COLOR ON COLOR

COLOR ON COLOR A new exhibition with Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Buenos Aires (MACBA)

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU presents COLOR ON COLOR- marking the first collaboration with Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Buenos Aires (MACBA). Curated by MACBA director Constanza Cerullo, the exhibition will draw from MACBA's collection and will open on November 9th, 2011. This will be the first of an ongoing series of programs and exhibitions between the two institutions.

The exhibition, COLOR ON COLOR, presents to the viewer works by different artists in which the use of color is non-objective. In many of these instances, color is not used as a representation, but as the essence of the work. Even in the works that have representation or some kind of reference to the visible world, "the sublime" is evident not in the devastation or denial of the form as such, but in its contrast with the world of the finite and formal things.

MACBA collects, studies and exhibits Modern and Contemporary Art from Latin America and abroad.   The museum promotes, and presents to the public, artworks that are representative of its mission and philosophy.   This includes works by artists from movements such as Geometric Abstraction, Op Art, Kinetic Art, Spatialism, Zero Group and Color Field, among others. Part of this mission includes the promotion of Argentine artists at the international level, and the opportunity to foreign artists and institutions to exhibit their works at MACBA as participants in a global, cultural programming exchange.
