A selection from the Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence archive
Co-curated by Liliam Dominguez, Historic Preservation and Curatorial Manager at Deering Estate and Amaranta Mattie, Cultural Arts Curator at Deering Estate, this archival selection highlights the Deering Estate’s Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program and its commitment to process-based exploration and place-based creation. Marmoris 2 invites viewers to consider how artistic practices preserve, question, and reshape our collective memory by revisiting key works and moments from the residency’s legacy. The exhibition serves as both a reflective monument and a dynamic platform for future inquiry, where what has been carved endures, and what is ephemeral becomes part of an evolving artistic topography.
The exhibition will run from April 3 – May 23, 2026, with a special reception on Friday, April 10th from 6 pm to 9 pm at Coral Springs Museum of Art, 2855 Coral Springs Dr. in Coral Springs. Free and open to the public.
This exhibition is part of the Deering Estate AT program, a partnership that brings Deering Estate Artists-in-Residence to new audiences by showcasing their work in dynamic, collaborative venues beyond the Estate.
The Exhibition “Marmoris 2”
Marmoris, from the Latin word for marble, evokes both the classical weight of artistic legacy and the enduring textures of time and transformation. This exhibition draws from the Deering Estate’s Artist-in-Residence (AIR) archive, presenting a curated selection of works that reflect the depth and diversity of artistic inquiry fostered on-site over the past two decades. This second iteration expands the original framework to include works by current residents, alongside new projects developed by past participants.
Participating artists are Josh Aronson, John Bailly, Susana Behar, Andres Cabrera-Garcia, Deryn Cowdy, Elaine Defibaugh, Giannina Dwin, Tony Fernandez, Natalia Garcia-Lee, Jorge Gonzalez Graupera, Jeanne Jaffe, Gustavo Matamoros, Emily Peters, Karen Rifas, Lissette Schaeffler, and Barron Sherer.
Deering Estate AT program
The Deering Estate AT program consists of a joint venture with other cultural institutions to showcase Deering Estate Artists-in-Residence (AIRs) outside the Estate. It aims to enhance each institution’s reach and resources to achieve a common goal: expanding the artists’ cultural reach by making diverse artistic expressions accessible to a broader audience. The program fosters creative synergy and community connections through art exhibitions, cultural performances, and dynamic programming. The Deering Estate AT program exemplifies the Estate’s commitment to supporting current and past AIRs and elevating their practice at every stage of their careers while honoring the spirit of innovation and discovery that the Deering Estate inspires and underscoring the importance of alliances that bridge institutional boundaries.
