The Pérez Art Museum's celebrated director Franklin Sirmans reflects on his nearly decade-long run at the Miami institution.

Conceptual artist Gary Simmons is primarily focused on how our collective understanding of race is impacted by the images we see in popular culture. 

For Gary Simmons, who observed the vast disconnect between the political nature of hip hop and the contemporary, predominantly abstract, art of the 1980s, the union of these two modalities engendered an artistic language that could speak simultaneously to multiple publics.
