    “An exhibition is a finite episode, a temporal road map to the stars, along which I hoped to track a potential route through and between other episodes, which explode and reiterate the potential of the other."—Allison Katz
    
    On the occasion of In the House of the Trembling Eye, a museum-wide exhibition staged by painter Allison Katz, the artist will be in conversation with curator and art historian James Meyer.

    “When you really have important art or design, a creative person is coming up with some new expression that is going to influence the future, the next generations, and it will change the way we perceive things. I see that as a frontier from which mankind advances and that is why I’m interested in art and design.”—Craig Robins

As the CEO and President of Dacra, the real estate development company he founded in 1987, Robins focuses on developing creative communities that integrate art, design, and architecture to accelerate asset value creation and enrich urban life. Among other strategic projects, Robins has transformed the Miami Design District into one of the most important global centers for design, fashion, food, and art.
