CINTAS Foundation and MDC Museum of Art + Design Announce 2015-16 Fellowship ...Cintas Foundation
Miami, April 1, 2015 – The Miami Dade College (MDC) Museum of Art + Design and the CINTAS Foundation have announced the ongoing 2015-2016 CINTAS Knight Foundation Award in Visual Arts.
All submission materials must be received by Wednesday, July 1, 2015.
Marking its 51st year, the one-of-a-kind competition serves as a platform to promote and support visual artists, writers, architects and composers of Cuban descent from across the globe. The Collection has grown to be one of the largest bodies of Cuban art outside of Cuba and continues to grow each year with each new fellow.
“CINTAS Fellows are found represented in all major museums, as well as in important private and corporate collections throughout the world,” said CINTAS Foundation Board President Hortensia E. Sampedro.
In addition to supporting Cuban artists, many early in their careers, the CINTAS Foundation also maintains a growing collection of works by past awardees and other esteemed Cuban artists.
Past Visual Arts Fellows include:
Guillermo Calzadilla, in collaboration with the artist Jennifer Allora, produce community collaborations, instllatins, photograpy and sculptural work. Allora and Calzadilla represented the United States in the 2011 venice Biennale.
Carmen Herrera was one of Cuba’s first abstract painters. Herrera has exhibited widely in various solo and group shows, including the Outside Cuba exhibition. Herrera's pieces are in many museums and collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Tate Modern in London; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.; El Museo del Barrio in New York; and Havana's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. She is the winner of a Creative Artists Public Service Award (CAPS) in New York.
The late Félix Gonzáles Torres represented the USA in the 52nd Venice Biennale. He also had solo exhibitions at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; the Brooklyn Museum; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Museum in Progress in Vienna; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.; and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

She was also appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.
Andrés Serrano has won awards from t
The first large-scale elaboration of the City Beautiful occurred in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The planning of the exposition was directed by architect Daniel Burnham, who hired architects from the eastern United States, as well as the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to build large-scale Beaux-Arts monuments that were vaguely classical with uniform cornice height. The exposition displayed a model city of grand scale, known as the "White City", with modern transport systems and no poverty visible. The exposition is credited with resulting in the large-scale adoption of monumentalism for American architecture for the next 15 years. Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue is one expression of this initial phase.

2. Bio
Chris Oh is a curator and thought-leader responsible for crystalizing
many of the social and creative shifts in Miami’s arts, fashion, and
counter-cultural movements.
A graffiti writer and artist with an innate talent for harnessing the
energy of a neighborhood, before murals emerged as a source of
urban beautification for South Florida developers, Oh was
motivated by the idea of a platform where creatives from various
disciplines could thrive. The Miami Design District, still in its
nascent phases, possessed the infrastructural requisites that
attracted Oh and his first concept, Culture Kings, to the
neighborhood in 2005.
Beyond introducing fashion brands and objets d’art not yet available
in the local market, the Culture Kings boutique and art showcase
became a catalyst for building a community – a place where artists,
curators, designers, and influencers would meet and, eventually,
shape the culture-forward identity of the Design District. Y3, Adidas’
high-end fashion brand, and the Culture Kings Artist Collective are
among the corporate and social initiatives that Oh brought to the
area as an early adopter. Ambra Medda, co-founder of a then-
young Design Miami with DACRA developer Craig Robins,
mentions Culture Kings as one of her favorite places, describing Oh
to Domino Magazine as “a former graffiti artist, [and] brilliant curator
of the impossible-to-find.”
With the arrival of Art Basel Miami Beach and the exponential
growth of South Florida’s art and design scene, by the late 2000s,
Street Art was on the rise as a response to the once-blighted
Wynwood District.
The temporality of outdoor murals—“here today, gone
tomorrow”—was of special allure to Miami given its own history of
transience: it became both an outlet and resource for artists
marginalized by fairs, galleries, and the art market. As a graffiti
artist, Oh was already poised to collaborate with and, in many
ways, facilitate the launch of Primary Flight. The first curated
street mural project to lift-off in 2007, this initiative was largely
credited for developing the cultural fabric of Wynwood as an
international arts destination.
Oh officially partnered with Primary Flight founder, Books Bischof,
in 2010 to present the inaugural Primary Projects gallery. The
opening of this new Design District space would become a
creative incubator for artists and curators, and was for Oh, an
opportunity to help give Miami—and many of its previously unseen
artists—a voice in the international art community. Attracting the
attention of Elle Italy, T Magazine, Associated Press and Cultured,
to name a few, Primary Projects tested the boundaries of visual
and performance art, while Oh nurtured major regional and
international public art initiatives.
In addition to securing a residency in Greensboro, North Carolina,
which revamped the overpass of a transit area, during an artist
talk at Weatherspoon Art Museum, Oh sought to contextualize
how street art and installation can transform “forgotten” spaces
into a vehicle for urban development. Oh was also at the helm of
Primary Projects’ artist seminal exchange program with Cisneros
Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), which sent a prominent
Hispanic artist from the U.S. to Cuba to create a mural in the heart
of Havana.
While Oh’s entrepreneurial spirit has helped shape Miami’s Design
District, Wynwood, and a constellation of artistic communities, it is
primarily his intuition and nuanced understanding of the real
needs of artists and neighborhoods that have propelled these
movements forward.
