Gallery Tour of the 2022 Florida Biennial

Join Curator of Exhibitions Meaghan Kent for an exhibition tour of the 2022 Florida Biennial.

As the title implies, a multi-media approach is revealed in the practices of art-making by the participating artists. From traditional portraiture to recycled materials, the exhibition seeks to reveal a rawness that evokes our current times and experiences. As Rouse states, “Overall, the sense I get is an exploration of our place, in/with nature and in society right now, with a dominant strain of what I want to call magic realism, as well as an overall developed sense of materiality.”

This 11th edition of the Center’s Florida Biennial features 24 artists representing eight Florida counties. The exhibition was juried by Ylva Rouse, Senior Curator at MOCA Jacksonville, who reviewed over 1,000 submitted works from 349 artists from cities throughout Florida. The exhibition was organized by Meaghan Kent and Joanna Ruis, ArtsAspire Curatorial Assistant.

Participating Artists: Javier Barrera (Miami Beach), Bella Cardim (Key Biscayne), Christopher Clark (Jacksonville), Elaine Defibaugh (Miami), Dana Donaty (Boynton Beach), Christian Feneck (Fort Lauderdale), Brendhan Garland (Gainesville), Bonney Goldstein (Fort Lauderdale), Sheila Goloborotko (Jacksonville),Anna Goraczko (North Miami Beach), Jeanne Jaffe (Boynton Beach), Sophia Lacroix (Hollywood), Cynthia Mason (St. Petersburg), Cheryl Maeder (Lake Worth), Raymond Olivero (Mount Dora), Kerry Phillips (Miami), Vickie Pierre (Miami), Evelyn Politzer (Miami), Galal Ramadan (Fort Lauderdale), Alette Simmons-Jiménez (Miami), Aida Tejada (Miami), Cornelius Tulloch (Miami), Jackeuline Walters (Aventura), Zaplaflora (Jesús F Torres) (Hialeah)

Animation Generation

Animation Generation presents film and videos from the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale Collection that use elements of animation and illustration. The selection ranges from cels for Walt Disney’s second animated feature film Pinocchio (1940) to the pioneering 3-D digital animations of Jennifer Steinkamp. The technology has rapidly developed since the early 20th century, when animations required teams of artists and animators to undertake the laborious task of hand-painting each scene. Although the advent of computer-generated imagery in the 1960s allowed artists to achieve life-like effects, artists such as Raymond Pettibon and William Kentridge (whose two-channel film Ursonate is on view in the adjoining gallery) chose to produce animations that appear decidedly hand-made. With the recent launch of Meta AI’s Animated Drawings software, even children can watch their own drawn figures dance, skip and jump in seconds.

William Kentridge: Ursonate

Johannesburg artist William Kentridge’s performance piece Ursonate will be on view at NSU Art Museum, with screenings during museum hours, every hour on the half-hour, 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. (Tuesdays through Saturdays); 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Sundays). Based on Dada artist Kurt Schwitters’ 1932 sound poem Ursonate, consisting entirely of a nonsense, invented language, Kentridge’s work is comprised of two film projections: one in which the artist emphatically gesticulates as he sounds the score accompanied by an opera singer and percussionist, while a constant flow of animated calligraphic images drawn by Kentridge are projected on the second screen. This exhibition coincides with the performance of Kentridge’s opera The Head & The Load at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Miami from December 1-3, 2022.

Malcolm Morley: Shipwreck

This exhibition features sculptures composed of found objects and that are distinguished by the unlikely combinations of repurposed materials that constitute their form.Beginning November 20 through April 16, 2023, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale will present Malcolm Morley: Shipwreck, in collaboration with Hall Art Foundation. Malcolm Morley (b. London, 1931-2018) achieved widespread acclaim in the 1960s for his photo-based paintings. This exhibition focuses on the recurring ship motif in Morley’s work from his earliest superrealist paintings of ocean liners in the 1960s to his imaginative paintings of complex compositions of battles and other catastrophes based on still-lifes he arranged of toy model boats and planes in later years.

KATIA SY. HILAIRE: IMMATERIAL BEING

NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale presents the first solo museum exhibition of South Florida artist Kathia St. Hilaire (b.1995, West Palm Beach, FL). St. Hilaire’s work portrays tender images of family gatherings, children at play, celestial bodies, scenes of death, and distinct Haitian iconography. Her visual language is enhanced by the ornate, textured surfaces on which these images appear. The distinct constructions are composed through a lattice framework of linoleum panels, sewn together to form quilt-like formations resembling ceremonial Haitian Vodun flags. St. Hilaire refers to her signature surface making technique as reduction relief printing. This laborious crafting method combines an array of materials such as cosmetics, textiles, detritus, jewelry, enamels and metals, which together form a haptic, abstract collage. These intricate and ethereal backgrounds become the stage for the artist’s figurative imagery.

SCOTT COVERT: I HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE

I Had a Wonderful Life is the first solo museum exhibition dedicated to artist Scott Covert (b.1954, Edison, NJ.). This presentation of Covert’s 40-year-long practice will center on his Monument Paintings, which the artist began making in 1985. Covert, a legendary figure within the eighties East Village art scene, forms his abstract compositions through the Victorian tradition of grave rubbing, in which an impression is lifted from the honorary reliefs on tombstones. With the cemeteries of the world serving as his itinerant studio, Covert has dedicated his life to visiting the resting places of what he calls “people of character.”

By the Sea, By the Sea: Waterscapes and Beach Scenes By William J. Glackens and the Ashcan School

NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale presents By the Sea, By the Sea: Waterscapes and Beach Scenes by William J. Glackens and the Ashcan School. The exhibition draws from the Museum’s vast collection of masterful seascapes by William J. Glackens, which is the largest collection in the world of artworks and archival materials related to Glackens, and members of the artist’s milieu, created in the late 19th and early 20th century. These paintings, photographs, prints and sketches portray unfettered, modern visions of leisure and labor by the waterfront.
Key works within this show include Glackens’ charming portrayal of women approaching the placid sea in his post-Impressionist masterpiece Cape Cod Pier (1908), along with his painting of New York’s maritime industrial progress,Tugboat and Lighter (1904-1905). Also included are his humorous series of crowded beaches that reflect the growing allure of the seaside as an escape from the urban density of the industrial age.
