Kick off the exhibition’s opening, and Miami Art Week, with a conversation between artist Gary Simmons and exhibition curators Jadine Collingwood, René Morales, and Franklin Sirmans. Gary Simmons: Public Enemy, co-organized with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, is the first comprehensive career survey of the richly layered work of Gary Simmons and features nearly 70 sculptures, paintings, photographs, works on paper, and installations, as well as several large-scale wall drawings the artist will create on-site. Simmons, Collingwood, Morales, and Sirmans will discuss how Simmons and his work have played a key role in situating questions of race, class, and identity at the center of contemporary art discourse.

Simultaneous interpretation into American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, and Spanish will be provided. In this timely exhibition—accompanied by a major exhibition catalogue and slate of related programs—visitors will gain a holistic understanding of the complex and profoundly moving work of this groundbreaking and influential artist.

This event is free with museum admission. Admission to the museum is $16. Free for members. RSVP is encouraged and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once Auditorium seating is full, an overflow screening area will be available to guests.
