The MOCA opening preview of metro pictures, part two on May 4 will include a tour of the exhibition with curator Silvia Karman Cubina for MOCA Shaker members ($150-level) and above from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. Works address personal histories and illustrate relationships, as well as topics that explore political and philosophical perspectives on race, environment, and other social concerns. Metro pictures addresses social issues shared by large populations.

Silvia Karman Cubina stated, “The ‘city’ is not a specific location but rather a concept of space whereby artists explore the psychologies, conflicts, resolutions and states of mind that entail negotiating with surroundings, people and change.” By presenting the exhibition in two locations, viewers will traverse the urban boundaries of Miami and North Miami.” While the artists are from varied locations and work in different media, their works all serve as ‘snapshots of urban life,’ which define, interpret and navigate the city landscape.

Bonnie Clearwater, Executive Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art said “We are excited to work with The Moore Space on this exhibition which explores the urban experience. The exhibition is curated by Silvia Karman Cubina, director of The Moore Space. Metro pictures, part one is currently on view at the Moore Space (4040 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Design District) through July 31st, 2006. Metro pictures, part two will open to the public with a special preview May 4 from 7:30 to 9:30 pm, and remain on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Joan Lehman Building, 770 NE 125th Street, North Miami) through September 17, 2006. This exhibition includes work in diverse media, including painting, sculpture, video, photography, performance, and public art.
