"Near the rivers there are many large springs"
three person exhibition at Coral Springs Museum of Art

Exhibition on view: April 11 through July 20, 2024
 

Near the rivers there are many large springs is an exhibition that highlights the Florida landscape from the lenses of three South Florida artists that use historical elements, raw data, repurposed materials, and nature to create awareness of the changing environment in the area. 

The title of the exhibition comes from the book Ferns of Florida by John Kunkel Small, repurposing a phrase used to describe the lavish conditions that Florida’s landscape offers for the abundant growth of ferns. For an exhibition that celebrates repurposing, re-using, and recovering, the use of this phrase, written almost a hundred years ago, serves as a reminder of the natural conditions of the land we currently inhabit.
