Ruben Ubiera / “Sapien Experiments” Series, Ricardo Agudelo / “Light Texture”, Gustavo Oviedo / Installation View of “Microscopic”, “Invisible Sights”, “Broken Boat Parts ‘Reminders'”, “Colladas”, “Periodic Table” & “Particles” Lexicon spans the entirety of the new, 55,000 square foot Young at Art Museum, infiltrating the Knight Gallery and meandering through the angled walls of the building’s main corridor. Light and video-based artist Ricardo Agudelo expands this by sending his architecturally mapped projections into the rafters of the museum and onto surfaces integrated into current, permanent installations. Hugo Moro, a multimedia jack of all trades, presents both the museum and the conjoined library with sculptural works including his slip-cast series of hyper-realistic branches, Capilla de Los Palos, dipped in gold luster and presented on velvet pillows for viewers to examine the cryptic text incised within the bark. Moro’s La Charada Del Monstruo invites participants to interact with his rice paper and graphite mural based of pictograms based on a traditional Chinese game played in Cuba. Henning Haupt / “The Return of the Magenta”, Hugo Moro / “Mirror for a Delicate Groom”, “Cornucopier”, Rachel Henriques / “Happy Little Clouds”, “As Free as the Clouds” Further into the museum a diverse installation of Gustavo Oviedo’s grid-like accumulations of photographed surfaces and invented, cartoonish alphabets looms across from the arrestingly direct gaze of one of several serious, yet playful gorillas by muralist and painter Ruben Ubiera. Bookending the exhibition are Rachel Henriques’ haunting, text-driven prints which wander up the museum’s walls in contrast with Henning Haupt’s The Return of the Magenta which physically envelops the entirety of the Knight gallery in undulating panels of chromatic abstractions.

LEXICON / FINALE The Cypress Bay High School Marching Band procession / Grand finale in Henning Haupt’s “The Return of the Magenta” Lexicon culminated in a Finale on May 18th, 2013, structured to reflect the diverse creative vocabularies of the six artists represented within the exhibition. In an absurd homage, a disparate variety of foods (oreos, pickles, bacon/donut sandwiches) were all deep fried and served to viewers. Visitors were also invited screen-print their own posters and shirts and create unique woodblock prints as a souvenir of their experience. To celebrate the artists and the finite temporality of the exhibition the Cypress Bay High School Marching Band led a surprise procession through the main corridor of the museum, bringing the show to a climactic end with a performance inside of Henning Haupt’s The Return of the Magenta.
