> DESCRIPTION

CIFO will present newly commissioned works by the award recipients of both programs in one single exhibition. The six emerging artists who were awarded grants are: Miguel Amat (Venezuela), Gabriel Antolínez (Colombia), Suwon Lee (Venezuela), Juan León (Ecuador), Ricardo Réndon (Mexico) and José Ruiz (Peru).  The two mid career artists selected as recipients of the Commissions Award are Dora Longo Bahia (Brazil) and Oscar Muñoz (Colombia).

As in the previous grant cycles, the artists for this exhibition were not selected based on a specific curatorial structure.  This exhibition is a culmination of a year-long process during which the Foundation’s international Advisory Committee (consisting of leading artists, curators and art professionals) and the Board of the Directors identified the grant and commissions recipients (from over 250 projects proposals), and where the artists developed new highly innovative work to share with audiences in Miami.
