The Florida Artist Series with Humberto Calzada: The Fire Next Time |
 If the works of Cuban artist Humberto Calzada have been historically couched in an unabashed nostalgia-ism for his homeland- mapping the territory of exile with emotional and psychological force- the new works aim to readdress his very own diasporic narrative. Works on the destructive and regenerative properties of fire by Calzada are the subject of the next Florida Artist Series exhibition, on view at The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum from October 12, 2011 through January 8, 2012. Organized by Elizabeth Cerejido, The Fire Next Time presents works on the idea of Fire – the fire of war, the fire of light, the fire of passion and emotions with its metaphorical connotations. |

Color on Color |
|
November 9, 2011 – February 19, 2012 The exhibition, COLOR ON COLOR, presents to the viewer works by different artists in which the use of color is non-objective. In many of these instances, color is not used as a representation, but as the essence of the work. Even in the works that have representation or some kind of reference to the visible world, “the sublime” is evident not in the devastation or denial of the form as such, but in its contrast with the world of the finite and formal things. |
