FIU Art & Art History is pleased to highlight the work of Assistant Teaching Professor Moira Holohan (Moira Holohan), currently featured in Verdure, presented by Dimensions Variable (Dimensions Variable) at Hotel Croydon in Miami Beach (Hotel Croydon).

For Holohan, chroma green—the green of the film industry’s green screen—has become a contemporary signifier: a portal, a marker of unstable identity, a place of transformation. In the works on view, that green migrates from the digital into the textile and the painted mark, carrying with it the instability of a space where one image ends and another begins.

In Verdure, Holohan’s work participates in an exploration of green across different relationships to land, surface, and image—considering green not simply as a color, but as a condition.

📍 Hotel Croydon | 3720 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL
📅 On view in Verdure

Verdure features the work of Nicole Burko, Moira Holohan, and Karen Starosta-Gilinski.

Congratulations to Pablo Matute (Pablo F Matute), a graduate of FIU Art + Art History, on his first solo exhibition, LOAD BEARING, opening at Mahara+Co (Mahara+Co (+a)) in Miami.

Matute grew up closely connected to the construction trade, accompanying his father to work and learning its materials, gestures, and processes from an early age. What began as part of his everyday environment gradually became part of his artistic vocabulary. In LOAD BEARING, he draws from this lived knowledge to reconsider materials associated with building, shifting them away from their conventional use and toward painting, gesture, and form.

Opening: September 5, 6–9 PM
On view: September 5–October 9, 2026
