NSU Art Museum presents a new exhibition: Wilfredo Lam's Legacy, August 30, 2026 - February 14, 2027

Wifredo Lam's Legacy August 30, 2026 - February 14, 2027 In Memory of Pearl Goodman

NSU Art Museum presents a new exhibition, Wilfredo Lam's Legacy, August 30, 2026 - February 14, 2027. Born in 1902 in a sugar-cane harvesting region of Cuba, Wifredo Lam (1902-1982) was a transatlantic artist whose mixed heritage as the son of a Chinese immigrant father and Afro-Cuban mother shaped his distinct Surrealist work. Lam had a profound influence on Cuban artists. Lam’s adoption of Afro-Cuban rituals, the reclaiming of African identity, the celebration of the tropical landscape, the use of coded emblems of social and political protest, and the stylization of abstracted hybrid personages are evident in the works on view in this exhibition. Most of all, Lam’s fame as a transnational artist was a source of pride and an example of how art transcends national borders. As artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons (b. 1959) stated on the occasion of Lam’s recent retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, “When I was young, we were all trying to be Lam.” Drawn exclusively from the museum’s permanent collection and the recent generous gift from Stanley and Pearl Goodman of their Latin American art collection, the exhibition includes works by Wifredo Lam, Ray Azcuy (Broward), José Bedia (Miami), María Brito, Agustín Cárdenas, Los Carpinteros, Kcho, Ana Mendieta, María Martínez-Cañas (Miami), María Magdalena Compos-Pons, and Ricardo Zulueta (Miami), among others.

The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery in Pembroke Pines Presents Two New Art Exhibitions, ‘Habitar una nube’ and ‘Me pongo el sol al hombro y el mundo es amarillo‘

Edison Peñafiel

The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery in Pembroke Pines presents two new concurrent solo exhibitions, which opened on Thursday, January 29, 2026, offering audiences distinct yet resonant contemporary perspectives through immersive installation, video, and material-driven practices. ‘Habitar una nube’, (To Inhabit a Cloud), a solo exhibition by Argentine artist Adrián Sosa, and ‘Me pongo el sol al hombro y el mundo es amarillo‘ (I Carry the Sun on My Shoulder and the World Turns Yellow), a large-scale installation by multidisciplinary artist Edison Peñafiel. Together, these exhibitions create a compelling dialogue around labor, memory, movement, and embodied experience—inviting visitors to navigate space, time, and perception through physical encounter. On view January 29th through April 11th, 2026.

Adrián Sosa

Art lovers and the community are warmly invited to attend the Opening Reception for both exhibitions on Thursday, January 29th from 6–9pm at The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery. This event is free & open to the public, offering an opportunity to experience both exhibitions in a shared moment of exploration and conversation. The Frank Gallery is located at 601 City Center Way in Pembroke Pines, Florida 33025.

Edison Peñafiel

In Habitar una nube (“To Inhabit a Cloud”), Sosa draws from the rural landscapes and labor histories of Tucumán, Argentina, where smoke, dust, and suspended matter shape everyday life. Through video, sculptural elements, and performative action, the exhibition is grounded in material presence and lived experience, approaching labor as a bodily condition rather than a symbolic subject. The works unfold through gesture, repetition, and duration, creating an atmosphere of density and suspension. The cloud functions not as metaphor, but as environment—something inhabited, breathed, and endured. Viewers are invited into a phenomenological encounter with territory, memory, and the body as they register through time and material. Adrian Sosa: Habitar una nube (To Inhabit a Cloud) is curated by Sophie Bonet, Chief Curator, and presented by The Frank C. Ortis Gallery in partnership with Ceibo Gallery in collaboration with Pabellón 4 Arte Contemporáneo and Fulana Galería.

Adrián Sosa

Adrián Sosa (ARG, 1994) was born in Monteros, Tucumán, Argentina, where he lives and works. He holds a degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán and has completed advanced studies in cultural management and artist programs at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. His practice, developed since 2017, has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Premio Braque (2023), which supported a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Sosa has presented solo exhibitions in Argentina and participated in exhibitions and fairs in Argentina, France, and Peru, including Pinta PArC Lima. His work has been featured in national salons and performance festivals, and is held in public and private collections in Argentina and Brazil. Rooted in family history and rural labor traditions, his work engages territory, materiality, and embodied memory as forms of lived knowledge.

In Edison Peñafiel’s Me pongo el sol al hombro y el mundo es amarillo (I Carry the Sun on My Shoulder and the World Turns Yellow), the exhibition features a large-scale installation composed of suspended painted curtains that shape the gallery into a space of movement, pause, and shifting perspective. As visitors walk through the work, scenes unfold gradually—figures resting, departing, and lingering in moments of transition. Rather than offering a single point of view, the installation encourages viewers to slow down, wander, and experience the work through their own movement. Color, scale, and material create a rhythmic environment that invites reflection on presence, memory, and the experience of carrying forward. *Made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division.

Edison Peñafiel (b. 1985, Guayaquil, Ecuador) is a multidisciplinary artist whose large-scale installations explore themes of movement, power, memory, and perception. After immigrating to the United States in 2002, his work has increasingly reflected on the emotional and historical conditions that shape contemporary life. Peñafiel’s installations combine painting, sculpture, video, and sound, often drawing from German Expressionism and cinematic language to create psychologically charged environments. His work has been exhibited at institutions including the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, Coral Springs Museum of Art, Sabrina Amrani Gallery, and the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo 2 de Mayo (CA2M) in Madrid. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including a VIA Art Fund Production Grant, the Knight Foundation Award and Florida Prize in Contemporary Art, the Ellies Creator Award, and the Premio ARCO Comunidad de Madrid. His work is held in the collections of Oolite Arts, Elsewhere Museum, and CA2M.
