Director and Chief Curator, Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, U.S.A.

Currently Executive Director and Chief Curator, Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach.

Previously, director of The Moore Space, Miami, from 2002-2008 and Independent Curator since 1997.

In the past, I held the position of Adjunct Curator at inova, the Institute of Visual Arts; University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; and held positions at The Mexican Museum in San Francisco and the Cuban Museum of Art in Miami.

At The Moore Space, I organized exhibition projects with artists such as: Allora & Calzadlla, Carlos Amorales, John Bock, Sean Dack, Jeppe Hein, Tracey + The Plastics, Jonathan Monk, Aida Ruilova, Hernan Bas, Jim Lambie, Patty Chang, Joan Jonas, Yang Fudong, and numerous group exhibitions.

In 2007 I worked on French Kissing in the USA, a group exhibition that takes its title from a 1986 hit song by Blondie, to present the emerging scene of French artists.

Independently, I worked on exhibitions such as None of the Above: Contemporary Work by Puerto Rican Artists at Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT; Quirky, Odd and Out of Sorts at MACLA, San Jose, CA; Landmark/Allora & Calzadilla at the Escuela de Artes Plasticas in San Juan; Quisqueya Henríquez; Habitat en Tránsito/Piñones (In-Situ), Javier Cambre’s project for the 2002 Bienal Exhibition of the Whitney Museum of American Art; Pepón Osorio: Door to Door at Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico in San Juan; Arte del Nuevo Medio: Doce Propuestas Electrónicas at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Puerto Rico; and I was the Puerto Rico commissioner to the 1997 Bienal de Sao Paolo.

I have participated in Project Rooms at ARCO and ArtMiami, have lectured extensively and participated in numerous grant panels and award selection committees, most recently as a juror to the Guggenheim Museum’s Hugo Boss Award for 2006. In 2007, I was a finalist for the Walter Hopps Award for Curatorial Achievement and participated in the Center for Curatorial Leadership program.
