Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU and FIU CasaCuba collaborate on new exhibition
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU announces a new exhibition, The Lost Generation: Women Ceramicists and the Cuban Avant-Gard, presented by Cernuda Arte. On view through September 29, 2024, the exhibition examines the artistic output from 1949-1959 of the Taller de Santiago de las Vegas, a ceramic workshop on the outskirts of Havana. It focuses on the pioneering women ceramists and their contributions to the Cuban avant-garde movement.
"The Frost Art Museum has been a vibrant center for artistic expression across diverse cultures and backgrounds for many years,” said Miriam Machado, Interim Director of the Frost Art Museum. “It is a distinct honor to present remarkable exhibitions like The Lost Generation to a community that will deeply resonate with its themes. We look forward to our extensive programming offerings during the exhibition's run."
Following the trajectory of the Taller de Santiago de las Vegas to national and international notoriety, The Lost Generation presents ceramics and paintings by artists who were instrumental in the commercialization of fine art from Cuba. Featuring vases, mugs, water jugs, murals, and plates drawn from both private and gallery collections. The exhibition is first time many of the Taller’s finest ceramics will be on display in conversation with dozens of paintings by Peláez, Portocarrero, Lam, Martínez Pedro, Mariano, and others. Exhibitions like this one are what can be expected of FIU CasaCuba, instrumental in furthering the conversation of Cuban influence and culture.
"This exhibition is an example of the important, vibrant cultural and academic activations visitors can expect to see at CasaCuba,” said Lilli Bentacourt Space, Executive Director of CasaCuba. “FIU looks forward to many more collaborations between the Frost Art Museum and CasaCuba, sharing FIU’s cultural treasures and expertise with the community. We are enormously grateful to Cernuda Arte for their generosity and leadership in the Cuban art space."
The Frost Art Museum FIU will host an opening reception for The Lost Generation on June 29, 2024. For more information visit the Frost Art Museum’s website here.
