MEXICO CITY.- Centro de la Imagen presents Vision Revealed: Selections from the work of Abelardo Morell, on view through August 19, 2007. On May 11, 2006, The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University launched its first traveling exhibition in Latin America. After several years of dedicated planning and with the generous support of title sponsor UBS, the Latin American tour of Vision Revealed: Selections from the work of Abelardo Morell will debut in São Paolo, Brazil and will continue on to Santiago de Chile on July 13th, 2006 and to Buenos Aires and Mexico, D.F. in 2007. This ambitious project was conceived as part of the international celebration of the highly anticipated grand opening of the new Frost Art Museum.
Vision Revealed: Selections from the work of Abelardo Morell, curated by Elizabeth Cerejido, first opened at the Frost Art Museum in January 2004. The exhibition highlights several different series by this renowned Cuban-American artist, including the Camera Obscura body of work for which he is best known. Morells photographs have been exhibited and collected in major museums around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY and the Art Institute of Chicago. Morell is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards including the Cintas and Guggenheim Fellowships.
Since the initial success of the exhibition, the Frost Art Museum has identified leading art institutions in Latin America who share our vision and passion for interpreting, preserving and presenting contemporary Latin American and American art. The Frost Art Museum staff has worked closely with leading members of the arts communities in each of the hosting cities to coordinate exquisitely chic VIP opening receptions. Attending these events alongside Latin Americas elite art connoisseurs, CEOs and politicians will be featured artist Abelardo Morell, leading VIPs from Miami including naming donors Patricia and Phillip Frost, as well as Frost Art Museum Curator, Elizabeth Cerejido.
The Frost Art Museums efforts to foster cultural, educational, and artistic exchanges complement Florida International Universitys commitment to its ever-growing international audiences. This important exhibition lays the groundwork for the Museums goals to pursue future collaborative projects with international museums. By cultivating the transnational relationships that have been established through this project, the Frost Art Museum will be able to expand its presence abroad, as well as its offerings at home through unique initiatives in the arts.
