Two new exhibitions are filling the second-floor galleries of the Sarasota Art Museum right now. While installation was still in the finishing stages when I toured the shows recently with their curators, both hold reasons to return for more than one viewing.

The larger show, Something Borrowed, Something New, plays off its title in more than one way, too. Every piece on view here—from artists including Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, David Hockney, Richard Serra, Sam Gilliam, Alex Katz, Kara Walker, Robert Mapplethorpe, Roy Lichtenstein, Cindy Sherman and many more—is borrowed from Southwest Florida collectors. And, secondly, the artists themselves “borrow” from earlier artworks and artists, as senior curator Rangsook Yoon points out. Some have been created very recently; others are older, but frequently the artists themselves have appropriated “earlier ideas, motifs, iconographies and genres to make something novel and fresh,” according to Yoon.

Between 80 and 90 works in all kinds of media, all borrowed from 10 area collectors, are on display. Viewers will see works influenced by Pop art, a gallery filled with just black and white pieces, multiple pieces by Ai Weiwei capturing crucial moments in his career, and borrowings from Cubist artists such as Picasso.

Photography, sculpture, prints and mixed media works are all part of the exhibit. Two paintings by longtime Sarasota artist Syd Solomon (who will be featured in an exhibit next season, pairing with works by his son, Mike) hang on the walls, and there’s a small box from 1971 by artist-activist Yoko Ono that will provoke you to smile into a small mirror. There’s also attention paid to Black history, both unhappy and, more recently, presenting more positive experiences, as in the works of Black artist Derrick Adams, whose pieces have been seen on the TV show Empire.

Overall, the show is a testimony not just to the artists creating work in such a range of style and techniques, but to the collectors who have a wide enough range of appreciation to acquire and share them.

The second show on view (both are at SAM through Sept. 27) focuses on just one artist: Maria A. Guzmán Capron. This California-based artist, born in Milan to Peruvian and Colombian parents, immigrated to Texas as a teenager. So it’s natural enough that she creates work related to her personal experiences navigating different cultures, languages and geographies, through 10 figurative textiles.

Maria A. Guzmán Capron: Penumbra, as the show is titled, was curated by Lacie Barbour, SAM’s associate curator of exhibitions, who says she’s been following Capron’s career for quite a while. Capron’s work with fabrics originally involved canvasing thrift stores, where she became fascinated with the enormous variety of clothing from people of all ages and backgrounds. Eventually, she moved from acquiring used materials to creating her own fabrics, painstakingly dyeing and screen printing them, as viewers will see, especially with several new works created specifically for this show.

As you can guess from the title, Penumbra, Capron’s pieces here all reference shadows; the word means almost or half-shadow, the gray area of a shadow that is not fully obscured but partially lit. In these pieces, the shadow doesn’t have a negative or frightening connotation of “the dark side.” Capron instead shows shadows that can be positive or caring, while interacting with some fantastical characters (“hot aliens,” she sometimes calls them) that are not necessarily human.

Nine of the show’s pieces are displayed on the walls, but the show’s centerpiece, Sombra (meaning Shade or Shadow), floats suspended from the ceiling in the center of the gallery space. It’s a larger-than-life soft sculpture, with an exaggerated scale and twisting limbs, confronting the viewer head-on. Capron sees is as a “shadow we can all share,” not bound to an individual as with the other works here.
