Miami Beach, FL – November 19, 2015 – Visitors enjoyed an evening of celebration at Pérez Art Museum Miami. The terrace was activated by a live set by Stone Love, Jamaica’s most popular sound system, presented by Rhythm Foundation. As the sun set, PAMM Contemporaries joined in the Contempo Lounge for complimentary drinks provided by Beck’s Urban Canvas. The evening also marked the opening of Nari Ward: Sun Splashed, the largest exhibition to date for the groundbreaking Jamaican-American artist, who speaks with penetrating insight and imagination to a broad range of themes, including African-American history and culture, the dynamics of power and politics, and Caribbean diaspora identity. PAMM Third Thursdays: Poplife Social: Stone Love is presented by Rhythm Foundation. Nari Ward: Sun Splashed is organized by Pérez Art Museum Miami Associate Curator Diana Nawi. This exhibition is presented by Citi with generous support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support was received from the Funding Arts Network. Valuable support for the exhibition catalogue was provided by Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, Beijing, Les Moulins, and Havana, and Lehmann Maupin, New York and Hong Kong. Additional in-kind support provided by Gander & White.
