NSU Art Museum Now Home to ‘Surrounded Islands’ Project

Surrounding Islands

The “Surrounding Islands”

NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale will premiere in February 2025 its first exhibition of “Surrounded Islands” from the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, which includes more than 43 preparatory drawings and collages created by Christo.

The exhibit also includes photographs and photo murals, engineering surveys, environmental studies, permits, correspondence, original components such as sections of the pink fabric, scale models and other archival documents that trace the history of the project.

Following the deaths of the artist duo, Christo V. Javacheff in 2020 and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, in 2009, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale was chosen as guardian of the archive for the landmark installation, “Surrounded Islands: Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, Florida, 1980-83.”

The exhibition elevates the museum to a new level of worldwide significance.

“Between shows that explore important artists and movements like color-field painting (‘Glory of the World’) and ones that showcase the largesse of the region’s local artists (‘Future Past Perfect’), NSU Art Museum in downtown Fort Lauderdale shines.

Art Museum Invites Members to Special Exhibit Opening

The NSU Art Museum is welcoming members to the opening of “Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle.” This exhibition will provide viewers the opportunity to immerse themselves in Ting’s neon-soaked visions of nubile women, flora, fauna, and an endless menagerie of cats, parrots, and hibiscus.

Simultaneously, the show will establish a biographic narrative, in which viewers will learn about the diasporic life of Ting; whose transnational identity left him without the typical ambassadorship countries engage in to display their creative wealth.

This exhibition is curated by the Museum’s Bryant Taylor Curator, Ariella Wolens. It will be accompanied by a full-color, hard-bound monograph published by Skira, edited, and with an essay by Wolens and additional text by Pierre Alechinsky, Bonnie Clearwater, Xiao (Amanda) Ju, and Ting’s daughter Mia Ting.

“Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle” is sponsored by those who wish to remain anonymous, Stephen & Joan Marks, Barron Family Foundation, Imperfect Family Foundation, Funding Arts Broward, Inc., Sam Francis Foundation in honor of Francis’ 100th Birthday, Marlène Brody, Marion Lefebre & Robert S. Pynoos, David Stonehill & Caroline Cruise, Wenise Wong & Eric Barron. This event will be held at the NSU Art Museum (One East Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301) on Thursday, Nov. 9 from 6 to 8 p.m.

For more information please contact the NSU Art Museum, moareservations@moafl.org or call 954.525.5500.
