RPBW Renzo Piano Building Workshop: Le Fil Rouge April 20-May 19, 2024 Members: FREE Free, daily docent tours are available Hours In partnership with The Center for Arts & Innovation, the Boca Raton Museum of Art hosts the exhibition's first showing in the U.S. and unveils architect Renzo Piano's first expression of the vision for The Center for Arts & Innovation in Boca Raton. Le Fil Rouge celebrates 50 years of extraordinary work by Pritzker Prize-winning Laureate and architect Renzo Piano and his renowned firm, Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW). The exhibition's North American debut coincides with the first look at the concept design for one of RPBW's newest visions, The Center for Arts & Innovation, in Boca Raton. Showcasing RPBW buildings around the world, Le Fil Rouge provides insight into the possibilities for The Center's design and what will become of the cultural hub of Southeast Florida and an international example of innovation. In September, The Center for Arts and Innovation selected Piano to design its forthcoming multimillion-dollar creative campus, a testament to The Center's significance, as RPBW is highly selective and only pursues two to three projects per year. Set to redefine downtown Boca Raton, The Center aims to pioneer a new approach to how cultural infrastructure is conceived. This 21st-century campus will provide a platform for new and inspiring works and ideas, comprehensive STEAM education in partnership with local and regional institutions to shape the next generation of leaders and creators, and cultivated innovation through an activated space where ideation and creation can thrive; all in a campus with globally-inspired design where the community can come together and truly connect. |

Smoke & Mirrors: Magical Thinking in Contemporary Art Through May 12, 2024 The exhibition’s title refers both to performative magic and to the “magical thinking” in today’s culture rife with disinformation, conspiracy theories, and “alternative facts.” In essence, the theme of the show is lying, whether it’s stage magic where the audience is in on the deception or hoaxes perpetrated for financial or political gain. The show includes artists who are inspired by stage magic or creators of deep fakes that, when exposed, reveal a greater truth. The inspiration for the exhibition is the life and career of the late Amazing Randi, a Florida resident and legendary stage magician who was a relentless debunker of charlatans. Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A.), an artist who has exhibited at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, was Randi’s lifelong partner. He began his career as a performance artist in the 1980s when the two collaborated on an international project exposing spirit channelers. This exhibition is especially timely. There are parallels between our day and the early 20th century with its deadly flu and world war that spawned an epidemic of fake mediums as well as the golden age of stage magic. The trauma of our own pandemic, climate disasters, and rampant violence have seen an explosive increase in supernatural characters in popular culture as well as dangerous hoaxes that have proved difficult to discredit.

Dorotha Grace Lemeh: Cycles Through May 19, 2024 From climate and seasonal changes to environmental and other historical events, Cycles takes a serious and sometimes humorous look at how our human social and cultural choices, alongside other complex narratives, continuously shape our everyday experiences and consequently, our lives. Using myths, legends, archetypes, folklore, current events, and other forms of visual storytelling this new exhibition of collaged mixed media paintings, drawings, 3D elements, and digital imagery intends to feature generational concerns for all living things that occupy our planet. Joining Dorotha in this conversation will be an array of birds and other creatures, who bear witness to our human folly.
