Alumni and faculty of the FIU Art + Art History Department are involved in a new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami called Alternative Contemporaneities: Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ), which opened on Saturday, March 21st.

The group exhibition builds on the work: Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ) by Hakim Bey (Peter Lamborn Wilson). TAZ “alludes to creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control . . . thus creating the foundation for authenticity and spontaneity.” The curator of the MoCA exhibition, Richard Haden – who is assisted by Cristy Almaida (Assistant Curator) – proposes to articulate the exhibition through TAZ and the ways in which it has to do with recreating an “intentional community” (IC) which relates to how past communities purposefully organized in various forms as collectives, to succeed as small villages or townships, guilds, radical groups, et cetera, that eventually gave way to controlling socio-economic structures, which eventually led to the loss of authentic empowerment.
