Current Exhibitions

In “The Rhythm of Resilience,” Elizabet Cerviño extends her longstanding investigation of the relationships between nature, memory and ritual. Developed in response to Florida’s wetland ecosystems, the exhibition draws on algae, water, fiber and language as material and conceptual frameworks through which to examine synchronization, resilience and migration through processes of accumulation and transformation. Attending to the tensions between fragility and endurance, presence and absence, Cerviño positions the natural environment as both subject and collaborator, revealing the subtle interdependencies through which identity, memory and belonging are continually reconstituted.

Elizabet Cerviño (b. 1986, Manzanillo, Cuba) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, installation, video and performance. A graduate of the Higher Institute of Art in Havana (ISA, 2009), her work has been recognized with exhibitions and residencies across the globe and has received recognition by The Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Cuban Arts Foundation, among others.

En “The Rhythm of Resilience” (El Ritmo de la Resiliencia), Elizabet Cerviño profundiza en su prolongada investigación sobre las relaciones entre la naturaleza, la memoria y el ritual. Concebida en respuesta a los ecosistemas de humedales de Florida, la exposición recurre a las algas, el agua, las fibras y el lenguaje como marcos tanto materiales como conceptuales para explorar la sincronía, la resiliencia y la migración a través de procesos de acumulación y transformación. Al abordar las tensiones entre la fragilidad y la resistencia, la presencia y la ausencia, Cerviño sitúa al entorno natural como sujeto y colaborador a la vez, revelando las sutiles interdependencias mediante las cuales la identidad, la memoria y el sentido de pertenencia se reconfiguran continuamente.
