Germane Barnes & Edouard Duval-Carrie
Oolite Arts recently announced that artists Germane Barnes and Edouard Duval-Carrié joined the Board of Trustees. Their leadership and guidance are welcome as Oolite embarks on the new campus building in the City of Miami to meet the needs of the region’s growing arts community.
Germane Barnes, who had a solo exhibition at Oolite Arts this winter, is the founder of Studio Barnes. He is also Assistant Professor and Director of the Community Housing & Identity Lab (CHIL) at the University of Miami School of Architecture. Barnes’ practice investigates the connection between architecture and identity, examining architecture’s social and political agency through historical research and design speculation.
His work was recently exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art’s groundbreaking 2020 exhibition, "Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America," and the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial. He was awarded a 2021-22 Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Rome.
Edouard Duval-Carrié is an artist and curator who has been a part of Oolite Arts for decades, first as a resident artist and later as the first recipient of Oolite’s Michael Richards Award for eminent, Miami-based artists. His surreal mixed-media paintings incorporate Voodoo elements, mythology, and historical figures from Haiti’s past along with Haitian iconography. His work is in the collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and the Musée de Panthéon National Haïtien. He received the Conseil de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres medal from the Consul General of France in 2014.
