Selection from exhibition: THE PRISONER'S DILEMMA

The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation is a non-profit organization supporting emerging and mid-career contemporary Latin American artists. This gallery exploded on the Miami scene during Art Basel 2002 and has kept our attention ever since. Visually unique; the outside walls of the Miami downtown space constructed of tiny green mosaic tiles soothingly evoking large bamboo stalks. (by Miami architect Rene Gonzalez)
Ella Fontanals-Cisneros began collecting works by artists from Latin America in 1970. The Collection consists of "pieces by risk-taking artists from around the world," in video art, installation and photography.
I have never been bored or unimpressed with CIFO's choices....always bringing new thoughts and images to disect and discuss.
Over the next week+++., please consider their selections of gallery exhibitions and film:
CURRENT EXHIBITION
The Prisoner's Dilemma: Selections from the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection
December 3, 2008 - March 1, 2009
Prisoner's Dilemma focuses on the artists contempletive interpretations of power in our modern world. As our own current universe is in a state of flux in a way unknown to present generations, it is a topic we are all addressing with grave thoughts and personal concern unprecedented in our lives. Take the time to attend the exhibition with a companion who can explore the worthwhile ideas and concerns this thoughtful presentation offers.
Artists have historically been a good barometer of a changing status.
