A protected building nobody can afford still falls down. An investor with nothing to protect demolishes.

Fifth installment of Art & Finance. Ocean Drive’s story is usually told as one visionary developer’s, but it took two things: the 1979 Art Deco district designation, won by Barbara Baer Capitman, which stopped the demolitions, and the private capital that arrived in 1985 with Tony Goldman to make that heritage profitable. Goldman did not replace the preservationists — he worked alongside them for decades.

In September, the project was presented. In October, it was celebrated.

On September 24, Andreína Fuentes Angarita took part in ARTBO in Bogotá alongside Dr. Lourdes Ramos, President and CEO of the Museum of Latin American Art, and Eduardo Salazar, for a talk on MOLAA’s expansion project and the twenty-first-century museum.

On Saturday, October 3, in Long Beach, the museum held its annual gala: 30 Years of Gratitude, marking three decades. The LEGADO Awards went to Tanya Capriles de Brillembourg for philanthropy in the arts, Edward James Olmos for lifetime achievement, and Congressman Robert García for leadership. MIA Art Collection received recognition as an international partner.

Arts Connection Foundation sits on the museum’s International Committee. An expansion is not announced at a panel and settled in one evening: it is sustained over years, and these are two of its moments.

This is what a collection looks like before it is a collection.

FAC000333. FAC001105. FAC001372. Every code is a work, and every work needs someone to measure it, photograph it, assign it a number, print the label, place it where it will not damage anything, and enter it into the record. Then wrap it and store it somewhere it can be found again.

There is no shortcut. A piece without a number is a piece that exists but cannot be lent, insured, cited or donated to a museum. The catalog, the exhibition in Madrid, and the 36 works that entered La Neomudéjar all began on a folding table like this one.

It is the part of a collection’s work that never gets shown. We are showing it.

Twenty artists, one question: who gets to decide.

Andreína Fuentes Angarita is part of The Shapes of Power, the Miami International Fine Arts (MIFA) residents’’exhibition at the University of Miami’s Gallery at The Chapel, curated by Shirley Moreira.

The works gathered here explore and question the power relations that run through public and private life — gender, class, ethnicity, religion — and how they end up shaping identity. It is not an abstract subject: it decides who speaks, who is looked at, and who stays outside the frame.

October 6–30. Opening reception Wednesday the 7th, 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., at 6565 Red Road, Room 112, Coral Gables.

Wynwood once had fifty international galleries. Almost none remain.

Fourth installment of Art & Finance. Andreína Fuentes Angarita, one of the district’s first Latin American gallerists, describes what gentrification looks like from the inside: galleries make a neighborhood desirable, and then they cannot afford it.

Fran Beaufrand — Fornasetti, from the Layers series (2021)

Photography, 39.37 x 31.49 in (100 x 80 cm)

Beaufrand named three references for the staging of Layers: De Chirico, Magritte and Hopper. The nod to De Chirico is not incidental in a piece titled Fornasetti. Metaphysical painting was one of Piero Fornasetti’s formative influences, and he was also the first to print De Chirico lithographs in Milan. Through the scarf, the work recovers the same genealogy that had shaped the atelier it cites.

Which is why the image refuses to settle into a period. The print points back to mid-twentieth-century production; the body and the photographic procedure belong to 2021. It is what Beaufrand was after in Blur, where defocus dissolved time and identity. Here a piece of cloth does it.

The series was made in collaboration with the photographer Aarón Martínez.

A jay’s nest built out of pencils. A cardboard box that becomes wood again. Cigarette paper that fades away.
Audino Díaz presents Natur, his first solo exhibition in Mexico. The show works on the memory of materials: where the things we use every day come from, and what survives of that origin after the process that transformed them.

“What matters is really knowing where the things I use every day come from,” the artist says. A pencil was a tree. A cardboard box was wood. So was the paper.

The piece that closes the show is a wooden chainsaw on amate paper — the ancestral paper of the codices — with trees growing out of its chain.

Miami went from two art fairs to twenty-two.

Third installment of Art & Finance with Andreína Fuentes Angarita: what happens to a city when an anchor fair moves in? The others do not arrive to compete. They arrive because suddenly there is a calendar.

Tomorrow in Bogotá.

Andreína Fuentes Angarita joins Dr. Lourdes Ramos, President and CEO of the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA), and Eduardo Salazar for a conversation about the museum’s expansion project.

Founded in 1996 in Long Beach, MOLAA is the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to modern and contemporary art from Latin America and its diaspora. The expansion proposes more than a new building: it asks what a museum is for once architecture stops being a container for collections.

Andreína Fuentes Angarita and Eduardo Salazar both sit on the museum’s International Committee.

Thursday, 24, 2:00 p.m.

En bachillerato se habla mucho de la formación integral y de los proyectos integradores. Casi nunca del arte como eje que los conecta.

Esa es la apuesta de la primera Residencia Arte-Pedagógica de Escolarte en alianza con Arts Connection Foundation. Un artista-pedagogo acompañará a jóvenes de bachillerato en un proceso situado en su propio entorno: experimentar, investigar y disfrutar el camino creativo, con la sensibilidad y la expresividad como punto de partida.

Es una residencia para acompañar un proceso de creación que desemboca en un trabajo personal, singular y auténtico de cada joven.

Buscamos uno o dos artistas-pedagogos de Maracaibo. El trabajo es remunerado por horas. El portafolio es opcional: valoramos, sobre todo, tu compromiso con el proceso pedagógico y artístico.

La convocatoria cierra a finales de noviembre y la residencia arranca en enero.

Secondary education talks a great deal about comprehensive education and integrated projects. It rarely talks about art as the axis that connects them.

That is the premise behind Escolarte'’ first Art-Pedagogical Residency, in partnership with Arts Connection Foundation. An artist-educator will accompany high school students through a process rooted in their own surroundings: experimenting, researching, and enjoying the creative path, with sensibility and expressiveness as the starting point.

It is a residency for accompanying a process of creation, one that ends in work that is personal, singular, and each student'’ own.

Escolarte is looking for one or two artist-educators from Maracaibo. The work is paid hourly. A portfolio is optional: what matters most is commitment to the pedagogical and artistic process.

Applications close at the end of November. The residency begins in January.

Apply through the link in Escolarte’s profile.
