Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), formerly Miami Art Museum, is Miami-Dade County's flagship museum presenting international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Museum's new state-of-the-art facility is now under construction and will open to the public in Downtown Miami's Museum Park alongside Biscayne Bay in December 2013. The new campus will feature a variety of gallery spaces, an education complex, an auditorium, a waterfront restaurant, and more.
Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) today announced the inaugural exhibition lineup for its new building, opening in Museum Park in December 2013. The wide-ranging roster of exhibitions examines the interpretation and appropriation of cultural and political identities, economic structures, and commodities generated by Miami’s diverse population and its position as a cross-cultural hub.
The selection and presentation of artists, collections, and commissioned projects for PAMM is guided by the Museum’s mission to create dialogues across and through local, regional, and international contexts and to emphasize artists and projects that engage with traditions from the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The curatorial program is also particularly attuned to the work of local artists and designers.
From focused exhibitions on the work of Cuban painter Amelia Peláez and Haitian born, Miami-based artist Edouard Duval-Carrié to thematic presentations of the Museum’s permanent collection to major retrospectives on artists Ai Weiwei and Beatriz Milhazes and group exhibitions on the exchange of ideas between the Caribbean basin, Europe, and North Africa, PAMM’s upcoming projects serve as critical frames through which larger dialogues about recent history, migration, new cultural formations, and diverse ideologies can be structured.
