, the exhibition presents the work of Edward Steichen, Irving Penn, William Klein, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, and Miles Aldridge, among others.
MASTER PRINTS: DÜRER TO MATISSENOVEMBER 6, 2014 – FEBRUARY 15, 2015
THIS EXHIBITION SHOWCASES 40 astonishing, museum-quality works on paper. Including woodcuts, etchings, engravings, and lithographs, the exhibition spans a period of 500 years. Works by old masters Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, and Canaletto will be displayed alongside those by modern masters such as Degas, Matisse, Picasso, and Cézanne. The installation will be accompanied by a video demonstrating the engraving process, and explanatory texts describing the role prints held in society before the advent of photography.
PICASSO’S MUSESNOVEMBER 6, 2014 – FEBRUARY 15, 2015

created Picasso’s Muses, on view Nov. 6, 2014 – Feb. 15, 2015. The artist drew inspiration from many sources during his long life and career, including French café society, the struggling poor, live models, and especially girlfriends and mistresses – which Picasso’s Muses illustrates. “Picasso returns again and again to his female companions as a source of pictorial and sculptural inspiration,” explains Jerry Dobrick, Curatorial Associate for European Art. The centerpiece of this boutique exhibition is Woman with Wrist Watch, from 1932, a monumental work inspired by Marie-Thérèse Walter, with whom Picasso was in a relationship at the time. Also in the exhibition is another work from the Tête de femme series, as well as works from the Museum Collection.
NEW LOBBY INSTALLATION BY TERRY HAGGERTYSEPTEMBER 23, 2014 – SEPTEMBER 3, 2015
THE FOURTH SITE-SPECIFIC artwork for the Norton Museum lobby is being created by Terry Haggerty (b.1970, British). Working in the tradition of geometric abstraction, Haggerty’s vocabulary for his paintings and large installations for both private and public institutions emphasizes a restricted palette, creating a sense of depth through lines in a single color of varying widths in a repeated pattern. Haggerty is composing a work inspired by the unusual dimensions of the Norton Museum Lobby, expanding beyond the North wall to include several walls and, perhaps, part of the ceiling.

THE DISTINGUISHED AND distinctive art collection of New York and West Palm Beach resident and generous patron of the arts Beth Rudin DeWoody will be celebrated at the Norton Museum in Spring 2015. Well-known internationally for her knowledgeable choices and awareness of the new and emerging genres of art and artists, her passion for collecting has never subsided since acquiring her first drawing in the 1960s. With a collection that is still very much in progress, this exhibition will reflect areas of emphasis over the four decades she has been seriously engaged in looking at art. It will also reveal her connoisseurship and openness to new ideas.

PHOTOGRAPHY HAS PLAYED an important role in the construction of the myth and reality of the Everglades. Imaging Eden presents an overview of the medium’s historic complicity as silent witness, pre-meditated booster, and passionate advocate of this unique environment, and also showcases commissioned work by five international contemporary artists, including Gerald Slota (USA), Jungjin Lee (Korea), Bert Teunissen (the Netherlands), and Jim Goldberg and Jordan Stein (USA), whose
practice is photo-based. Each artist will be asked to respond to and expand beyond the physical, ideological, and aesthetic boundaries of the Everglades in their own, unique way. The exhibition will provide fertile ground for future conversations about one of the most unique, contested, and vital landscapes on the planet.

THE PALM BEACH SYMPHONY was founded in 1974 in recognition of the need for a professional orchestra in Palm Beach. The orchestra had a humble beginning, with only a few concerts a year, a part-time conductor, and a volunteer staff. It was not until Mrs. Ethel S. Stone became Chair of the Symphony’s Board of Directors that the orchestra became a cultural force in the community. The Palm Beach Symphony performs in a variety of historically important venues on the island of Palm Beach, including the Bethesda-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church, the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Mar-a-Lago, and The Society of the Four Arts.

FUTURE BROWN: VERNÁCULO FEATURING MALUCAONGOING
VERNÁCULO COMES FROM Future Brown's debut album on Warp Records slated for release February 23/24, 2015. Appropriating the advertising language of global beauty brands like L’Oreal and Revlon, “Vernáculo” is an exercise in capitalist surrealism. The video first debuted live at the museum’s official Art Basel Miami Beach celebration, PAMM Presents Future Brown featuring Kelela, A DIS Magazine + THV Entertainment Production.
IN THE SCULPTURE GARDEN: JEDD NOVATTONGOING
BY THE EARLY 1970s, works of minimalism had come to dominate the landscape of public sculpture in the United States. Characterized by reductive, geometric forms fabricated in raw industrial materials like Corten steel and aluminum, its ideal products represent an exploration of the essential nature of sculptural practice and experience, engaging viewers in a carefully organized phenomenology of volume, weight, mass, and theatricalized viewing space. For the last decade, Paris-based American artist Jedd Novatt has been employing and manipulating key minimalist visual and material tropes – the cube, unyielding medium, towering scale – in order to evolve the now long-stalled project beyond its traditional static and reflexive nature. Chaos Bizkaia (2012, bronze) and Chaos SAS (2013, stainless steel) – twisting, slipping, seemingly unstable stacks of monumental open rectangles – activate the lush tropical landscape of PAMM’s new sculpture garden with implied motion.
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMSAUGUST 19, 2014 – AUGUST 15, 2015
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS is the second iteration of Pérez Art Museum Miami’s Overview Galleries, in which selections from PAMM’s permanent collection are displayed alongside loans from important private collections. Consisting of six interrelated parts (titled History Painting, Visual Memory, The Uses of
Pérez Art Museum Miami
www.GuidefortheArts.com 73
History, Urban Imaginaries, The Contested Present, and Forms of Commemoration), this thematic group presentation explores the intersection between globalization and history. As the networks
of individuals, institutions, and markets that constitute the international system of art-making and distribution have expanded to include voices from disparate regions and contexts, the
field has become a mirror for the cultural effects of this heightened state of global integration.
One of the most important of these cultural effects has been the destabilization of any singular understandings of time and world history. Global Positioning Systems explores this issue by bringing together the productions of an international and intergenerational array of artists who engage diverse histories, while raising questions about how the past is recorded and remembered.
PROJECT GALLERY: LEONOR ANTUNESAUGUST 21, 2014 – JANUARY 18, 2015
BERLIN-BASED ARTIST Leonor Antunes (b. 1972) produced a new, large-scale installation for the Project Gallery off the entrance area of the museum. The artist visited Miami several times to research the architecture and design history of the city, which influenced the production of her work for PAMM. Antunes’s work often references the legacies of modernism, specific geometric forms, and the patterns and structures of lesser known architects and designers from the early 20th century. Antunes is particularly attentive to the elegance of the handmade, using materials and

techniques that often reference the distinct contexts in which she works, including those of her native Portugal. Her works respond to the spaces in which they are placed, at times mirroring elements in the room or using its proportions as tools for the development of each new installation.
BEYOND THE LIMITED LIFE OF PAINTING: PRINTS AND MULTIPLES FROM THE HOLDING CAPITAL GROUP COLLECTIONSEPTEMBER 10, 2014 – MARCH 1, 2015
THE EXHIBITION WILL explore the evolution of fine printmaking in the United States after the 1960s and feature several important prints and multiples gifted to Pérez Art Museum Miami from Holding Capital Group Inc., including works by Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, and James Rosenquist. These works will be augmented by additional prints and objects loaned from the Holding Capital Group collection, which has been carefully assembled over the last 30 years and illuminates the significance of printmaking within the contemporary art context. Beyond the Limited Life of Painting will examine more than 50 years of printmaking, tracing its historic importance to public debates in the 1930s and 1940s to its emergence as a valued artistic medium in the Pop art movement of the 1950s and 1960s and through to its role in today’s creative production. The exhibition focuses in particular on the generation of artists in the postwar period, who rejected Abstract Expressionism and actively returned to representation.
PROJECT GALLERY: NICOLE CHERUBINIOCTOBER 9, 2014 – APRIL 5, 2015
FOR PÉREZ ART MUSEUM Miami's Project Gallery series, Nicole Cherubini (b. 1970, Boston) is creating a new body of interrelated, free-standing, and wall-based works. Comprised of a diversity of objects, this exhibition will respond to the architecture of the space and expand on the artist’s previous bodies of work. The installation will incorporate new shapes into the artist’s lexicon and new materials, combining clay and wooden support panels that allow for a renewed consideration of scale. Cherubini mines the

history and formal possibilities of clay to create works that range from spare, tense minimalism to exuberant and brash decadence. Cherubini’s work is indebted to an abiding engagement with clay itself, and the core of her project resides in her ability to bring the medium’s particular materiality, forms, and history to bear on the ongoing dialogue of painting and sculpture.
IN THE SCULPTURE GARDEN: KONSTANTIN GRCICNOVEMBER 20, 2014 – OCTOBER 1, 2015
PAMM WILL INSTALL two major interactive pieces from past Design Miami/ fairs, on the occasion of Design Miami’s 10th Anniversary. The first of these installations is Konstantin Grcic’s Netscape, which was commissioned for the design fair as part of his Designer of the Year award in 2010. Design Miami/ founder, Craig Robins commissioned distinct versions of Netscape for both the Miami Design District and for PAMM, with the museum’s new, waterfront facility in mind. This will be the first time it has been displayed since its 2010 debut at Design Miami/. Netscape features a star-shaped, modular steel structure, with hammock-like swings made of fiberglass and polypropylene netting which rock gently when used by visitors. Like the design for the new museum, Netscape was created with social interaction in mind, and will be placed at the museum’s northeast corner, overlooking Biscayne Bay.

The second, Buckminster Fuller’s 24-foot Fly’s Eye Dome, was featured at Design Miami/ 2011 as a satellite exhibition in collaboration with the Miami Design District. Fly’s Eye Dome, which was a prototype of Buckminster Fuller’s original design for a fully functional, air-deployable, off-the-grid temporary dwelling, was originally presented as a Design Miami/ satellite exhibition in the Miami Design District called Architecting the Future: Buckminster Fuller & Norman Foster. A long-time Fuller collector and enthusiast, Foster recreated Fuller’s futuristic Dymaxion Car and generously loaned Dymaxion 4 to be exhibited alongside the dome, which had been acquired and restored by Craig Robins. Buckminster Fuller was an artist, architect, and evolutionary strategist.
PROJECT GALLERY: GARY SIMMONSNOVEMBER 14, 2014 – OCTOBER 4, 2015
PÉREZ ART MUSEUM Miami has commissioned Gary Simmons (b.1964, New York) to create an ambitious new work for the museum’s stunning double-height project gallery. The New York-based artist will create a large, ephemeral mural painting directly on the gallery’s back wall, which measures 30 feet high by 29 feet wide. Simmons is best known for his enigmatic compositions that consist of deceptively simple motifs rendered atop broad fields of monochromatic pigment. He extracts these motifs from a variety of archival and pop culture sources, arriving at each selection through an intensive research process. A single work by Simmons is capable of evoking a multiplicity of meanings, referencing a buried episode in the painful history of race relations in the United States, for example, at the same time that it draws from the artist’s childhood memories. Simmons is known for his use of an eerie erasure effect, which he achieves by blurring his drawings with his hands. Recalling the look of chalk on blackboards, the effect reinforces the mysterious quality of Simmons’s imagery, while

suggesting movement, the fleetingness of time, the pliability of history, and the inevitable fading of both cultural and personal memory.
GEOFFREY FARMER: LET’S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACKOCTOBER 9, 2014 – MARCH 1, 2015
FARMER (B.1967) IS best known for his work with collage and his references to the genre’s modernist traditions, such as those produced by Dada artists at the beginning of the 20th century. The artist has also created numerous theatrical installations involving odd combinations of found objects that he transforms into awkward, puppet-like figures. His recent sculptures and installations have included kinetic elements that are often choreographed with sound. These pieces become theater plays or small operas with uncanny objects as their main performers. Creating mysterious and, at times, sinister environments, the artist’s work responds dynamically to the architectural and cultural contexts in which it is produced.
ADLER GUERRIER: FORMULATING A PLOTAUGUST 7, 2014 – JANUARY 25, 2015
MIAMI-BASED ARTIST Adler Guerrier (b.1975) works in a variety of media, including sculpture, photography, prints, and collaged works on paper. Guerrier’s practice investigates of the mutability of text and image, and the variability of meaning. He is as interested in politics as he is in poetics, and his work explores

the rich territory between them. Often using Miami as a physical site and an embodiment of realized (and unrealized) moments in American political and social history, Guerrier examines, repurposes, and sometimes fictionalizes the city through his work. Guerrier’s oeuvre is expansive in its engagement with the urban environment, art history, and materials, and this exhibition will bring together a selection of work from the last decade of his career alongside new work produced for this presentation.
PROJECT GALLERY: MARIO GARCÍA TORRESDECEMBER 2, 2014 – APRIL 19, 2015
R.R. AND THE EXPANSION OF THE TROPICS is a project developed by Mexico City-based artist Mario García Torres (b.1975, Monclova, Mexico) specifically for Pérez Art Museum Miami in which a number of seemingly unrelated subjects, such as Robert Rauschenberg, climate change, and Florida, are threaded together to form
a series of conceptual and political questions. García Torres has long been
interested in exploring little-known issues within recent art history and in addressing parallel subjects that find new meanings and contexts through his careful juxtapositions. This project will create a number of gestures, including photographic documentation, film, music, and other types of information displays.

TÀPIES: FROM WITHINFEBRUARY 6 – MAY 3, 2015
TÀPIES: FROM WITHIN is a major historical survey that features a selection of more than 50 large-scale paintings and sculptures, representing diverse moments from throughout Antoni Tàpies’s (1923–2012) career. These include early examples from 1945 through to recent works created in 2011 – the year prior to his death. The exhibition explores the Spanish artist’s use of unusual materials and forms and the development of his unique visual language, which earned him an international reputation as one of the most successful abstract painters of his generation. Curated by former Tate Director Vincente Todolí, this retrospective offers a unique view into Tàpies’s groundbreaking practice, which fused impoverished materials with symbols of Eastern and Western culture to create dense works covered with graffiti-like gestures. His alchemical practice mixed spiritual and existential questions with unique material investigations of surface, mark-making, and found objects. The exhibition presents an intimate and unusual view of his oeuvre through a selection of works drawn exclusively from his own private collection and that of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies.
PROJECT GALLERY: DIEGO BIANCHIFEBRUARY 19 – JULY 26, 2015
INTERESTED IN EROSION, entropy, decadence, and destruction, Diego Bianchi (b.1969, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is producing a new large-scale installation for PAMM’s project gallery adjacent to the museum’s main entrance. Bianchi is known for his multi-part sculptural projects using found and manipulated materials, including defunct technologies or recently discarded commercial products, which reflects his interest in ideas of the unclean, the abject, and the wastefulness of contemporary commodity culture. With an underlying sense of loss and an unusual beauty, his dynamic assemblages involve binding, burning, or cementing together these worn objects, creating textured surfaces that dialogue with the work of Antoni Tàpies, concurrently on view at PAMM. His project for PAMM specifically engages elements that reference the cultural and material landscape of Miami.

VICTORIA GITMAN: DESIRING EYEFEBRUARY 26 – MAY 31, 2015
PÉREZ ART MUSEUM Miami presents a survey of the work of Victoria Gitman (b.1972, Buenos Aires; lives in Hallandale, FL). Gitman creates astonishingly naturalistic oil paintings
abounding with sensuality and conceptual sophistication.
The exhibition features 19 works drawn from four phases in the artist’s career, spanning 14 years of highly disciplined production. Set against shallow backgrounds of neutral color, Gitman’s depictions of necklaces, beaded purses, and fur purses make a powerful impact that belies their small scale and banal subject matter. The artist paints the images from items that she finds in thrift stores, flea markets, and online sources for vintage accessories. In Gitman’s hands, these inexpensive objects are transmuted into things of beauty, exuding luxury and refinement. Rendered from life (never from photographs), they emit the rich aura that one associates with still life paintings by the Old Masters. The exhibition culminates with Gitman’s stunning “Beauties” – a set of oil paintings on panel that reproduce graphite drawings on paper by the great French Neoclassical painter and draughtsman Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867). These diminutive portraits feature elegant young women whose haunting eyes

meet the viewer’s gaze dead on. The series provides a disarming counterpoint to Gitman’s still life paintings while underscoring the tensions that animate her work, in which decadence vies with restraint, humility with ostentation, tradition with contemporaneity, and precision with beauty.
EUGENIO ESPINOZA: UNRULY SUPPORTS (1970–1980)MARCH 19 – AUGUST 23, 2015
EUGENIO ESPINOZA: UNRULY SUPPORTS (1970–1980) features over 50 exceptional works including paintings, photographs, sculptures, postcards, and documentation of performances and interventions by Eugenio Espinoza (b.1950, Caracas, Venezuela). The exhibition focuses on his practice during the decade of the 1970s, highlighting Espinoza´s significance within the Latin American avant-garde of that period. Currently living in Florida, Espinoza is known for his nonfigurative, humorous, and irreverent manipulations of grid forms that he began developing in the late-1960s. These works were produced as a reaction to the dominant tendencies of geometric abstraction and Kinetic art in Venezuela during these decades. Unruly Supports (1970–1980) traces these seminal works, which include his large Impenetrable (1972) – an installation that subverted the modernist cannon, challenged Kinetic art, and engaged post-minimalist strategies – and explores Espinoza’s active involvement in the evolution of abstraction during the post-war period. The title of the exhibition refers to the countless experiments Espinoza made to produce his emblematic black grid supports, as he folded, stretched, and cut to this geometric form, contaminating this iconic symbol of modern art.
IMAN ISSAAPRIL 2 – OCTOBER 4, 2015
IMAN ISSA (b. 1979, Cairo, Egypt) explores the relationship between history, memory, language, and objects through multimedia works. Creating installations comprised of multiple related works, she questions the ability of sculpture and imagery to communicate concrete ideas. Issa’s large-scale projects have used three-dimensional forms and text to interrogate the validity of commemorative monuments in the face of shifting sociopolitical
Pérez Art Museum Miami
PALM BEACH – MIAMI82 guide for the arts 2015
landscapes, particularly in her native Egypt, and more recent projects investigate historical works of art through poetic descriptions and interpretative forms. Issa’s modest but beautifully crafted objects, short videos, snapshot-like photographs, and accompanying texts use language and juxtaposition to create ambiguous but resonant tableaux. For Pérez Art Museum Miami, she will present a recent project alongside a new commission.
PROJECT GALLERY: SHANA LUTKERMAY 7 – SEPTEMBER 13, 2015
SINCE 2012, SHANA LUTKER (b.1978, Northport, New York) has been researching the Surrealist movement. Among the
most important European avant-garde groups of the 20th century, the Surrealists explored the unconscious mind and creative expressions that were tied to the irrational. They were also, as revealed by Lutker’s research, prone to physical, public fights incited by intellectual arguments and personal slights. Lutker has identified seven fights that she is investigating through sculptural installations. She has realized two of these projects: the first one in three parts, including gallery presentations in Los Angeles and Zurich as well as a performance at Performa 13 in New York, and one as
part of the 2014 Whitney Biennial. For Pérez Art Museum Miami, Lutker will realize the third work in her series. Her installation will respond to the architecture of PAMM’s unique auditorium space. In addition to her newly commissioned artwork for the project gallery, Lutker will debut a performative lecture focused on the Surrealist fight she has been researching.
