  The World of Anna Sui
  February 28 – October 3, 2021
  This major retrospective exhibition explores the glamorous and eclectic world of one of New York’s most
  beloved and accomplished designers. Anna Sui has become known for creating fabulously original
  clothing inspired by intensive research into vintage fashion and popular culture. The exhibition ranges
  from early looks such as exuberant Carnaby Street schoolgirl outfits worn by supermodels Linda
  Evangelista and Naomi Campbell in Sui’s first runway show in 1991, to the cowboy and cheerleaders
  modeled by Gigi and Bella Hadid during her Spring/Summer 2017 Americana-themed collection. Born in
  the suburbs of Detroit, Sui joined New York’s cultural underground at an intensely creative time in the
  1970s, forming important relationships in the worlds of fashion, photography, art, music and design. The
  exhibition looks at Sui’s artistic journey through her creative process, collections, interiors, and
  collaborations. Items on view will also include fashions worn by Sui’s personal style icons who
  include Anita Pallenberg and Jane Holzer, along with her distinctly graphic textiles as well as those
  created with prominent partners including Zandra Rhodes and Barbara Hulanicki. The World of Anna Sui
  is curated by Dennis Nothdruft. The exhibition was originally displayed and organized by the
  Fashion and Textile Museum, London and was also presented in Shanghai, Tokyo and New
  The presentation of The World of Anna Sui at NSU Art Museum is generously sponsored by The Douglas
  A. Hirsch and Holly S. Andersen Family Foundation in honor of Jane B. Holzer. Additional support provided by The
  David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation.
  Eric N. Mack: Lemme walk across the room
  March 6 – Fall, 2021
  Lemme walk across the room, the large-scale installation by New York-based artist Eric N. Mack (b.
  1987) that premiered at the Brooklyn Museum in 2019, is being reimagined for NSU Art Museum’s grand
  second-floor gallery. Comprised of textile-based works, hung, mounted and draped in conversation with
  the museum’s architecture, Mack’s installation expands the boundaries of painting, sculpture, and
  fashion, dynamically reflecting and framing the rich visual experiences of the everyday as it also
  acknowledges the history of abstract (expressionist) painting.
  Eric N. Mack: Lemme walk across the room is organized by NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale based on an exhibition
  originally presented by the Brooklyn Museum. The Brooklyn Museum presentation was curated by Ashley James,
  former Assistant Curator, Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum (currently Associate Curator, Contemporary Art,
  Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum).
