ULLA VON BRANDENBURG: IN DIALOGUE
Discover the intersection of abstraction and spatial exploration in Ulla von Brandenburg: In Dialogue. A new exhibition at The Bass Museum of Art, running from September 4, 2024, to July 6, 2025, from noon to 5:00 pm. This July month experience thoughtfully curated presentation pairs works by German-born, Paris-based artist Ulla von Brandenburg with a newly acquired ceramic mural. Mural by Lebanese-American artist Etel Adnan. Additionally, offering a cross-generational dialogue on geometric abstraction and the interplay of art and environment.
Von Brandenburg’s multidisciplinary practice spans film, textiles, watercolors and sound. Creating immersive installations that reimagine themes such as modernist architecture, psychoanalysis, occultism and Hollywood Cinema. Her work is complemented by Adnan’s monumental 14 × 21-foot mural, Untitled (2023). Consequently, this reflects the late artist’s enduring interest in architecture and lyrical color fields. Together, these pieces engage in a visual and thematic conversation. Enriched by references to the pioneering abstraction of Ukrainian-born French artist Sonia Delaunay.
The exhibition transforms Adnan’s mural into both a central protagonist and a theatrical backdrop within von Brandenburg’s scenographic installations. In Dialogue invites visitors to reflect on the artists’ shared fascination with geometry, social space and the built environment.
JOSE PARLA: HOMECOMING
Witness the art and resilience of José Parlá in Homecoming, his first solo museum exhibition in Miami, on view at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) from November 14 through July 6. from Fri-Mon: 11:00 am – 6:00 pm and Thu: 11:00 am – 9:00pm. This deeply personal exhibition explores Parlá’s Cuban heritage, diasporic identity and dynamic mark-making process through a two-part presentation.
The first phase invites visitors to observe Parlá creating a site-specific mural live in the gallery, showcasing his gestural, movement-driven approach inspired by music, calligraphy, and urban architecture. The second phase transforms the gallery into a re-creation of Parlá’s studio, featuring paint-covered tables, archival memorabilia and a Cuban-inspired record collection, offering an intimate look at his artistic world.
Rooted in themes of resilience and self-discovery, the exhibition also highlights new works created after Parlá’s recovery from a life-threatening illness in 2021. Homecoming is a testament to the artist’s journey, connecting personal history, cultural identity, and creative expression in a compelling and immersive experience.
