Not to Be Missed

Don’t miss a beat; mark your summer and fall calendar for these epic events

From lobster to lacquer, Palm Beach to Paris, this summer abounds with fun and fascinating events to keep us occupied in between trips to the beach. Food fans can swing down to Key West for Lobsterfest, sample world cuisine at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival or take in Flavor Palm Beach. Design professionals and aficionados will be drawn to the Home Design and Remodeling Show in Miami or perhaps the ASID Awards Gala in D.C. And, as always, the only problem art lovers will have is narrowing down which exhibitions to see first.

Art Exhibitions

Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art

THE DOMES OF THE YOSEMITE

Through July 8

“The Domes of the Yosemite,” the largest existing painting by Albert Bierstadt (1830–1902), is making its post-conservation debut at the Morse through a special loan from the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum in Vermont. The monumental 1867 painting, which has not been seen outside the Athenaeum since its installation there in 1873, appeared on the American scene in the context of the Hudson River School. These loosely affiliated landscape artists produced grand, romantic images of New York’s countryside. Bierstadt took this Hudson River model to the American West, producing western landscapes of the same scale and spirit.

Celebrating 75 Years

— PATHWAYS OF AMERICAN ART

Through Sept. 23

“Celebrating 75 Years — Pathways of American Art” is an exhibition of more than 60 objects, including, for example, Tiffany art glass made for the wealthy, as well as elegant cast glass for the middle class, and iridescent carnival glass that was pressed and sold for pennies to a mass audience. It also includes portraits, landscape paintings, works on paper, and pottery, along with some of Hugh McKean’s delightfully conversational labels.

UNEXPECTED SMILES: SEVEN TYPES OF HUMOR IN JAPANESE PAINTINGS

Through Aug. 10

This exhibition, organized by the University of Richmond, examines the development of humor in Japan between the 1700s and early 1900s, focusing on seven categories: parody, satire, personification, word-play, fantasy, exaggeration and playfulness, through the medium of painting. The 48 works are drawn from private and public collections in the United States and include many famous artists of the time, such as Sotatsu, Hakuin, Shohaku, Jakuchu, Rengetsu, Nantenbo and Kodojin. Together they display a great variety of styles and subjects with the single common point of humor. Within their profoundly humanistic framework, the drollery, wit, waggishness, irony and whimsy of the paintings in this exhibition will surely lead viewers to their own, often unexpected, smiles.

HARD BODIES: CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE LACQUER SCULPTURE

Sept. 29 – Jan. 20, 2019

Since the Neolithic era, artisans in East Asia have coated bowls, cups, boxes, baskets and other utilitarian objects with a natural polymer distilled from the sap of the rhus verniciflua, known as the lacquer tree. Lacquerware was, and still is, prized for its sheen — a lustrous beauty that artists learned to accentuate over the centuries with inlaid gold, silver, mother-of-pearl and other precious materials. Since the late 1980s, this tradition has been challenged. A small but enterprising circle of lacquer artists have pushed the medium in entirely new and dynamic directions by creating large-scale sculptures, works that are both conceptually innovative and superbly exploitive of lacquer’s natural virtues. Organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the 30 works by 16 artists comprise the first-ever comprehensive exhibition of contemporary Japanese lacquer sculpture. They have all been drawn from the Clark Collections at Mia, the only collection in the world to feature this extraordinary new form.

SECRET CITIES: THE ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT

Through March 3, 2019

Washington D.C.’s National Building Museum focuses on the three U.S. cities that were built from the ground up in Tennessee, New Mexico and Washington state to provide bases for developing nuclear weapons during World War

II. The trio, known as the Manhattan Project, served a strategic military purpose. But today they demonstrate pioneering architecture, engineering and planning, as well as modernist design principles.

UNEXPECTED NARRATIVES: VIDEOS BY CHRIS DOYLE AND MUNTEAN/ROSENBLUM KING GALLERY

Through July 15

Showcasing three videos from the early 2000s, this exhibition features works from Chris Doyle and the collaborative Muntean/Rosenblum.

Doyle’s “Hotel Bernini I” and “Hotel Bernini II” from 2004 are part of a larger series of stop-animation films that bring vacant hotel bedrooms to life. In both works, the bed linens become animated as they twist, coil, fold and unfold over a quickened period of time. Doyle creates playful creatures from an otherwise still and inanimate environment with these whimsical works. The 2005 video, “Disco,” by Muntean/Rosenblum is a modern day tableau vivant that opens with a deserted discotech and transforms into a reinterpretation of Romantic masterpiece painting “The Raft of the Medusa.”

Created by Theodore Gericault between 1818 and 1819, the dramatic history painting illustrates the moment of rescue for shipwrecked travelers adrift at sea. Together, all three works use video to create compelling narratives in unexpected places.

William Henry Fox Talbot And The Birth Of Photography

Through July 15

In 1839, William Henry Fox Talbot presented a new technological advance to the Royal Society in London. Talbot had been experimenting with methods of “fixing” an image created by light on paper. His work would result in the formulation of using negatives to print images — a process still in use to this day. “William Henry Fox Talbot and the Birth of Photography” highlights a recent acquisition of a very early photogenic drawing Talbot made of a piece of lace sometime before 1845.

Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)

1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami 305-375-3000 pamm.org

Monday–Tuesday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m.–9 p.m., Friday–Sunday 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Closed Wednesday

HAROON MIRZA:

July 21–July 29

A C I D G E S T

Haroon Mirza (b. 1977, London) is a multimedia artist who works with audiovisual materials, electronic equipment, amplifiers and found objects to create immersive environments and kinetic sculptures. His work amplifies phenomena that are often imperceptible — such as electricity — and seeks to create or distort the relationship between optics and acoustics, giving unexpected visual and sensorial analogs to what we hear. Mirza uses a particular visual and material vocabulary to modify architectural spaces, including colored neon and sculptural acoustic foam, creating installations that offer a precise, highly mediated experience of sound and light.

THE WORDS OF OTHERS: LEON FERRARI AND RHETORIC IN TIMES OF WAR

Through Aug. 12

Originally organized as part of “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA” (2017–18), an initiative of the Getty Foundation, this solo exhibition of the Argentinian artist Leon Ferrari (b. 1920, Buenos Aires; d. 2013, Buenos Aires) focuses on his influential practice from the 1960s to the ‘80s.

With a particular emphasis on his literary collages — works incorporating text excerpts from different sources that are reassembled to create an all together new message — the exhibition features the first full live reading of his seminal 1967 publication “Palabras Ajenas” (The Words of Others), an important Vietnam-era anti-war piece written in the form of a dramatic script.

HEW LOCKE: FOR THOSE IN PERIL ON THE SEA

July 21–Aug. 26

This exhibition presents the second iteration of “For Those in Peril on the Sea” (2011), an installation by Hew Locke (b. 1959, Edinburgh; lives in London) first shown in 2013 during PAMM’s inaugural programming. Consisting of dozens of scaled-down replicas of ships suspended from the ceiling, the installation creates the impression of a massive exodus taking place throughout the architectural space above the viewer. It features a broad range of vessel types, from cigarette boats, catamarans and cruise liners to ragged fishing skiffs and timeworn cargo ships. In light of Miami’s history as the site for numerous waves of immigration — particularly from the Caribbean, and specifically by sea — “For Those in Peril on the Sea” will have a particular resonance for the museum’s audiences. With its significant links to the South Florida community, this installation, part of Perez Art Museum Miami’s permanent collection, promises a powerful experience for visitors.

MARY M. AND SASH A. SPENCER SCULPTURE GARDEN AT PAMM

Ongoing

Featuring works by artists such as Anthony Caro, Gonzalo Fonseca, Edgar Negret, Ernesto Neto, Jedd Novatt, Pablo Atchugarry and Mark di Suvero, PAMM’s sculpture garden displays largescale sculptures that can be enjoyed in the open air.

A KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOR: THE COSTUME DESIGNS OF MILES WHITE

April 22–Aug. 5

Elephants transformed into swans and clowns became kings. These whimsical visions are captured in the drawings of costume designer Miles White (1914-2000). Paired with original costumes and contemporary photographs, White’s drawings evoke the adventurous era of design that emerged in mid-century American performance. This exhibition includes original sketches, watercolors, swatchbooks and production documents. Some drawings will be paired with actual wardrobe pieces and historic photographs. Over 500 of White’s original sketches and watercolors are in the Tibbals Circus Collection at The Ringling.

Vero Beach Museum of Art

3001 Riverside Park Drive, Vero Beach 772-231-0707 verobeachmuseum.org

Monday–Saturday 10 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Sunday 1–4:30 p.m.

ASTRONOMY PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Through Sept. 16

This exhibition will feature approximately 50 photographs of celestial spectacle chosen from entries to the photography competition “Astronomy: Photographer of the Year.” Each year since 2009 the Royal Observatory in London has invited entries in categories such as aurorae, galaxies, moon, sun, people and space, planets, comets and asteroids, skyscapes, and stars and nebulae. In 2017, a judging panel comprised of curators, astronomers, and artists chose from 3,800 entries taken by astrophotographers in 91 countries, providing a truly worldwide selection in each category. Each year has showcased exciting new discoveries; for instance, this year the judges received images of Uranus and asteroids for the first time. Visitors to the exhibition will see images such as Mercury crossing the sun in Lancashire, U.K., the Aurora Borealis reflected on the sea in Iceland, and a starry sky over the glacier “White Stones” in Argentina.

You can’t help but smile when viewing the exhibition of humorous paintings at the Morikami in Delray Beach.
