Throughout history, art has provided a beacon for humanity in tumultuous times. In this moment of dynamic global change and rupture, art continues to guide us through uncertainty. This exhibition, embodying the mission and vision of Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), invites us to reflect on our shared existence and inherent ability to shape our own reality. Taking its title from a work by the Cuban artist Glenda León, Every Sound Is a Shape of Time explores humanism and beauty drawing from the collection’s strengths in a plurality of voices.

Since becoming a collecting institution 30 years ago, PAMM has focused on modern and contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on contemporary art. The majority of works in the collection were created after World War II and more than half were made in the last 50 years. This exhibition features twenty- one works by seventeen diverse artists, from abstract paintings to examples of photo- and text-based conceptualism. The show includes works by León, Luis Camnitzer, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Helen Frankenthaler, Alfredo Jaar, Jennie C. Jones, Julie Mehretu, Robert Morris, Lydia Okumura, Richard Serra, and Lawrence Weiner, among others.
