Carlos Enrique Prado's 'Stubborn' Unveiled at MoCAA

Simultaneously with the opening of "Converging Plateaus," the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas, in collaboration with the University of Miami and under the ArtEd Connect program, presents works by the renowned artist and ceramist Carlos Enrique Prado for the second time. Prado's work has been extensively exhibited in numerous exhibitions at the Fine Art Ceramic Center, both within the museum and at analogous institutions across many states in the Union.

Stubborn presents a collection of works inspired by classical statuary, particularly torsos and heads, transformed with the unexpected incorporation of industrial objects. Through this juxtaposition, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the legacy of Western values and our perceptions of various aspects of life. In contrast to his previous series, Prado intentionally relinquished total control over the creative process, allowing it to unfold with less restraint. Although he continues to draw inspiration from classical sculptures as his primary reference, this time he explores diverse associations that emerge organically during the act of creation. Overall, he perceives in this series a profound struggle to define his own identity. His education as a Western artist, deeply rooted in the traditions of classical Greco-Roman art and Catholic pictorial imagery, has always been a significant influence. While these elements have permeated his career, in 'Stubborn,' they converge, establishing a unique and uncanny dialogue.

James Herring's Motivations

According to the artist's own manifesto, this exhibit is an exercise in examining the influences that various mentors, teachers, movements, philosophies, and personal heroes have had on his work as a ceramic artist.

In Miami, you hear a lot about art, but not so much about craft. James Herring's work in ceramics fuses the two. Herring eschews the title of "artist" and sees the resurgence of crafts and craftsmanship as a necessity for human growth in modern times. An outspoken supporter and practitioner of the maker movement, Herring has maintained a presence locally by doing demonstrations and leading classes and workshops on the ancient craft.

Curated by

Ivonne Ferrer

The Fine Arts Ceramic Center integrates into The New MoCAA museum. The exhibition "Ceramics: Omnipresence Matter" is organized, encompassing the complex connotations of identity, belonging, and diaspora. It concerns the artist's narratives, history, and social context. It's a total departure from how traditionally the ceramics collection has been presented. Ceramics have become a source of inspiration and expressiveness for a selection of artists presented as part of the FACC collection.
