William Cordova / Now’s the Time
April 27 – Oct 7, 2018

William Cordova

William Cordova Now’s the Time: Narratives of Southern Alchemy is the first extensive museum survey of cultural practitioner William Cordova. It presents a selection of works embodying the three main themes that have inspired the work of this celebrated Miami artist for decades: transmission, alchemy, and transcendence. In his nationally and internationally recognized drawings, sculptures, installations, and collaborative projects, Cordova collapses linear concepts of time and history to address contemporary notions of displacement.

Like an ethnographer, he extensively researches symbols, people and the common threads that binds different cultures to one another, foregoing the boundaries between the past and the present. Then, he uses ephemeral and precarious materials to create elegant works that challenge traditional Western typologies. Striving to create a flexible and critical space for the understanding of our contemporary moment, he builds bridges between various intersecting narratives such as architecture, cinema, literature, and music. This exhibition will be the artist’s first ever U.S. survey exhibition and will be accompanied by an extensive museum catalogue.
