Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts features guest artist exhibition ‘The Garden’ in Gallery 217

November 20, 2020 Christie Williams

NSU’s Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts (DCMA) within the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center is featuring guest artist Amanda Madrigal and her exhibition “The Garden” in Gallery 217 in the Don Taft University Center. The exhibit was collaboratively curated by students enrolled in ARTS 3040: Museum Studies and Gallery Practices, guest artist Amanda Madrigal and guest curator and adjunct faculty member Taryn Moller Nicoll, who also serves as chief curator of The Frank Gallery.

The exhibit features sculptures and mixed media elements created out of repurposed materials from local Miami thrift stores and businesses whose operations shut down due to the economic difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic. Madrigal’s vision gives new meaning to the materials that make up her pieces, and “The Garden” communicates reconnection with nature through the construction of a new normal, reflective of our current global reality.

DCMA practiced a socially distanced installation and is using technology to provide safe access to the exhibit. The virtual opening on Sept. 23 featured Madrigal discussing her work live from the gallery and participating in a Q&A via Zoom. A virtual video tour of the gallery was produced by M.A. in Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media student Mike Lynn, and a 360 virtual tour was created by DCMA Associate Professor of Writing Eric Mason.
