PALM BEACH – MIAMI 2016
Ambassador to the Arts
Arts. Culture. Fashion. Commerce. Fantastic weather. Miami and Palm Beach have it all. Having grown up in Spain, traveled regularly for the past 20 years, and lived here since 2005, I find Miami to be one of the most exciting, multicultural, and innovative cities I’ve had the pleasure to experience. The arts, particularly music, are a multicultural bond, a universal language that connects us all, that transcends any barrier. Miami and Palm Beach are superlative examples of this, with all the various music and arts offerings each season. Despite its youth, Miami is a magnet of culture that absorbs and blends everything that comes into its path. Their ideal location puts both Miami and Palm Beach in contact with the best of its surroundings – North America, the Caribbean, and South America – allowing them to be among the most eclectic and multicultural cities in the world. Miami and Palm Beach mix all of this, creating through art and music one of the most unique communities in the world.

While the Bass is closed to the public as it undergoes renovations, the Lowe is hosting a selection of outstanding works from the Bass’s permanent collection. The focus of this important partnership is Northern Europe during the Renaissance and Baroque periods (15th to 17th centuries), and the pieces on view represent a range of media – including oil on canvas, tempera on panel, enamel on porcelain, and textiles – as well as a compelling array of subjects.

Fleury draws from elements of 20th-century art and consumer society to investigate the ideas of cultural desire. Her works explore the construction of identity and the absurdity of the quest for self-perfection.

Gobé’s new work is inspired by a scene from a 1919 Charlie Chaplin film depicting a comical attempt to assemble a simple beach chair. The installation, which will be created during the artist’s Fountainhead Residency in Miami, will use video, drawing, and kinetic sculpture to explore man’s tendency to imbue objects with human consciousness and a will of its own. Gobé was nominated for the prestigious 2015 IDF Prize for drawing awarded to emerging artists and his work was featured in the recent exhibition Le Fil Des Possibles (The thread of the possible) at the L’Espace de l’Art Concret in Toulouse, France.

Bursting with eclectic multicultural references, carnal sensuality, and an undercurrent of humor, his performances, videos, costumes, and photography portray a world where cultural identity is no longer determined by geographical origins, ancestry, or biological disposition, but is increasingly becoming a hybrid construct. Athi-Patra Ruga gained international attention through his performance series The Future White Women of Azania (2010–present), which features fantastical characters – usually played by the artist – whose upper bodies are engulfed by colorful, liquid-filled balloons, while their lower bodies are revealed in stockings and heels. ‘Azania’ is a reference to both classical Greek and Roman accounts of southern Africa and modern activists’ dreams of the pre- and post-apartheid black African utopia. Ruga will debut a new work for his bassX performance.

During a period of convalescence when he could not paint as he once was able to do, Sunshine delved into the digital world of art making and searched for subjects of style and substance. In doing so he was taken with notable women: their poise, their composure, and their self-assurance. Among those who have posed for

65TH ANNUAL ALL FLORIDA EXHIBITION JULY 16 – SEPTEMBER 25, 2016 THE BOCA RATON MUSEUM OF ART is now changing the format of All Florida from the juried exhibition, which has been presented here for 64 years. For 2016, the Museum’s Curatorial Department and Executive Director will collaborate with five nationally recognized artists based throughout Florida. Each of these distinguished artists will select five early-career artists who have strong ties to Florida. This invitational exhibition will bring the work of the “selection committee” alongside the work of the artists they believe show great promise RPM FALL 2016 THIS EXHIBITION WILL feature a site-specific installation by the artist collective, RPM. The 3 Miami-based artists – Rhonda Mitrani, Patricia Gutierrez, and Marina Font – will use their mixed media installation to comment on the canon of Western art history and its history of promoting European male artists while relegating women and non-Europeans to the status of subjects. As Cuban, American, and Argentinian artists, RPM brings a thoughtful, fresh, and edgy take on the seminal aspects of art we have come to revere. BIRTH OF MODERNISM IN BUDAPEST FALL 2016 THIS EXHIBITION OF art from Budapest includes 100 by Hungarian artists, including such figures as André Kertész and László Moholy-Nagy, and provides a fascinating microcosm of the social and political turmoil that was raging across Europe, from the late 19th century, through WWI and WWII to the collapse of the Soviet Era, giving rise to the birth of the avantgarde.

JOSE ALVAREZ: PORTRAITS FROM KROME DETENTION CENTER FALL 2016 JOSE ALVAREZ (D.O.P.A.) was detained in Krome Detention Center for identity theft for two months in 2012. During this time, he created a series of portraits of his fellow detainees using ballpoint pens and whatever paper he could find. The portraits not only capture the physical being of his sitters, but also their stories. This exhibition will mark the debut of these powerful, intimate portraits and emotional stories. A NEW PATH – TWO INSTALLATIONS IN THE COLONNADE: THIS COLOR IS GREAT BY STIH & SCHNOCK / THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS BY BEHAR & MARQUARDT ONGOING STIH AND 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 artistcommissioned banners along the Amphitheater colonnade that dramatically changes a familiar path as the visitor approaches the Museum. 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.

There’s no fool like an old fool, particularly when it comes to love and money. Don Pasquale, worried that his wealth will be squandered by his scheming nephew Ernesto, sets out to find himself a wife. Unhappy that his nephew wishes to do the same, he orders Ernesto, who lives with him, to clear out, which complicates Ernesto’s plans to marry his beloved Norina. Don Pasquale, having no particular woman in mind, is quickly infatuated with a charming lady his friend Dr. Malatesta introduces as his convent-educated sister. It is in fact Norina in disguise, and as soon as the pretend marriage takes place, she becomes Pasquale’s worst nightmare.

Set to Philip Glass’s driving postmodern score, Twyla Tharp’s signature work, In The Upper Room, deftly fuses seemingly divergent dance aesthetics. Modern dance’s forceful energy is juxtaposed with the finesse of the classical tradition, both fiercely surging towards a spectacular climax.

As a celebration of our landmark 30th anniversary season, MCB will present an innovative reimagining of George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Balanchine’s first wholly original full-length ballet crafted in America, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, first debuted in 1962 – embodying Shakespeare’s timeless tale of love and magic, reality and illusion. Balanchine waited nearly 20 years to create this ballet, as he searched earnestly for music that would embody the production he imagined – weaving together Felix Mendelssohn’s Opus 61 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with other works from the composer’s oeuvre to create the full score. Join us as we unveil a new interpretation of the Balanchine/Shakespeare/ Mendelssohn masterpiece from a perspective that is uniquely Miami. Featuring creative collaboration by two internationally acclaimed artists: Michele Oka Doner for original costumes and sets and Tarell Alvin McCraney for dramatic direction.

THIS PLACE: ISRAEL AND THE WEST BANK THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY’S LENS OCTOBER 15, 2015 – JANUARY 17, 2016 THE NORTON MUSEUM OF ART is the first U.S. venue to host This Place, an international photo exhibition that explores the complexity of Israel and the West Bank. While acknowledging and paying heed to the region’s conflicts, This Place asks that we look beyond this – that we widen and multiply our lens. It unveils a dozen contemporary photographic viewpoints of Israel and the West Bank, created primarily between 2009 and 2012 by Frédéric Brenner (France), Wendy Ewald (United States), Martin Kollar (Slovakia), Josef Koudelka (Czech Republic), Jungjin Lee (S. Korea), Gilles Peress (France), Fazal Sheikh (United States), Stephen Shore (United States), Rosalind Fox Solomon (United States), Thomas Struth (Germany), Jeff Wall (Canada), and Nick Waplington (United Kingdom). The combination of these individual photographic sensibilities and approaches acts as a heterogeneous narrative and produces not a single, monolithic vision, but rather a diverse and fragmented portrait of this important and much contested space.

the tumultuous summer of 1968. The exhibit highlights the organization’s work as a catalyst for social change in the community of Oakland, CA. During this time, the Black Panther Party was seen by most of the United States as a violent, militant organization. Pirkle Jones and Ruth-Marion Baruch, in their own distinctive styles, took it upon themselves to portray the party in a different light. TINY: STREETWISE REVISITED – PHOTOGRAPHS BY MARY ELLEN MARK DECEMBER 10, 2015 – MARCH 20, 2016 IN 1983, PHOTOGRAPHER Mary Ellen Mark began a project called Streetwise that, five years later, would become a poignant document of a fiercely independent group of homeless and troubled youth who made their way on the streets of Seattle as pimps, prostitutes, panhandlers, and small-time drug dealers. Streetwise received critical acclaim for its honest, unvarnished portrayal of life on the streets and introduced us, the public, to characters not easily forgotten. Tiny: Streetwise Revisited is a rare examination of intergenerational poverty, radiating out to issues of homelessness, education, healthcare, addiction, mental health, and child welfare. Mark’s images provide powerful insight into some of the more complex challenges of contemporary American life, yet also reveal the unique 30-year relationship between an artist and her subject.

In her large scale works that comprise both painting and collage Akunyili Crosby speaks of navigating life as an African in America. With an emphasis on the figure in familial, domestic settings, the artist creates compositions that appear as views into everyday life, yet, upon closer observation, are careful constructions that are subtly subversive.

STILL/MOVING: PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO ART FROM THE DEWOODY COLLECTION FEBRUARY 6 – MAY 15, 2016 BETH RUDIN DEWOODY is a collector of contemporary art who is as voracious as she is thoughtful. Her tastes include classic imagery from photographers such as Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, yet also embrace the more nuanced risks taken by artists including Marco Brambilia and Eve Sussman. As complex and idiosyncratic as DeWoody herself, her collection of Photography and Video Art runs the gamut from sacred to profane, vernacular to celebrated, and cerebral to prurient. Yet across the breadth of her holdings, there are threads that bind the collection into a manageable and identifiable whole. The DeWoody collection is populated by works that challenge the viewer on an intellectual, emotional, and visceral level; the works take risks and demand a bit of risk from the viewer. In all, these selections from DeWoody’s collection trace the visual, intellectual, and conceptual underpinnings that have intrigued photographers and video artists for the past half-century.

The Palm Beach Symphony
The Palm Beach Symphony performing at the THE PALM BEACH Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. SYMPHONY was Photo courtesy of the Palm Beach Symphony 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.

NARI WARD: SUN SPLASHED NOVEMBER 19, 2015 – FEBRUARY 21, 2016 IN THE FALL of 2015, Pérez Art Museum Miami will present a mid-career retrospective of Nari Ward (b. 1963, Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica; lives in New York). Sun Splashed will examine Ward’s career through interrelated frameworks that reveal the ongoing investigations, both material and intellectual, that have guided his practice across more than 20 years. Rather than chronologically, this exhibition will be organized around vital points of reference for the artist, including urban space, performance and the body, the dynamics of power and politics, ideas of migration and movement, vernacular traditions, and his native Jamaica. The ambitious scale of his works and his continued experimentation with new materials and media will be brought to the fore in this exhibition, which will feature mixed-media collages, photography, assemblage, sculpture, interactive works, video, and architectural installations.

resistance. Best known for her large-scale works on paper, Báez makes connections that further our understanding of diasporic experiences by interweaving the lives of 18th century black women in Louisiana and the Cuban roots of the Latin American azabache, with symbols used in the U.S. during the tumultuous 1960s. Bloodlines showcases paintings and drawings specifically depicting textiles, hair designs, and body ornaments, linking traditionally loaded symbols with individual human gestures. Her act of overlaying past and potential histories enriches obscured narratives of black experience and resistance, illustrating complex settings where skin tone is no longer a sufficient signifier of race. PROJECT GALLERY: BIK VAN DER POL AUGUST 13, 2015 – FEBRUARY 21, 2016 SPEECHLESS, A NEW work by the Rotterdam-based artistic duo Bik Van der Pol (Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol), is a multilayered exploration of how we speak about the precarious state of the natural world. The work consists of a custom-built aviary, which houses five parrots taught to mimic phrases from T.S. Eliot’s seminal 1922 poem, “The Waste Land,” comparing landscape devastated by war to the ecological devastation of today. The aviary is furnished with a jumble of sculptural letters that spell out the terms “global warming,” “climate change,” and “sustainability.” Part poetic gesture and radical expression, Speechless addresses the power of language within political contexts, and our ability to understand and discuss environmental degradation. By incorporating animals that literally speak back to us, the artists envision a situation in which language serves to unite, rather than to divide, humans from animals, with hopes that this reunification may help us address the urgent ecological crises that we face today.

The pictures show individuals living on the streets, under highways, and in urban back alleys. As part of the museum’s Project Gallery series, this exhibition reflects PAMM’s ongoing commitment to supporting the work of living artists, as well as bringing the best contemporary art of the Americas to the South Florida community. As with many of the upcoming exhibitions at the museum, including a survey of Jamaican-American artist Nari Ward opening in November, and an exhibition of Puerto Rican filmmaker and video artist Beatriz Santiago Muñoz opening in January 2016, Wall’s work addresses pressing social and political issues. CARLOS ALFONZO: CLAY WORKS AND PAINTED CERAMICS NOVEMBER 5, 2015 – APRIL 24, 2016 CARLOS ALFONZO’S PROLIFIC works in clay and painted ceramics are inextricably connected to the formal evolution of his large paintings and sculptures.

The exhibition presents his works with clay and ceramics in the context of contemporaneous paintings, drawings, and other small-scale works.

Born in Havana, Alfonzo migrated to the United States during the Mariel Boatlift in 1980. Previous exhibitions in Miami (Viso, 1997 and Herzberg, 2000) showcased the artist’s short but acclaimed career until his death at the age of 40 in 1991. Organized by Miami-based artist and curator César Trasobares, this exhibition celebrates Alfonzo’s prodigious oeuvre and marks the 25th anniversary of his passing. PROJECT GALLERY: SHEELA GOWDA DECEMBER 1, 2015 – AUGUST 21, 2016 SHEELA GOWDA’S (b.1957, Bhadravati, India) artistic practice engages a diverse range of media and materials. Her unique vocabulary of materials are drawn from both the rural and urban contexts in which she works and are characterized by their interest in texture, color, and socio-political references. PAMM’s double-height Project Gallery will serve as a unique architectural context for a newly commissioned sculptural installation by the Bangalore-based artist. Traditional materials, drawn from her Indian context, are of strong interest to the artist. These have included cow dung, which has sacred implications and is used domestically as cooking fuel and a building material. Other materials she has engaged include Kum Kum, a red pigment used for body adornment and rituals, as well as gold-leaf, coconut fiber, needles, thread, and cord. Her works specifically look to blur the lines between art and craft, and between political and domestic spaces. PROJECT GALLERY: ROMARE BEARDEN JANUARY 14 – JUNE 26, 2016 PROJECT GALLERY: ROMARE BEARDEN features a series of Photostats produced by the artist in the 1960s. Bearden created approximately two dozen small collages, which he subsequently converted into large works on paper using a Photostat machine – the precursor of the Xerox copier. The imagery comprises some of the first experimental, artistic representations of black popular culture from an African-American perspective. Recognized as one of the most prolific visual artists of the

20th century, Romare Bearden (b. 1911, Charlotte; d. 1988, New York) has had a number of solo exhibitions dedicated to his work, including Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey, organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. BEATRIZ SANTIAGO MUÑOZ FEBRUARY 11 – NOVEMBER 13, 2016 THIS EXHIBITION PRESENTS a selection of works by filmmaker and video artist, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz (b. 1972, San Juan), from a body of work that captures the ironies of postcoloBeatriz Santiago Muñoz, The Black Cave (La Cueva nial conditions in the Negra), 2013 Guggenheim Museum Caribbean. Santiago Muñoz’s films and videos create connections between experimental film, ethnography, and theater, alluding to material, local, and symbolic histories. She documents specific communities and public sites to generate her own bricolage – an alternative story about a popular Haitian market, a toxic tropical flower, or a newly discovered archeological site in Puerto Rico. Her actors are ordinary people encouraged by the artist to use strategies from performance art and reenactment. Santiago Muñoz develops her works from long periods of observation, documentation, and engagement. Making the camera another character, her lens moves slowly through social and physical landscapes, capturing every detail, color, personal gesture, and movement of light, creating enigmatic stills that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction.

PROJECT GALLERY: MATTHEW RONAY MARCH 17, 2016 – JANUARY 15, 2017 MATTHEW RONAY WILL produce a new installation for Pérez Art Museum Miami’s Patricia Papper Project Gallery adjacent to the museum’s main entrance. Best known for his sculptural work, Ronay creates beautifully crafted objects from wood, fabric, and clay, which range in scale from small free-standing and wall-based sculptures to immersive installations. He draws out the totemic and surreal qualities of objects through his distinctive use of form and color, which conjure traditions of non-western art making and American folk art, as well as spirituality and psychedelia. Ronay’s most recent works have seen him transforming the dark, muted palette of his previous pieces into bold, riotous colors that vibrate with glowing energy. Straddling a vocabulary married to modernist abstraction and ritualistic objects, Ronay’s sculptures move beyond language and image. They give primacy to the viewer’s experience, and reward close observation of the textured and vivid surfaces, orifices, and protrusions that comprise his otherworldly forms. MICHELE OKA DONER: HOW I CAUGHT A SWALLOW IN MID-AIR MARCH 24 – SEPTEMBER 11, 2016 INCLUDING EXAMPLES OF the artist’s works from the 1960s up through the present, this exhibition presents functional designs, works on paper, and ceramics inspired by natural forms by Oka Doner, the multi-disciplinary artist and designer. A Miami native, Oka Doner is best known for her expansive design of the floors of the Miami international Airport, inspired by local flora. The poetic title of the exhibition is taken from a recent cyanotype print. PAMM’s exhibition coincides with the premier of the Miami City Ballet’s presentation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with costumes and sets designed by the artist.

Guggenheim Salcedo’s Foundation artworks convey a sense of an absent, missing body and evoke a collective sense of loss. The resulting pieces engage with multiple dualities at once – strength and fragility, the ephemeral and the enduring – and bear elements of healing and reparation in the careful, laborious process of their making. Salcedo grounds her art in rigorous fieldwork, which involves extensive interviews with people who have experienced loss and trauma in their everyday lives. This process imbues her work with an intimate connection to the personal that speaks to collective experiences and universal emotions.

IN THE SCULPTURE GARDEN: JEDD NOVATT ONGOING 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. As if arrested in a process of being formed from the primordial state of disorder to which the series title alludes, in a perpetual state of becoming, they inspire awe and impart grand emotions unfamiliar in the history of minimalism. IN THE SCULPTURE GARDEN: MARK DI SUVERO ONGOING MARK DI SUVERO (B. 1933, Shanghai, China; lives in New York) began exhibiting his sculptures in the late 1950s and is considered one of the most important American sculptors to emerge in the Post-War Mark di Suvero, La Plume de Pierrot, 1974.
