Alternative Contemporaneities:Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ)
Opening Reception
Saturday, March 21, 7PM
This group exhibition builds on the work: Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ) by Hakim Bey (Peter Lamborn Wilson). The project is curated by Richard Haden.
TAZ “alludes to creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control…thus creating the foundation for authenticity and spontaneity”. Richard Haden proposes to articulate the exhibition through TAZ and the ways in which it has to do with recreating an “intentional community” (IC) which relates to how past communities purposefully organized in various forms as collectives, to succeed as small villages or townships, guilds, radical groups, et cetera, that eventually gave way to controlling socio-economic structures, which eventually led to the loss of authentic empowerment.
On view March 21 – May 30

Locally Sourced (January 24 – March 15, 2015), the first exhibition in the Do You Know Where Your Art Comes From? series, provides an in-depth look at the extensive collections of six regionally focused CSA (Community Supported Art) and Flat File programs that seek to grow recognition and support for artists in their communities.
The catalogue is here, published by Pérez Art Museum Miami, with texts contributed by Huey Copeland, Diana Nawi and Rebecca Zorach, designed by Mylinh Trieu Nguyen. ISBN:9780989854634
THIRD SPACE : Inventing The Possible
This visual story is one that has not yet been told. Not because there is no storyteller to tell it, but because it exists only in fragments each assuming its own autonomous existence removed from the constraints of mainstream history.
THIRD SPACE : Inventing the Possible is the story of visual artists who defy their otherness and enter the realm of 21st century aesthetics not only to lay their historic claim on it, but also to challenge the framework which defines and polices its boundaries. This exhibition engages Miami artists in their articulations of the lines of continuities. What comes out is that we do not cease to be related simply because separated by race, nationality or color.
