Miami Currents: Linking Community and Collection
October 30, 2002 – March 2, 2003
Upper Level and Plaza Level Galleries
 Miami Currents presents
artworks from MAM’s six-year-old
collection, supplemented by works from private collections in Miami
and beyond.
Taken together, these two hundred paintings, drawings, photographs,
sculptures, and media works reveal the diversity and vibrancy of the
Miami community. The exhibition reflects MAM’s inclusive vision
and dedication to international art since 1940, with an emphasis
on art from the Americas. Arranged thematically rather than chronologically,
the exhibition allows artworks to speak to each other across cultures,
geographical boundaries, and generations. The result is a uniquely
Miami perspective on our time.
The exhibition, organized by MAM's curatorial staff,
including Peter Boswell, assistant director for programs/senior
curator; Lorie
Mertes, curator,
and Cheryl Hartup, associate curator, was made possible
through special grants from the National Endowment for the Arts,
Miami-Dade County,
and Miami Art Museum’s Annual Exhibition
Fund. The accompanying audio tour is produced by Antenna Audio and
is funded by the Frances L. Wolfson Foundation.
