Dennis Scholl A Day of Four Sunsets
On view October 18 through January 4
A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking these of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos.
Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon- a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. 
As a filmmaker, Scholl has chronicled untold stories across art, music, and cultural history. His feature documentaries have explored a forgotten 1950s abstract painter, the rise of 1960s soul music in Miami, the vanishing Jewish communities of Miami Beach in the 1970s, a Cuban ballerina’s pursuit of freedom in the 1990s, and the voice of the greatest jazz singer of the 21st century. His films have been showcased at over 100 international film festivals, including Sundance, SXSW, and DOC NYC, earning numerous accolades, including 23 regional Emmys from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. His documentary The Last Resort was acquired by Netflix, and his latest film, Naked Ambition, examines the legacy of Miami’s legendary pinup photographer, Bunny Yeager. Scholl’s work—both visual and cinematic—questions how history is archived, remembered, and reframed, offering a conceptual dialogue between past and present. Through the excavation and reconfiguration of historical materials, he constructs a liminal space where personal and collective memory collide, forging new narratives from the remnants of the past.

Felice Grodin's architectural training informs her drawings, intricately weaving together elements of imagination, the future, and the past. The exhibition features more than 10 new works, some of which were created during Grodin’s time as a Center 2025 Spring Artist in Residence.

These ink drawings on mylar can sometimes rely on chance, or automatism, liberating not only the creative process, but inviting viewers into the surreal.

The work of Javier Barrios at first appears seemingly decorative; flowers, landscapes, and beehives are made in intricate detail. But beyond the surface, they carry social and political undertones in their fictitious narratives. His drawings, sculptures, and installations are heavily research-based, incorporating geography, vegetation, and story-telling. His exhibition at the Center, Cloning the ghost, speaks to the relationships between human beings and nature, artist and work, as it stems from the artists’ three-year obsession with orchids.
Sat., March 6 - Sun., May 16, 2021
The Center presented Fractured Landscapes with Cara Despain and Emanuel Tovar. The exhibition reveals work by two individual artists, Utah/Miami-based Despain and Guadalajara-based Tovar, that use similar methods to create formal and performative work that carry diverse meanings and themes. Despain and Tovar both approach a variety of actions such as fire, video, and photography using materials including rock, carbon, sand, and literature to articulate the fragile beauty of their natural environments.
