Odita\u2019s work explores color both in the figurative historical context and sociopolitical sense, integrating hues from past personal experiences. Odita writes, \u201cColor in itself has the possibility of mirroring the complexity of the world as much as it has the potential for being distinct. I explore in the paintings a metaphoric ability to address the human condition through pattern, structure and design, as well as for its possibility to trigger memory.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Come hear Odita speak about his process, as he shares insight into the creation of our site-specific installation\u00a0Force Field<\/em>, on view in the Jan Schmidt Loggia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Join us for a conversation with Franklin Sirmans, Executive Director of the P\u00e9rez Art Museum, and Sarasota Art Museum\u2019s Executive Director, Anne-Marie Russell, about the state of contemporary art museums and the challenges we face today in terms of shifting societal expectations. Relative to the art museum, how can we maintain scrutiny, accountability, and decolonization efforts in the face of a rapidly shifting world on the global and local scale?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Franklin Sirmans has been the director of the P\u00e9rez Art Museum, Miami since 2015. Previously serving as the curator of contemporary art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Sirmans has an extensive background in the fields of art criticism, curating, and writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
