Michael Loveland and Serge Toussaint in conversation with PAMM Curator René Morales
Wednesday, September 23 at 7:00 pm
BFI
100 NE 11 Street
Miami, FL 33132
This informal discussion examines the spirit of collaboration at the heart of Rip Current, in which corporate advertising is conflated with handmade commercial signage. The results evoke Miami’s unique visual and material culture, while posing questions about the divide between high art and more vernacular forms of expression, and between formal global economies and informal local ones.
Please join us as Perez Art Museum Miami’s Curator, René Morales leads a discussion with BFI’s current exhibiting artists, Michael Loveland and Serge Toussaint.
Refreshments will be served before the talk.
René Morales is Curator at Pérez Art Museum Miami (previously Miami Art Museum), where he has organized dozens of exhibitions, including Global Positioning Systems, Nicolas Lobo: The Leisure Pit, and Marjetica Potrc: The School of the Forest. The first exhibition that Morales organized for Miami Art Museum, titled Miami in Transition, examined the relationship between local artmaking and the local real estate market; it included a large, site-specific commissioned installation by Michael Loveland. Morales grew up in Miami; he earned a BA from Swarthmore College and an MA in Art History at Brown University. Prior to working at MAM/PAMM, Morales worked at the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
