BETWEEN HERE AND THERE at MAM – Knight Foundation

BETWEEN HERE AND THERE at MAM

This Sunday the Miami Art Museum opens Between Here and There, an exhibition of the museum’s permanent collection. Gearing up for the move to Museum Park, this marks the first ever long-term display of the MAM’s growing permanent collection, which should stay up with periodic changes well into the year 2013. The exhibition contains works by artists from all over the world, from the America’s, to Europe, to Africa, and even a sub-section of South Florida artists, all of which should encompass roughly 9,000 square feet of museum space. The “Anchor Gallery” section of the collection will feature regularly changing large-scale works, starting off with Galaxies Forming Along Filaments, an installation by Tomás Saraceno, the Argentine representative to this year’s Venice Biennale.

A separate Focus Gallery, aims to display mini-shows with themes that represent the MAM’s collecting goals. The first will feature single works by Joseph Albers, Alexander Calder, Hans Hofmann, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Matta and Joaquín Torres García.

You can also expect to find works by Carlos Alfonso, José Bedia, Adolph Gottlieb, Francesco Clemente, Chuck Close, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ann Hamilton, Alfredo Jaar, Wifredo Lam, Sol LeWitt, Morris Louis, Anna Maria Maiolino, Anna Mendieta, Vik Muniz, Ruben Ochoa, Damian Ortega, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Regina Silveira, Lorna Simpson, Frank Stella, Rachel Whiteread and Kehinde Wiley.
