SUMMARY:Water State\, projections in the courtyard by Alejandra Abad
DESCRIPTION:Join Venezuelan artist Alejandra Abad for an engaging talk about her past projects\, process\, and recent work where she explores belonging and mutual compassion as key parts of collective wellness. Abad’s current project\, Water State\, relates to sharing stories of refuge in Florida. Through outdoor digital projections Abad will bring the Everglades and our natural world into urban spaces. \nAbout Alejandra Abad: Born in Caracas\, Venezuela\, Alejandra Abad is an interdisciplinary visual artist and educator who explores belonging and mutual compassion as key parts of collective wellness. Through layering\, abstraction\, and light\, she creates new landscapes that relate to place\, family\, and community. Her playful storytelling often features fragmentation\, folklore\, and mythology. Her style is informed by architectural studies at Florida Atlantic University\, Film/Video/New Media/Animation at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, and Interdisciplinary Media Art Practices at The University of Colorado. She uses analog and digital processes for the projection of moving images in public spaces which are rooted in her pedagogy of care. These processes often transform drawings\, paintings\, collages\, prints\, and handmade materials into audiovisual elements\, animated shorts\, visual essays\, and site-specific installations that center around community\, collaboration\, and shared oral histories. \nThis has led to a series of works centered on environmental futures and the implications of the anthropocene. Her installation work creates environments that include sculptural elements and video projection that relate the history of anticolonial movements to international surrealism and magical realism – particularly from South America and the Caribbean – and how these elements are interconnected in new spaces. Her work features conceptual and collaborative pieces that work to break down the barriers between artist and audience.

SUMMARY:A Conversation: Art and the Brain
DESCRIPTION:The Coral Springs Museum of Art will continue this vital conversation about Alzheimer’s Awareness and Dementia during a community talk called “Art and the Brain” on September 12th\, held in the Main Gallery. \n\n\n\nArt and the Brain: Naked NeuronsJoin Kristin Beck and Lindsey Wuest for a thought-provoking discussion and a brain thumping art activity. ‘Naked Neurons’ is an interactive conversation and creative experience that will inspire attendees to analyze memories associated with the senses in a tactile way—assigning a deeper meaning to how our brains process memories. Beck and Wuest will share insight into their creative practices—one teaching elementary kids science through art and the other creating art in response to science and cognitive decline. Together\, we will discover how these paths converge in interesting ways to uncover the naked truth about our identities. No art skills are required for this activity and all supplies will be included. \n\n\n\nAbout Lindsey Wuest:Lindsey is an artist and a career teacher\, licensed in English 6-12 and Art K-12.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Before I Forget\, Barrio Alto\, Sementerxs & Dialogues Across Walls
DESCRIPTION:Coral Springs Museum of Art is presenting a new exhibition featuring Edison Peñafiel\, Amanda Linares\, and Mitzi Falcón in the Main Gallery\, with Kristin Beck showcased in the East Gallery. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artists:Kristin Beck is a writer\, artist\, and native Floridian\, which provides colorful characters along with the intense humidity. Influenced by the area’s vibrant culture\, her work relies on crustacean-hued memories and is imbued with the sound of wild parrots set free by Hurricane Andrew. Beck has exhibited in nearly 50 exhibitions\, including Best in Show at Girls’ Club\, Ft. Lauderdale\, Fla.\, and Gritty in Pink at Bailey Contemporary Arts\, Pompano Beach\, Fla.\, Last Blast at Frenchy Gallery\, New Orleans\, La.\, and Curators as Artists at Warehouse Gallery\, Orlando\, Fla. In 2024\, she received an Artist Support grant from the Broward Cultural Division. \n\n\n\nMitzi Falcón trained as a designer and visual communicologist at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and as a self-taught artist. Mitzi’s visual proposal fuses her experiences with various contemporary issues such as neurodivergences\, migration\, gender inequalities and social inequalities; Falcón not only seeks to convey an opinion or judgment on these issues\, but through the inclusion of objects with high symbolic content and the recreation of scenic fictions\, she seeks reflection\, resonance and critical analysis of the viewer. \n\n\n\nShe works with photography and scenography. \n\n\n\nHis work has recently been exhibited at the Consulate of the United Mexican States in Miami\, Corridor Project – Oslow Norway and the Untitled Art Fair in Miami and is part of several private collections. \n\n\n\nEdison Peñafiel\, originally from Ecuador\, migrated to the United States in 2002. Since graduating from the Florida International University’s Fine Arts program in 2016\, he concentrated his practice on numerous large scale projects\, site-specific\, and immersive installations projects presented at The Bass Museum\, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami\, the Orlando Museum of Art\, the Elsewhere Museum\, the Contemporary Art Center New Orleans\, the Atlantic Center for the Arts\, the USF Contemporary Art Museum\, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale\, Atchugarry Art Center\, among others. Notable awards include: the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation\, the Florida Prize in Contemporary Art\, the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship\, the Green Family Foundation\, and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. \n\n\n\nAmanda Linares is a Cuban-born visual artist who currently lives and works in Miami. Her work expands like branches using an immense variety of media from design and drawing to installation and photography. Influenced by literature and spatial awareness\, Amanda’s work contains poetic language while exploring narration and/or space through the use of reflection\, transparency\, revelation\, found objects\, and typographical solutions. Although in constant change\, her work intimately dances between many universal issues\, such as identity\, displacement\, absence\, and reconnection. Her eagerness for learning new ways to express herself led her to study graphic design at New World School of the Arts. She is currently a resident artist at the Bakehouse Art Complex. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Scott Schneider | Toxic/Nature Studios
DESCRIPTION:Toxic/Nature Studios features environmental photography by Scott Schneider that celebrates the majesty of nature and laments its demise\, in small moments. Using close-up macro techniques with his iPhone\, the photographs express Schneider’s appreciation for and concern about the environment. With the practice of taking photos daily of his surroundings\, Schneider creates archival\, digital prints from these images using environmentally friendly inks on bamboo paper. \n\n\n\n“As we become increasingly distracted by our devices\, we tend to overlook small disasters beneath our feet. Likewise\, we can fail to notice the beautiful moments present in nature. I explore these concepts in the “Toxic” and “Nature” galleries on my website ToxicNature.com. Beauty can also be found in the rust\, decay\, and textures of everyday objects\, which I highlight in the “Manufactor” gallery\, found on the website as well.” ~Scott Schneider \n\n\n\nJoin this event to ask questions\, learn more about Scott’s work and more! \n\n\n\nAdmission is FREE. Registration is not required.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Near the rivers\, there are many large springs
DESCRIPTION: \n\nMilena Arango\, Donna Ruff\, KX2 (Ruth Avra and Dana Kleinman): Near the rivers\, there are many large springsOn View: April 11 – July 20\, 2024 \nEXHIBITION OVERVIEW:Near the rivers there are many large springs is an exhibition that highlights the Florida landscape from the lenses of four South Florida artists that use historical elements\, raw data\, repurposed materials\, and nature to create awareness of the changing environment in the area. Milena Arango’s leaf imprints on paper and textile using natural pigments extracted from the teak tree serve as a reflection of her personal journey. Her 197-feet long VTG (Vestigium Tectona Grandis) exposes traces of leaves and the effects of land and water from multiple landscapes. \nDonna Ruff’s interest in history and the tropical landscape led her to discover archival landscape photographs in a 1920’s book by John Kunkel Small. Inspired by his call to protect Florida’s wetlands a century ago\, Ruff’s created silkscreens from her landscape photographs on locations previously captured by Small\, and printed them on pages of a book by Small that identifies flora in Miami. KX2 presents artworks made with repurposed materials\, raising awareness on issues related to climate change and water infrastructure. Boil Notice focuses on a lack of access to potable water\, industrial waste pollution\, and the effect of climate change on our water infrastructure. And works from Obstruction Series aim to raise an awareness of the dependence on the vast and hidden networks of utility pipes of our modern world and the pressures they face with climate change\, population growth and pollution. \nARTIST RECEPTION:Thursday\, April 11\, 5:30pm-8:00pm | FREE \n\nAlthough registration is not required\, you may RSVP \nRSVP Now
