Art, Media and Material Witness explores the relationships between artists and the historical, political and social challenges of their time. The exhibition proposes the artist as a material witness, defined as “a witness whose testimony is both relevant to the matter at issue and required in order to resolve the matter.” Questions that emerge include: What are the forms of artistic testimony? What is the significance of art in society’s discourse? Is art essential? What can art resolve? Can art change the way we think of or imagine our world? Twenty five artists from Africa, Latin America and the United States engage with these important issues through a variety of media. The exhibition features several new acquisitions and important loans. Each featured work gives compelling testimony about the issues and conditions of its unique time and place in the world. Some challenge political circumstances through irony and humor and question the potential of utopian aspirations. Others explore the tension between nature and humanity and unsettle concepts of the “natural.” Lastly, the works question and reflect on historical representations of culture and identity. Read Less

September 15, 2009 – February 28, 2010 This exhibition highlights more than a dozen portfolios in the Harn’s photography collection and examines the many reasons artists and collectors are attracted to this format. Brought together as a group, the works suggest the rich diversity of the last quarter century of photography. Portfolios of artists who have been brought together because of their shared support of a specific social cause or political issue are especially interesting examples of the merger of artistic expression with charity, politics and the art market. Of special note is the Harn’s new acquisition of the portfolio By and About Women. The 10 contributing female artists made images about women, and some images feature women at the Lotus House, a shelter for homeless women in Miami. The exhibition is made possible by the Sidney Knight Endowment. Read Less

February 7 – May 9, 2010 Project Europa considers the relationship of art to democracy in Europe. In 1989, the expansion and unification of Europe was conceived as a vital and urgent social project to promote democracy and sustain cultural difference. Now in the 20th anniversary year of the fall of the Berlin Wall, artists in the exhibition question the promise and potential of Europe’s democratic dream. The works featured in the exhibition, which include large-scale wall paintings, photography and video by 20 artists from Turkey to the British Isles, explore the complex and subtle relationship between art and politics. At the same time, the reflection on Europe provides an opportunity for American audiences to re-consider and reinvigorate our understanding of democracy at home. The exhibition is organized by the Harn Museum of Art and made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; the C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation; Étant donnés, the French-American Fund for Contemporary Art, a program of the French American Cultural Exchange; the Harn Eminent Scholar Chair in Art History; the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere; the Center for European Studies; and the France Florida Research Institute; with additional support from the Sidney Knight Endowment and the Harn Program Endowment.
