“In addition, Katherine Dreier transformed four smaller exhibitions rooms into model apartments made up of a library, a living room, a bedroom and a dining room. This model apartment served Katherine Dreier first as a didactic instrument, which was intended to to show visitors how modern art could be integrated in an average household”. Fuchs, Ruday et al. (2000), Kurt Schwitters I is Style, Rotterdam, NAI Publishers.
Everyone likes to collect something.
The evolution and development of the living space is defined by the individual’s interaction in the social context. The accumulation of objects states someone’s trajectory and it can be understood as a material diary. The display of objects, artifacts and the staging of the domestic space defines owner-space interaction, and the visitor’s perception. Simulation is a fundamental part of our interaction in the social environment, the idea of portraying a different image of reality is embedded in the material culture, to the extent of where the simulation surpass the facade and becomes the real condition.
The exhibition explores simulation as a frame to investigate the relationship between the history of the neighborhood, the building and the physical characteristics of the space. It utilizes the domestic space as platform to articulate dialogs about collecting, displaying, appearance, popular, and material culture.
Artists: Magdiel Aspillaga, Carlos Caballero, Eileen Cowin, Ernesto García, Jose Iraola; Amanda Keeley (Exiled Books), Linda Lopez, Otari Oliva, Allegra Pacheco, Tonel; Ernesto Oroza, Noam Rappaport, Richard Wentworth.

Ernesto Oroza, Untitled (Habitat cell made out with euphorbia trigona shrubs and an aluminum door.) From architecture of necessity, 2012

Opening Reception: Friday, Nov. 4, 2016
“we should want … [our] relationship to space to evoke architecture as it is informed by the humanities, not architecture simply as a technical art.” -LaVerne Wells-Bowie (Art On My Mind: Visual Politics: bell hooks)
The works selected by curator William Cordova represent four generations of South Florida artists whose practice is informed and rooted in the geography, community and multi-cultural diversity of the region. These are artists who have endured and evolved as South Florida has changed, and yet still transcend the boundaries of expectation.
The exhibition offers a glimpse into the prism of South Florida art through sculpture, painting, drawing, audio and film. The works are derived from many different parts of the region and utilize a variety of concepts and scale. Exhibiting artists include the late Purvis Young, the first real home-grown talent whose prolific and complex work gained international critical acclaim well before the 2000s; Karen Rifas, whose expansive site-specific ephemeral installations have been a trademark and influence on the ever-evolving local scene since the 1970s; Robert Thiele, the first Florida artist to be included in the prestigious Whitney Biennial (1975); Juana Valdes, whose work has been included in various biennials, including the Havana and SITE Santa Fe biennials, and yet locally goes unnoticed by major museums; and Onajide Shabaka, visual artist, anthropologist, botanist and writer, a cultural practitioner whose artistic depth and contributions remain unmatched. These are only a few of the many practitioners whose works will be highlighted in this survey of a southern Florida collective.

FUTURS NON-CONFORMES
An exhibition curated by Nicolas Maigret, artist, curator et teacher at the Parsons School Paris
April 7th – October 2016
FUTURS NON-CONFORMES ventures the hypothesis that a form of ‘propaganda of innovation’ exists and that this propaganda has become, in turn, the focal point for a series of artistic counterstrategies which are critical, experimental and speculative in nature.
