The Cisneros-Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) announced the opening of Intersections (after Lautrémont). The exhibit will be opened from September 3rd thru November 1st at the CIFO Space located at 1018 North Miami Avenue. The works presented are the product of CIFO’s 13th annual Grants & Commissions Program, which strives to support and showcase the works of emerging and established Latin American artists.

The title of the exhibition, Intersections (after Lautréamont) refers to the notion of beauty and how, during each era, art is responsible for reformulating, subverting, and/or proposing alternative ways of understanding beauty. There is no single criterion in the exhibition, opening spaces for tense intersections, armed with both correspondence and friction. Placing the questions raised by the works of this year’s winners through the prism of this new juncture in the city that hosts them, could produce moments of estrangement, disturbing crossroads, poetic collisions. That is already an initial point of convergence, among other possible intersections offered by this exhibition: on one hand, the changes produced in the Miami scene in relation to Latin America; on the other hand, the wide range of concerns that occupy the award-winning artists.
