Exhibitions

The Museum’s exhibition program features solo and group exhibitions by local, national, and international artists, with an emphasis on originality and on presenting work by a broad and diverse range of practitioners. The program seeks to bring innovative contemporary art to South Florida and beyond, fostering connections across communities and expanding cultural horizons. Exhibitions are organized by the MoCAA curatorial team, partner institutions, and guest curators working across the visual arts. Exhibitions typically remain on view for approximately 45 days, although shorter presentations of seven to fifteen days may be scheduled when the nature or requirements of particular works prevent them from being exhibited for the standard period.
‍
Pop-Up Exhibitions are conceived as a distinct strand of the Museum’s programming, created to introduce the community to the widest possible range of local artists and to provide them with opportunities to exhibit their work during the regular exhibition season.

A 7 Plus One Project: Hidden Realities in Human Feelings

The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas is committed to fostering artistic dialogue and cultural exchange through exhibitions that highlight the richness and diversity of contemporary art. In this spirit, our upcoming exhibition brings together fourteen artists whose work explores abstraction in its many forms. While they hail from different countries, these artists—except for one based in Bilbao—have made Miami their home, contributing to the city's dynamic creative landscape. This exhibition not only showcases their individual artistic voices but also underscores the role of abstraction as a universal language that transcends borders and traditions.

Curated by Pedro Hernández

Since its emergence in the early twentieth century, abstract art has remained one of the most radical and influential currents in modern art history. Born from a deliberate break with figurative representation, abstraction has allowed artists to delve into new forms, colors, and compositions that transcend the tangible, evoking emotions, concepts, and structures beyond the visible. Movements such as Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism, the Abstract Expressionism of postwar New York, and the rich tradition of Geometric Abstraction in Latin America have shaped the evolution of this artistic language, which continues to inspire exploration and reinvention. In the United States, abstraction experienced a profound creative surge in the aftermath of World War II with the rise of Abstract Expressionism, led by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. New York became the epicenter of this artistic revolution, eclipsing Paris as the capital of contemporary art. Since then, abstraction has continued to evolve through various currents, drawing from minimalism, lyrical abstraction, and conceptual art, reaffirming its enduring significance in the global artistic landscape.
