Join us as Miami-based artist Phillip Smith leads us on a tour of his exhibition, Magnetic Fields, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami.

Magnetic Fields presents over 50 works spanning five decades of Smith’s expansive artistic career. The exhibition unfolds across six gallery spaces at MOCA, with thematically organized environments that revolve entirely around Smith’s multifaceted pictographic language.

Smith’s early career is marked by the artist’s contributions to the acclaimed PICTURES exhibition at Artists Space, New York, in 1977, curated by Douglas Crimp. His visual vocabulary has since continued to blur boundaries between high and low culture. Extending beyond conventional artistic practices, Smith explores metaphysical and spiritual themes through large-scale, vibrantly chromatic paintings. His work is in the collection of over twenty museums and corporate institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Moderna Museet, Stockholm. He has also participated in the Whitney and Beijing Biennials.

The Fountainhead Experience membership program is for those who want to see the world differently and develop intimate relationships with artists and art appreciators. This season, Fountainhead members will be immersed in the local landscape, with behind-the-scenes tours of private collections, artist-led experiences, and more.
