Nayda Collazo-Llorens: Pleasure, Fear and the Pursuit of Happiness- until November 3, 2013

A public textual intervention consisting of text bubbles throughout the walking paths of the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens. Collazo-Llorens' works are based on thoughts and memories, both real and invented, collected from Miami Beach locals and visitors. The text was collected by completing on-site questionnaires, informal surveys and casual conversations in and around Miami Beach. Pedestrians will experience the narrative by participating in an open-ended journey, a textscape or mental mapping to accompany them as they walk the gardens.

Pan American Modernism: Latin American & U.S. Art from the Permanent Collection- Until October 13, 2013

This exhibition will explore, for the first time, the rich visual dialogue that exists between artworks produced by artists working in North, Central and South America during the modern and postmodern eras. Rather than perpetuating a U.S.-centric hegemony, which tends to diminish works of art produced by Latin American artists, this exhibition will analyze how Pan-American artistic exchanges processes - rather than stylistic transmission - construct a fuller understanding of modernism as an international phenomenon.
