WHAT: Artist Carlos Cruz Diez, one of Latin America’s most important living masters, and Miami Art Museum curator Rina Carvajal, will lead an exclusive media preview of MAM’s newest exhibition, Carlos Cruz Diez: The Embodied Experience of Color. On view at Miami Art Museum from March 19 through June 20, 2010, the exhibition invites visitors to become participants in the artwork, experiencing color through their interactions with four light installations, including the groundbreaking Cromosaturación (Chromosaturation), 1968. Carlos Cruz Diez recently made headlines when he was selected to create a major artwork feature for the new Miami Marlins Stadium.

Carlos Cruz Diez: The Embodied Experience of Color explores the artist’s pioneering contribution to experimental practices with color and perceptual structures in the 1960s and 1970s that proposed new definitions for the art work as a field of participation.
