Bring your blankets and beach chairs and join us on International Day of Peace as we screen I AM on the façade of The Frost Art Museum. Tom Shadyac, the filmmaker behind I AM, is one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar," "The Nutty Professor," and "Bruce Almighty."
However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a
cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world. I AM poses two practical and provocative questions: what's wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better?In collaboration with Global Learning Initiatives at FIU.

Humberto Calzada, Presencing, 2011, Acrylic on canvas, 47 x 47 inches, Courtesy of the ArtistThe Florida Artist Series: Humberto Calzada: The Fire Next Time
October 12, 2011 - January 8, 2012
Cuban-American artist Humberto Calzada, one of the most renowned artists of his generation, will present an exhibition of recent works on the idea of Fire – the fire of war, the fire of light, the fire of passion and emotions with its metaphorical properties that are both destructive and regenerative. In The Fire Next Time, Calzada launches into a new artistic and formal language deviating from his hard -edge approach to a more unpredictable painting style. Calzada seemingly poses an open question between the personal and historical past and the promise of its future.
Magdalena Fernández: 2iPM009
October 12, 2011 - January 8, 2012
Magdalena Fernández's video installation, 2iPM009, brings Geometric Abstraction to a new level of expression. During the past decade the Venezuelan-born artist (1964) has developed a body of kinetic sculptures and videos, the latter with sound and movement of lines and colors. In 2iPM009, Fernández incorporates very sophisticated sound compositions to simulate rain and thunder. The visual imagery in the video consists of rapidly moving dots and lines that constantly change their configuration.

Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen
October 12, 2011 - January 8, 2012
The Wolfsonian–Florida International University presents Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen, an exhibition that explores how technology and design remade the places where food was produced, sold, cooked and eaten from the turn of the century into the post-1945 period. Images and artifacts from the Wolfsonian collection illustrate the movement of food from the field, to the factory, supermarket, and kitchen table, in order to explore how modern technology, design, and business practices created new meanings for food and eating in this era. The more than three dozen items on display will include posters, prints, and advertisements, as well as objects such as toasters, cookware, and tableware, all of which invite visitors to consider how commercialization has shaped modern American foodways.(http://thefrost.fiu.edu/docs/releases/2011/HumbertoCalzada.pdf)
