Transitions and Transformations

Transitions and Transformations transforms Remember to React, the previous installation of NSU Art Museum’s collection, with the addition of new acquisitions, other works from the collection and works on loan to the Museum. The exhibition will continue to change over the course of the year as works are added and removed. Many works incorporate the element of time or suggest the passing of time. Others represent physical transformations, as well as turning points in the history of contemporary art.

Artworks from the collection include those by: Cecily Brown, Elaine de Kooning, Teresita Fernandez, Theaster Gates, Genevieve Gaignard, Phillip Guston, Christian Holstad, Jim Lambe, Glenn Ligon, Zanele Muholi, Catherine Opie, Zilia Sanchez, Andres Serrano, Cindy Sherman, Mickalene Thomas, Michael Vasquez and others. Among the works on loan is Cookie’s Doll, one of Julian Schnabel’s early broken plate paintings. Transitions and Transformations is curated by NSU Art Museum Director and Chief Curator Bonnie Clearwater.

Exhibitions and programs at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale are made possible in part by a challenge grant from the David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation. Funding is also provided by Nova Southeastern University, Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council and Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture. NSU Art Museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
