PAMM: Contemporary Cuban Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection

Friday, June 9th from 10am – 6pm experience the opening of ‘On the Horizon: Contemporary Cuban Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection’ at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. This exhibition explores the diverse cultural and emotional landscapes of recent Cuban Art. It presents a selection of works by Contemporary Cuban artists donated to the museum by Jorge M. Pérez, the majority from a recent gift of over 160 pieces, as well as works previously gifted to PAMM in 2012, and several recent acquisitions. The selection includes multiple images of the horizon, and these works serve to structure the conceptual framework of the exhibition. The diverse meanings placed on the horizon—which include it as a symbol of longing, containment or desire—radiate across the additional works on view. Exhibition runs from June 9th, 2017 through April 8th, 2018.
