ArtLab @ The Lowe
TRENDS AND TECHNIQUES: A SHORT HISTORY OF PRINTMAKING

The Lowe Art Museum, in partnership with the Department of Art and Art History at UM, has launched a new exhibition program, ArtLab @ The Lowe, which provides hands-on museum experience to UM students, who curate a museum exhibition from the conceptual stage to the final installation. The inaugural exhibition, Trends and Techniques: A Short History of Printmaking, showcases woodcuts, engravings, and etchings from the Lowe’s collection, and serves as an introduction to the history of printmaking in the western tradition. The first half of the exhibition is dominated by European masters from the 17th-19th centuries, while the second half includes modern masters and a survey of student and instructor work from the University of Miami. Curated by the students of ARH 508, under the direction of Associate Art History Professor Rebecca Brienen.The ArtLab series is generously sponsored by Stella M. Holmes .

TREE OF PARADISE: JEWISH MOSAICS FROM THE ROMAN EMPIRE

From the Brooklyn Museum’s permanent collection, twelve rarely-seen, extraordinary mosaic panels from the sanctuary floor of a Roman-period synagogue excavated in present-day Tunisia are the keystones of an important exhibition that explores ancient Roman and Jewish history. Nine additional mosaics from other rooms in the synagogue and nearby buildings further illuminate the development of synagogue decoration in the late Roman Empire. Related artifacts, such as contemporaneous textiles, marble statues, gold jewelry, and bronze ritual objects, are included. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum.

CUBA AVANT-GARDE: CONTEMPORARY CUBAN ART FROM THE FARBER COLLECTION (Green/FOA)
Large scale paintings, sculpture, drawings, photographs, and mixed media works highlight the cultural mixing, aesthetic diversity, and critical voice that reflect international contemporary art, but emerge from the distinct circumstances of Cuba itself. Forty Cuban born artists who live in and outside of Cuba use subtle devices of irony, metaphor, and ambiguity to challenge accepted artistic and political discourse, while employing a rich variety of experimental, conceptual, and postmodern strategies. A fully illustrated bilingual publication accompanies the exhibition. Organized by the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and toured by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions (CATE), Pasadena, California.
