The museum also debuted a new exhibition showcasing its permanent collection and recent acquisitions gifted to the Frost for its 10th anniversary, titled Connectivity: Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum FIU. Both shows were curated by Amy Galpin, the Chief Curator, and are on view through September 30. The museum is located at 10975 S.W. 17 Street, on the campus of Florida International University. "Some say Miami's vibrant art scene can be overshadowed by the art fairs that descend upon our destination every December, and the question looms large: what is the real visual arts landscape like in Miami during the other 51 weeks of the year? As this city experiences a major growth boom, working artists in Miami have a broadening range of opportunities and challenges," said Dr. Jordana Pomeroy, the Director of the Frost Art Museum FIU.

  • Highlights of Available Works
    Highlights of Available Works TJ Ahearn Good Times Bad Times (Rolling Stones), 2018 Hand cut collage on vintage LP jacket with original vinyl 21 x 21 inches Framed Courtesy of the artist and lemon sky: projects + editions TJ Ahearn’s collages are created through a meticulous application of hand-cut imagery from both vintage and contemporary periodicals, books and other printed matter, which is glued onto the back of LP jackets. Most of the albums used date back to the 60s and 70s, and the original vinyl is included with the collaged piece. Ahearn creates imaginary environments through the inventive layering and juxtaposition of both banal and pop culture visual elements. The collages on view are from the artist's ongoing JUKEBOX series. TJ Ahearn lives and works between NYC and Miami. Ahearn attended School of Visual Arts in New York as well as both the University of Miami BFA Program and Miami Dade South Campus Fine Arts Program and Psychopolis Academy in the Netherlands. The work of TJ Ahearn is in many prestigious collections in the U.S. and abroad and has been exhibited at museums, galleries and art fairs internationally. Ahol Sniffs Glue Malt Liquor is Thicker Than Water, 2016 40 oz bottle, hot glue, and spray paint Courtesy of the artist Ahol, whose raw yet instantly recognizable street murals evaporate the divide between high and low art, often jumbles disparate themes from mass media, popular culture and marginalized pockets of society. He often draws inspiration from the urban environment and systems of society which dehumanize its inhabitants.
