This event is free and open to the public.

Crome Yellow, an exhibition featuring works of art by graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) students from FIU’s School of Art + Art History. The BFA graduates will lead a tour of the gallery and discuss the concepts behind their works. Many of today’s internationally renowned artists first made their debuts at FIU’s student exhibitions, including Teresita Fernandez, María Martínez-Cañas and Monica Lopez de Victoria of the TM Sisters. Crome Yellow will be on view from April 23 through May 9, 2010.

Sound Image Sound returns to The Frost Art Museum with a new performance. The ensemble will explore new sounds with video projection on The Frost Art Museum’s exterior facade. Guest Artists include Kristine Burns, Orlando Jacinto Garcia, Eric Goldemberg, Jacek Kolasinski, Paula Matthusen, John Stuart and Daniel Viñoly, with additional performances by FLEA laptop ensemble and clarinetist Julian Santacoloma from the NODUS ensemble.

Also on view, Taiwan Discovered: In Place and Time; In Body and Soul: The Performance Art of María Teresa Hincapié; and Figurative Art – Past and Present: Highlights from the Permanent Collection.

Target has teamed up with The Frost Art Museum to sponsor an event series designed to complement The Frost’s exhibitions. These events give visitors the chance to meet contemporary artists and engage with controversial art, live music, talks, films, dance, and performance art, while providing an excellent opportunity to socialize with other people interested in the arts.
