Plural Domains is drawn exclusively from the collection of the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), a non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Ella Fontanals-Cisneros to foster cultural exchange and enrichment of the arts. The foundation’s mission is to support and advance cultural understanding and educational dialogue among Latin American artists and global audiences. Since its inception, CIFO has shaped one of the most extensive and substantial programs of contemporary Latin American art. Plural Domains features photography, drawing, video, sculpture, and large-scale multimedia installations by 30 established, mid-career, and emerging artists from 10 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Many of the artists are immersed in a range of multidisciplinary or hybrid practices in which both traditional and the most innovative methods come together, as they incorporate into their work the infinite variety of resources that constitute the repertoire of contemporary art. Plural Domains is curated by Jesús Fuenmayor, Program Director & Visiting Curator at University Galleries, School of Art + Art History, University of Florida.
This exhibition is presented simultaneously at UF’s University Gallery (September 14 – February 26, 2022), Gary R. Libby Gallery (September 14 – February 26, 2022), and the Harn Museum of Art (September 7, 2021 – April 24, 2022). The presentation of Plural Domains at the Harn was co-organized with Dulce Román, Chief Curator and Curator of Modern Art at the Harn.
