DIRECTOR’S VIEW
Dear MemberS,
Whenever the doors of an art museum open, so do minds. Art, like literature,
challenges and inspires the mind and spirit. Students of every age see,
experience and learn new ways of viewing and interpreting the world
around them. As a professor of art and art history, I have seen firsthand the
power of art education to turn students into students of the world.
The opening of the new Frost Art Museum building is a pivotal moment
in our history as an institution. The sheer beauty of the structure, the years
of design and construction and the contributions of those who made it
possible make for an event well worth celebrating.
Dr. Carol Damian
Yet, this grand moment for the Frost and Florida International University will
soon be overshadowed many times over by the greater impact of the museum
on our community.
For the first time, residents of Miami-Dade County, particularly students of
all ages, cultures and economic backgrounds will have access to a world-class
museum building featuring significant exhibitions and outstanding programs
at no cost. Admission to the Frost Art Museum at FIU and its exhibitions is
free. The potential impact on the lives of FIU students and children across
Miami-Dade County is limitless. Our generous donors and members have
allowed us to offer the priceless gifts of both art and education. They believe
this community is a worthwhile investment. Access to major art exhibitions
and programming, especially in these lean economic times, is a gift of which
we are proud.
Since its opening in 1977, the Frost, previously known as The Art Museum
at FIU, has never charged admission. Part of the mission of the Frost
is to “enrich and educate the university and local communities as well
as national and international audiences through the universal language
of art. The Frost Art Museum contributes to the goals of FIU and its
commitment to educate students, provide service to the community and
promote greater understanding by collecting, preserving, presenting and
interpreting a broad range of art from around the world.” We do not take
this mission lightly. The Frost is the only art museum in western Miami-
Dade, an area long underserved by cultural institutions.
As we open our doors to a new era in our history, we look forward to
seeing you, our members and donors, inside the building you made
possible. We also hope to share this experience with other members of our
local community, students, faculty and visitors from around the country
and the world. The Frost belongs to all of us.

Carlos Estevéz
Feminologia Practica, 2005
Mixed media assemblage, 49 1/2” x 37 7/8” x 4”
Gift of Pan American Art Projects
Born in Havana, the Miami artist is known for symbolic
work, combining myth and reality, as he presents people
as hybrids, part human, part machine and sometimes
part bird. Inspired by themes of freedom, knowledge and
human existence, his work is based on elements from
alchemy, botanical and mechanical drawings.
Thornton Dial
Lady Know How to Hold the Jungle
Mixed media assemblage, 47 1/4” x 59 1/4”
Gift of Richard Levine, AIA
Born in 1928, this self-taught artist began making art after
his retirement. Dial worked as a steelworker, welder carpenter
and a bricklayer around Bessemer, AL, before deciding to
create for his own enjoyment. He was soon discovered by the
art world and showing his work at galleries and museums,
including The New Museum in New York and the Whitney
Biennial. His art uses African and American traditions to tell
stories, functioning as folktales.
Richard Levine and Jose Calderin also donated a large
collection of works by a number of artists including 35
drawings by Purvis Young and prints by 50 renowned
artists including Picasso and Matisse.
Aramis O’Reilly
Providence, 1998
Graphite drawing on canvas, 12” x 18”
Gift of Susana and Yann Weymouth
in honor of Patricia Frost
The critic Juan Espinosa has described O’Reilly’s art as
providing “the traditional visual elements of drawing and
painting with scenic, kinetic and musical components.”
Born in Havana, he has had his work exhibited in
museums, galleries and public spaces. A Cintas fellow,
O’Reilly attended the University of Connecticut and
received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Florida
International University. He teaches painting and drawing
at the New World School of the Arts in Miami.

Charles Ginnever
Fourth Bridge, 1979
Corten steel, 116” x 240” x 72”
Gift of Gloria and Leonard Luria
in honor of Patricia Frost
In the 1960s and ’70s, Ginnever was a pioneer in the
revival of outdoor sculpture and public art in America.
Best known for his large-scale geometric abstractions in
steel which display an intentional patina of rust, Ginnever
came to maturity as a sculptor in 1960s New York. He
characteristically explores the tension between optical
illusions and sculptural reality in his large open form
welded metal constructions.
Steve Tobin
Steelroots, 2008
Steel with white patina, 144” x 336” x 144”
Steve Tobin
Steelroots, 2008
Steel with rust patina, 180” x 240” x 192”
Long-term loan from the artist
Tobin’s Steelroots are an evolution of his signature bronze
Walking Roots series, which culminated in the first and
only 9/11 memorial near Ground Zero. Trinity Root, the
massive bronze casting/sculpture is known for being the
“tree that saved St. Paul’s Chapel” during the World Trade
Center attack.
In 2007, Tobin’s Steelroots was one of 40 sculptures
chosen for the City of New York’s “40 Years of Art in the
Parks” retrospective, gracing the entrance to Prospect
Park in Brooklyn. Tobin is known for turning aspects of
nature into sculpture. His work has been shown at the
American Museum of Natural History and the American
Craft Museum.
The sculptures join other Tobin works, Bone Wall,
Walking Roots, and Forest Floor, on loan since 2003.

MODERN
MASTERS
FROM THE
SMITHSONIAN
AMERICAN
ART MUSEUM
Nathan Oliveira, Nineteen Twenty-Three, 1961,

Smithsonian American Art Museum
The Frost Art Museum is the first stop on a national tour for
Modern Masters from the Smithsonian American Art Museum,
which features more than 30 artists who transformed
American art in the years after World War II. The exhibition
includes five pieces donated to the Smithsonian by Patricia
and Phillip Frost in 1986, including works by Josef Albers
and Hans Hofmann.
In this important show, Virginia Mecklenburg, senior
curator for the Smithsonian American Art Museum,
chronicles the emergence of postwar abstraction, and
Abstract Expressionism in particular, from the mid-1940s
through its “triumph” in the late 1950s.
Richard Diebenkorn and Nathan Oliveira in California,
immigrants Hans Hofmann and Louise Nevelson, New
Yorkers Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell, and many
more explored powerful color and the nuance of line as
they sought to express what it meant to live in the midtwentieth
century. Some were friends who dropped by each
other’s studios, attended each other’s openings, and then
retired to bars and restaurants to talk about art. Others
never met, but knew of the paintings and sculptures created
by their colleagues from reports in the press.
Some of the artists, among them Seymour Lipton
and Theodore Roszak, probed the dark side of man’s
unconscious. Sam Francis and Adolph Gottlieb explored the
mysteries of space. Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell
captured the color and light of the natural landscape;
Romare Bearden and Larry Rivers explored meaning in
family and community. Others, including Josef Albers, Ad
Reinhardt and Esteban Vicente, tested the nature of human
perception. They all experimented, reversed course, refined
and readjusted to capture the thoughts, feelings and moods
of America during the Cold War.
Exhibition runs through March 1, 2009.

SIMULACRA AND ESSENCE:
THE PAINTINGS OF LUISA BASNUEVO
Florencio Gelabert:
INTERSECTIONS
Luisa Basnuevo, The Other Side of The River, 2006, Oil on canvas,
66 x 80 inches, Courtesy of the Artist
Luisa Maria Basnuevo’s solo exhibition was the first to hang
in the new Frost Art Museum, an emotional event for both
Basnuevo and the show’s curator, Jim Couper, founder
of the Frost and Basnuevo’s former painting professor.
Basnuevo was one of the first graduates of FIU’s BFA
program and received a Betty Laird Perry Student Award in
1988 upon her graduation. She went on to receive her MFA
in painting and printmaking from Yale University in 1991.
“Luisa has had numerous solo shows, participated in
many group exhibitions, has had her work placed in
prestigious collections, and has been the subject of
dozens of reviews and articles,” Couper said. “Her art is
rich, mysterious and compelling…”
Simulacra and Essence presents recent works from her
series of large-scale paintings inspired by eucalyptus
seeds she collected in Spain.
“As the title of this exhibition suggests, each canvas is a
synthesis of ideas and images,” says independent curator
Mark Ormond. “In her investigation of the formal issues
of painting, Basnuevo has creatively appropriated shapes
and forms from the real world to become vehicles for her
study, as well as material for discourse about her imagined
terrain. Basnuevo’s intuitive combination of referential
elements and process on the same picture plane endows
her paintings with energy of anticipation…”
Exhibition runs through April 4, 2009.
Florencio Gelabert, Birth, 2008, Plywood, Styrofoam, aquaresin, soil, artificial
plant and flowers, 6’ x 3’ x 1’
Florencio Gelabert’s environmentally-based installation
Intersections illustrates the diverse nature of his oeuvre,
from sculptures to video. The new show is comprised
of two large-scale sculptures, Birth (2008) and Column
Tree (2008), made in Gelabert’s characteristic style and a
video loop Cycle (2008).
Birth comes from a recent series of works in which
the artist combines artificial elements extracted from
the real world and his own creations. The result is the
creation of a dramatic fantasy supplemented with a title
that gives the work a figurative reference to the uterus.
Column Tree is comprised of tree trunks made in aquaresin,
burlap, gauze and PVC mirror panels, vertically forming
a 12-foot high column supported by a steel structure. The
mirrors are arranged as if they were cutting the trunk’s
surface from different angles as the spectator walks around
the piece, constantly changing the perspective.
In Cycle, Gelabert is interested in transcending traditional
notions of sculpture by expanding its definition of threedimensionality
into a multi-media video.
Exhibition runs through February 28, 2009.

Collection
JOHN HENRY’s
Drawing in Space:
THE PENINSULA PROJECT ILLUSTRATED
Head of an Oba, early 19th century, West Africa, Late Benin Kingdom
Bronze, 16.5 x 11 x 13 inches
For thousands of years, every culture across the world has
paid homage to the human body. Today, in a world of vastly
expanded knowledge of physical life, artists go beyond the
simple representation of the human body by relating it,
by analogy, to all structures that have become part of our
imaginative and intellectual experience.
This exhibition showcases the similarities and differences
among the traditional cultures of Asia, Africa, Europe and
the Americas, and honors the achievements of the men
and women we now call artists. Many of them were not
artists in the contemporary sense, but rather magicians,
shamans, priests and anonymous servitors of a higher
authority. This selection is meant to introduce the viewer to
the rich traditions associated with figurative representation,
real and imagined, human and animal, and the often
fantastic combinations of both. By casting wide temporal
and geographic nets, the exhibits show the cross-cultural
influences so relevant today, especially in the Miami area.
This selection represents only a small number of works
in The Frost Art Museum’s collection of more than
6,000 pieces of art.
Exhibition runs through 2010.
Image courtesy the Peninsula Project
This exhibition highlights the process and concept
behind Drawing in Space: The Peninsula Project, which
incorporates large scale sculpture into the Florida
landscape. Henry specifically chose Florida for its
peninsular shape which creates a unique geographic
environment. Each individual sculpture invites the viewer
to see the next, thus experiencing a new part of Florida.
This is not only an art exhibition but a way to provide
a deeper connection between the viewer, the cities and
the sculptures that encourages exploration of the natural
beauty of Florida. Along with each outdoor installation, a
local museum partner hosts an accompanying exhibition.
The Frost presents the signature exhibition for the
project: Peninsula Project Illustrated and showcases all nine
monumental works in the seven participating Florida
cities. With models of the sculpture and large photographs
of the pieces set in their various landscapes, the show will
illustrate the artist’s unprecedented use of the Florida
peninsula as his canvas.
Exhibition runs through March 9, 2009.

ANDREW REACH:
FULL CIRCLE
Xavier Cortada
THE FOUR ELEMENTS
Andrew Reach, There’s No Place to Hide, 2008, Edition 3 of 3, 40” x 70”
Andrew Reach was working as an architect, helping
to design the new Frost Art Museum, when his career
ended because of a crippling spinal disease. In an effort
to transcend his pain and physical limitations, he turned
his creative energies to art. Lacking the strength to
paint, Reach ultimately created large-format computergenerated
images. Reach’s love for painters Larry Rivers,
Jackson Pollock, and other mid-twentieth century
American artists inspired him to fuse the Abstract
Expressionist’s aesthetic with his interest in Eastern
traditions, Islamic art and African patterns. Reach’s
conception of vertebral structures and cellular forms
evolved as he created images through which viewers
might obtain a brief glimpse into the effects of his
debilitating physical condition.
With its ability to heal, art provided Reach the means to
transcend his pain and limitations and exist in a space
free of their constraints. With this exhibition, Reach has
brought his career full circle by showing his work at the
Frost: the beautiful and innovative structure he helped
design at the close of his architectural career.
Exhibition runs through April 4, 2009.

One of the first sights to greet visitors to FIU’s new
Frost Art Museum is a stunning 40-foot tapestry created
by celebrated Miami artist Xavier Cortada. The piece
entitled “aer” or air, which hangs in the museum’s
soaring atrium, is the first of four commissioned works
that the artist describes as “digital tapestries.” The
works are inspired by the four elements of water, air,
fire and earth, and will be rotated throughout the year.
Cortada’s work was chosen from among 80 artists who
submitted proposals to the Frost for an installation as
part of the state Art in Public Buildings Program.
“The piece is breath-taking,” said Carol Damian, director
and chief curator of the Frost. “Along with our beautiful
building, this work makes quite a first impression.”
Cortada says that the tapestries, composed in striking
colors that relate to each element, suggest “that if we
look more closely at our surroundings, there are new
worlds to discover. Indeed, inside the museum, there
are works by artists who strive to push boundaries to
further human understanding.”

HOW WE
GOT HERE
MOVING FORWARD LOOKING BACK
As the Frost Art Museum steps into the future with the debut of its
new building, it is with a sense of history. Years from now, visitors
will find it hard to imagine that this major cultural institution
began as a small university gallery in the lone building on a fledgling
campus. A look back at its 31-year history reveals that the gallery
became a museum through vision, leadership and sheer force of will.
Jim Couper, founder of the original Visual Arts Gallery, and Director
Emerita Dahlia Morgan, who transformed the gallery into a major art
museum, created the institution we now know as The Frost. Couper’s
initial vision and Morgan’s passion changed the landscape of FIU
and Miami. In this special section, they tell us how it all happened,
bridging the past and present.

JIM COUPER:
THE NEW
FROST BUILT
ON FOUNDER’s
VISION
As a visual arts professor and a painter, Jim Couper
has influenced the lives and careers of thousands of
students and art lovers for nearly 40 years. In the
course of doing his work with his characteristic passion,
and easy plain-spoken Southern style, he also achieved
one of his greatest accomplishments. Couper founded
the Frost Art Museum.
More than 30 years later, his initial
vision and direction still define the
Frost, and is arguably responsible for its
tremendous success over the years.
What was that vision?
The museum opened in 1977 as
the Visual Arts Gallery at FIU, a
2,800-square-foot gallery. (It was
renamed the Art Museum at FIU four
years later, and renamed in honor
of donors Patricia & Phillip Frost in
2003.) Couper’s focus was securing
exhibitions of work by major artists,
while building a teaching arm for the
art department.
Although his mission was also
to develop a solid link to the art
department, “the museum was never
exclusively designed conceptually to
be a student exhibition place,” Couper
said. “I insisted there be a programmatic
link between the museum and the
department. It’s a teaching component
in that sense and an educational
component in a larger sense. It’s
a critical element to the whole art
experience at FIU.”
Carol Damian, director and chief curator
at the Frost and former chairperson of
the School of Art and Art History, credits
Couper with much more.
“It was Jim Couper who had the
original vision to create a museum that
would also serve as an introduction
to a professional career in the arts,”
she said. “Students could see art,
study techniques, talk to artists and
understand the entire gallery process,
things not readily available to our
students in South Florida. They could
participate in the entire experience
of being an artist. It was really the
beginning of our very successful BFA
and MFA programs that prepare
students as artists and as qualified
members of the art world.”
Successful artist Luisa Basnuevo was
Couper’s student. His instruction and

mentoring helped her to overcome her
shyness and fear as an artist. An early
graduate of FIU’s Bachelor of Fine Arts
Program, Basnuevo went on to receive
her Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale
University. Her exhibition Simulacra
and Essence: The Paintings of Luisa
Basnuevo, with Couper as curator, is the
first to hang in the new museum. The
show is on view in the Betty Laird Perry
Student Gallery.
“He has a good way of talking
about a student’s work without
harshness…and telling you
how you can improve the work,”
BASNUEVO said.
A native of Atlanta, Couper moved
to Florida to attend Florida State
University where he majored in
painting. He came to Miami in 1963 to
begin his teaching career in Humanities
at the University of Miami. He taught
part-time at Miami-Dade Community
College and was artist in residence at
the former Miami Art Center.
When FIU opened its doors in 1972,
Couper was hired as a painting professor
by the founder of the university’s art
department, Frank Wyroba, who knew
of Couper’s success as a teacher. Couper
felt extremely fortunate to land the job.
“A lot of artists wanted that position.
FIU was a hot new place,” Couper said.
Museum founder Jim Couper, Director Carol Damian
and Luisa Basnuevo enjoy the moment after the
installation of Basnuevo’s exhibition, Simulacra and
Essence: The Paintings of Luisa Basnuevo. The
exhibition, curated by Couper, was the first to hang in
the new museum building.
“I was the lucky one.”
During the interview, Wyroba asked
Couper if he would be willing to
establish the museum and assume the
directorship. Couper agreed.
When Couper signed on, FIU’s total
enrollment was 5,000 students, and
the campus had only one building, the
Primera Casa or PC building. FIU was
still a two-year college using trailers for
classrooms.
“Despite the absence of infrastructure,
there was a great deal of excitement
about what the university and the art
department could become, Couper said.
The Visual Arts Gallery found a home
on the first floor of the Primera Casa
building, PC 112, where the museum
remained until May 2008.
Couper’s first exhibition, Contemporary
Latin American Drawings, included
work by such internationally known
artists as Fernando Botero and Claudio
Bravo. This important show set the
standard for the gallery. Three years
after its opening, the museum was up
and running with both cutting edge
exhibitions and the clearly defined
role as an educational component for
the art department that Couper had
envisioned. For him, it was time to go.
“My heart was in my creative work and
in the teaching profession,” he said.
Couper supported the choice of Dahlia
Morgan as his successor, ushering in a new
era of success that furthered the operations
and mission he had set in place.
As the Frost debuts its new building
and major exhibitions including Modern
Masters from the Smithsonian American
Art Museum, Couper is gratified, but
hardly on the sidelines. He is still
painting and curating.
‘It’s the finest university museum
in the state, and one of the best in
the country…” Couper said.
“It’s a very satisfying moment for me to
see what is happening today – and to
have played a role in that.”

DAHLIA MORGAN:
PORTRAIT
OF A LIFE
IN ART
Before there was Art Basel Miami Beach, the Wynwood art
district or the countless other venues that bring art to Miami,
there was Dahlia Morgan. When people in Miami’s art community
think of the Frost Art Museum at FIU, they inevitably think of
her. For nearly 30 years, Morgan infused the Frost with
her style and flair as a trail-blazing art maven, and in the
process became a local art institution in her own right.
As visitors and members of the Frost
explore its new building, they will find
the Dahlia Morgan Members’ Lounge,
a tranquil space overlooking the pond at
the rear of the building and the campus
beyond – a tribute to the woman who
took a small university gallery and
developed one of South Florida’s best
museums. It is a fitting tribute, given
Morgan’s commitment to Frost members
and to building a loyal membership base
over the years.
“A museum’s strength lies in its members
– their faith in its leadership and belief
in what’s possible,” said Carol Damian,
director and chief curator of the Frost.
“Dahlia understood that.”
Morgan’s passion for art, characteristic
drive and zeal made her the top choice to
lead the Frost when founder Jim Couper
decided to return to teaching in 1980.
“Dahlia was the right person at the right
time,” Couper said.
Four years after Morgan became director,
the original gallery space had evolved
from the Visual Arts Gallery to the Art
Museum at FIU. For long-time members
of the gallery, it was not just the cuttingedge
exhibitions Morgan brought to
Miami, but her passion and excitement
that first attracted them to a small gallery
located in what was then viewed as the
hinterlands of the county.
“Before you knew it you were talking to
people and telling them to join,” said
Connoisseur member and long-time
friend, Lois Rukeyser. “She made the
membership grow to an unbelievable
amount of people who followed her.”
Rukeyser believes that member loyalty
to Morgan and to the institution over
so many years reveals the most about
Dahlia’s work as director.
“You stay because you feel the dedication
in what you’re getting back,” she said.
“That should tell you something.”

Morgan remembers that the first
members of the museum were actually
part of a group of friends and art
enthusiasts who were attracted to the
exhibitions and speakers.
“They came to me and said we want
to establish a Friends group for the
museum,” she said. They held an
informal reception and the museum’s
membership base was born.
“It was an adventure,” Morgan
says of her years as director.
“You had to be beyond
entrepreneurial… I had three
jobs – director, chief curator
and fundraiser.”
“We had a great vision as a group,”
she says of her staff. “We were a tiny
band of loyal and determined people for
many years.”
Morgan sought and received museum
accreditation from the American
Association of Museums (AAM) in
1999. Just two years later, in 2001, at
her urging, the entire university signed
an agreement with the Smithsonian
Institution that provides use of
Smithsonian resources and institutions.
The affiliation between the two was the
first of its kind in the United States.
Under her direction, the museum has
given Miami more than 200 exhibitions
attracting varied audiences and respect
from local and international critics.
Exhibitions of work by Alfred Stieglitz,
Marcel Duchamp, Louise Bourgeois,
and others which at that time were only
presented in New York and Europe, were
a triumph for Morgan and the museum
at FIU. In addition, the museum was
one of the first to highlight the works of
young Latin American artists including
Agustin Fernandez, at a time when they
were just beginning to be well known.
The museum garnered recognition
with its important exhibitions as well
as its programs.
With the Steven & Dorothea Green
Critics’ Lecture Series, Morgan brought
to South Florida some of the best
and brightest in the art world. This
series has introduced Miami to such
distinguished lecturers as Michael
Graves, Philippe de Montebello, Claes
Oldenburg, George Segal, Robert
Hughes and many other famed artists,
museum curators, scholars and critics.
“You had to get there early or you wouldn’t
get a seat,” Rukeyser said. They were
free to anyone in the city, and they were
outstanding. Tom Wolfe, Art Spiegelman
John Richardson…Where would you ever
get an opportunity to do that? In New
York you have to pay for everything.”
Not only did Morgan bring important
critics and art world luminaries to the
Frost, she became a popular speaker with
her own lecture series, the Dahlia Morgan
Lecture Series, for members. The series
gave members a chance to increase their
knowledge of art and art history.
“Dahlia has been my teacher and my
mentor,” said Patricia Strawgate, a
Connoisseur and one of the first museum
members. “I have learned more from
Dahlia than from all my humanities
classes in college.”
However, despite all of these
accomplishments the museum lacked
the space to exhibit larger pieces and
shows and to store its growing permanent
collection. Morgan’s dream was to build a
stand-alone museum, and she worked to
raise the necessary funding. A gift from
Patricia and Phillip Frost set the project
on its way. In 2003, the museum was
renamed in their honor, and construction
began in 2004.
“It was her vision, her input
into every aspect of its
design and construction,
and her extraordinary gift
for convincing others to get
involved and give substantial
donations,” Damian said.
“Dahlia Morgan is our Director Emerita,”
Damian added, “but that honorary title
really does not do justice to describe her
years of work as director that culminated
in this amazing building. ”

LECTURE SERIES
STEVEN & DOROTHEA GREEN
CRITICS’ LECTURE SERIES
ROBERT ADANTO
Robert Adanto’s provocative film
The Rising Tide was screened at
the Frost Art Museum October
22nd, and on October 24th,
Adanto talked about the making
of the film at the Green Library
auditorium. He appeared as the
first speaker of the season for the
Frost’s Steven & Dorothea Green
Critics’ Lecture Series.
The film navigates the complex
cultural, political and economic
landscape artists face in the
newly awakening China. The
Rising Tide investigates China’s
meteoric march toward the
future through some of its most
talented emerging artists, whose
work reflects the country’s rising
influence as an economic,
political and cultural force in
the global arena.
Adanto said he chose China’s
visual artists to tell the story of
China’s rise, because “I knew I
needed to find individuals whose
lives had been transformed by this
great social stirring.”
“There was this epic tale
unfolding in this enigmatic land
of contradictions… and it was
escaping the notice of most
Westerners,” Adanto said.
“I wanted to change that.”

TARGET SPONSORS POPULAr FROST SERIES
Target has teamed up with the Frost Art Museum in sponsoring the
museum’s popular educational series Wednesday After Hours. The Frost
and Target will kick off the new Target Wednesday After Hours on January
7th, at 7pm. The series, which will take place on the first Wednesday
evening of every month, is designed to complement the museum’s
exhibitions with events including music and dance performances, films,
lectures, panel discussions, poetry slams and performance art. All of the
events are free and open to the public.
One of the Frost’s core community outreach programs, the series aims to
engage FIU students and faculty and the local community in a multifaceted
approach to the arts, said Carol Damian, director and chief curator.
“Target shares our commitment to increasing access to the arts, and this
partnership is an ideal way to foster an artistic culture on campus and in
the community.”
Target also signed on to help the Frost celebrate the opening of its new
building by sponsoring a barbecue for Student Day at the new museum,
Wednesday, December 3rd.
“We are grateful for Target’s generous commitment to sponsor the 2009
series as well as the student celebration during this important week in our
history,” Damian said.
Through Target Wednesday After Hours, the Frost would like to inspire
an integrated approach to the arts among students and members of the
community who might not typically take advantage of FIU’s many cultural
resources, including the museum. The museum will partner with FIU
academic units such as the College of Business Administration and the
Honors College for each event.

Breakfast in the Park
FEATURES JOEL SHAPIRO
The sixth annual Breakfast in the Park, the Frost’s
signature event during Art Basel Miami Beach, features
renowned modernist sculptor Joel Shapiro December
7th. This year, the event will culminate more than a
week of opening events for the new Frost Art Museum,
beginning November 29th. Visitors can also see
two pieces of Shapiro’s work on loan from the Pace
Wildenstein Gallery in New York City. The pieces are on
display in the Sculpture Park.
Breakfast in the Park has become a destination for hundreds of visitors to
Art Basel Miami Beach each year. They enjoy an elegant complimentary
outdoor breakfast, a lecture by an acclaimed sculptor, tours of the
Sculpture Park and a look at current exhibitions at the museum.
In Shapiro’s elegant works, human moods and movement are reduced to a
geometric essence that is open to the viewer’s perception and speculation.
As you walk around each sculpture, the changing vantage points offer
views of the work that look very different.
Since his first one-person exhibition in 1970, Shapiro’s work has been
the subject of more than 100 solo exhibitions and retrospectives. His
sculptures have been regularly included in prestigious group exhibitions
such as the Whitney Biennial, Documenta in Germany and the Venice
Biennale. Commissions and publicly sited sculptures by Shapiro are
located in major Asian, European and North American cities including
the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and
a major plaza in the city of Orleans, France. His work is also in more
than 80 public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Los Angeles County Museum
of Art, Centre Georges Pompidou, Tate Gallery, National Gallery of Art,
Walker Art Center and Philadelphia Museum of Art.
He lives and works in New York City.

KENAN-FLAGLER
DISCOVERY GALLERY
COMING IN SPRING 2009...
A centerpiece of the new Frost Art
Museum, the Kenan-Flagler Family
Discovery Gallery will welcome
families, students and guests with
art activities designed to educate
and entertain children. A generous
gift of the William R. Kenan Jr.
Charitable Trust, this interactive
gallery is grounded in the belief
that hands-on art activities help
children learn.
Children will explore interactive
stations where they can use a
touch screen monitor to create a
self portrait, design patterns using
the theory of positive and negative
space, experience the printmaking
process through a series of
rubbings on low relief metal
shapes and manipulate images
on a computer to create their own
works of art. Some activities will
encourage individual exploration,
while others will require group
interaction. Some will encourage
physical activity and others quiet
contemplation.
The gallery will add a new dimension
to the museum visit, and provide a
powerful experience for parents and
children working together.

ART OF GIVING
THE FROST ART MUSEUM GALLERIES
Frost Founders Use Galleries as Their Canvas
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to the donors of the named spaces, who not only
gave their time and financial resources, but great thought to endowing these beautiful galleries
with a greater meaning and purpose beyond just building materials.
Their contributions support art education, student and emerging artists and greater awareness
of the healing arts and the state of the environment. Some donors wanted to honor the
commitment and legacy of our Director Emerita Dahlia Morgan, while others wanted to provide
classrooms and state-of-the-art technology.
These special individuals are all Frost Founders who chose to use their galleries as a
canvas to help create a better community, and we salute them.

We know that exposure to art and art education challenges and motivates
children. The Kenan-Flagler Family Discovery Gallery offers children the
chance to create their own exhibitions. The Frost also offers Art Smart, a
program designed for 5th graders. It includes a tour of the Sculpture Park
at FIU and engaging art activities. Art Smart: Figures, a spin-off of the
original, was inspired by the Frost exhibition, Figurative Art Past and Present:
Highlights from the Permanent Collection. Students receive a tour of the
exhibition and participate in a collaborative learning art activity. The program
takes students on a journey through time and place as they learn about
history, cultures and customs through artwork from around the globe.
You get an excellent return on
your investment.
Your support is a gift to you and your community. The Frost Art Museum is
the only museum in South Florida that charges no admission. Why is this
important? People in our community who might not have access to an art
museum – particularly young people – can visit and learn at no cost.
