SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: NSU Art Museum Presents: Frantz Zéphirin: The Messenger
DESCRIPTION:The Messenger is the inaugural monographic museum exhibition dedicated to artist Frantz Zéphirin (b. 1968\, Port-au-Prince\, Haiti). While self-taught\, Zéphirin was born into a lineage of painters that included his uncle\, Antoine Obin\, celebrated master of the Cap-Haïtien school. But in rejection of the Northern Haitian tradition of narrative painting grounded in Haitian daily life\, Zéphirin created his own miniaturist style of painting\, in which political history\, Vodou spirituality and intensely decorative renderings of human animals converge. \nThe Messenger presents Zéphirin as a documentarian\, recording the histories of both of the mortal realm and cosmic other. He is an Oungan (male Vodou priest) whose images have been created under the instruction of La Sirène\, the sea goddess who became his muse and turned him toward a universal iconography that fused human\, animal\, and divine forms. Since 1988\, Zéphirin has painted over two thousand visions of the mermaid\, though he claims the paintings made themselves\, the brushes and palette having mingled in his mind’s eye. \nSimultaneous to the celestial visions that line his canvases\, Zéphirin’s images are coupled with stories of ancestral and contemporary struggle: depictions of Haitian slavery and emancipation\, its uniquely syncretic belief system\, depictions of its ecological collapse in 2010 and its enduring battle to withstand devastation at the hands of gang violence. \nZéphirin’s paintings collapse temporal and spiritual borders\, echoing the Haitian Spiralist movement’s belief in cyclical connection between the living and the dead\, the earthly and the cosmic. In works such as The Slave Ship Brooks (2007) (exhibited at the 2022 Venice Biennale exhibition\, Milk of Dreams) and Les Esprits Indien en face Colonisation (2000) the artist reimagines the transatlantic passage and the struggle for liberation through symbolic encounters between spirits and ancestors. In the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake\, his The Resurrection of the Dead (2007) appeared on the cover of The New Yorker\, emblematic of an artist whose vision transforms tragedy into endurance. Through a synthesis of myth and reportage\, Zéphirin situates Haiti not at the margins of history\, but at its pulsing center\, with the artist’s brush as witness and oracle to the diasporic world. \nThis exhibition is curated by Ariella Wolens\, Bryant-Taylor Curator at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale. \nWhere:\nNSU Art Museum\nOne East Las Olas Boulevard\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen:\nJune 7 through October 4\nCost:\n$5-$16\nTickets:\nTicket prices vary. CLICK HERE to purchase through NSU Art Museum\nMuseum Hours:\nTuesday-Saturday: 11am-5pm\nSunday: Noon-5pm\nMonday: Closed\nSunny Days/Starry Nights: Free admission and extended hours the first Thursday of every month\, 11 am – 7 pm.

While self-taught\, Zéphirin was born into a lineage of painters that included his uncle\, Antoine Obin\, celebrated master of the Cap-Haïtien school. But in rejection of the Northern Haitian tradition of narrative painting grounded in Haitian daily life\, Zéphirin created his own miniaturist style of painting\, in which political history\, Vodou spirituality and intensely decorative renderings of human animals converge. \nThe Messenger presents Zéphirin as a documentarian\, recording the histories of both of the mortal realm and cosmic other. He is an Oungan (male Vodou priest) whose images have been created under the instruction of La Sirène\, the sea goddess who became his muse and turned him toward a universal iconography that fused human\, animal\, and divine forms. Since 1988\, Zéphirin has painted over two thousand visions of the mermaid\, though he claims the paintings made themselves\, the brushes and palette having mingled in his mind’s eye. \nSimultaneous to the celestial visions that line his canvases\, Zéphirin’s images are coupled with stories of ancestral and contemporary struggle: depictions of Haitian slavery and emancipation\, its uniquely syncretic belief system\, depictions of its ecological collapse in 2010 and its enduring battle to withstand devastation at the hands of gang violence. \nZéphirin’s paintings collapse temporal and spiritual borders\, echoing the Haitian Spiralist movement’s belief in cyclical connection between the living and the dead\, the earthly and the cosmic. In works such as The Slave Ship Brooks (2007) (exhibited at the 2022 Venice Biennale exhibition\, Milk of Dreams) and Les Esprits Indien en face Colonisation (2000) the artist reimagines the transatlantic passage and the struggle for liberation through symbolic encounters between spirits and ancestors. In the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake\, his The Resurrection of the Dead (2007) appeared on the cover of The New Yorker\, emblematic of an artist whose vision transforms tragedy into endurance. Through a synthesis of myth and reportage\, Zéphirin situates Haiti not at the margins of history\, but at its pulsing center\, with the artist’s brush as witness and oracle to the diasporic world. \nThis exhibition is curated by Ariella Wolens\, Bryant-Taylor Curator at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale. \nWhere:\nNSU Art Museum\nOne East Las Olas Boulevard\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen:\nJune 7 through October 4\nCost:\n$5-$16\nTickets:\nTicket prices vary. CLICK HERE to purchase through NSU Art Museum\nMuseum Hours:\nTuesday-Saturday: 11am-5pm\nSunday: Noon-5pm\nMonday: Closed\nSunny Days/Starry Nights: Free admission and extended hours the first Thursday of every month\, 11 am – 7 pm.

SUMMARY:FAB Member Event: NSU Art Museum Presents: Surrounded Islands
DESCRIPTION:NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale has been designated the permanent home of Surrounded Islands\, the iconic 1983 environmental artwork by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Beginning in February 2025\, the museum will present a major exhibition featuring more than 43 preparatory drawings and collages\, along with photographs\, engineering plans\, permits\, original materials (including sections of the signature pink fabric)\, and archival documents that reveal the full creative process behind the project. \nThis significant gift from the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation positions the museum among leading global institutions that house major works by the artists\, reinforcing Fort Lauderdale’s status as an international arts destination. The installation itself—11 islands in Biscayne Bay encircled by 6.5 million square feet of pink floating fabric—lasted just two weeks in May 1983 but required years of planning\, environmental coordination\, and private funding by the artists. \nNow preserved through this comprehensive archive\, Surrounded Islands continues to inspire new generations\, offering insight into the artists’ groundbreaking approach to large-scale\, temporary public art and its lasting cultural impact on South Florida and beyond. \nFollowing the tour\, guests are invited to enjoy lunch at the Museum Café (optional\, not included)\, offering a selection of sandwiches\, salads\, and refreshments in a relaxed setting. CLICK HERE for a preview of the Museum Café menu. \nWhere:\nNSU Art Museum\nOne East Las Olas Boulevard\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen:\nTuesday\, May 19\, 2026 at 11:30 am\nCost: \nFREE Member Event\nTickets:\nCLICK HERE to register or email Info@FundingArtsBroward.org for more registration information.
