“Nepotism: The Art of Friendship” — The Museum of Art (MoA) in Fort Lauderdale continues its slow, steady comeback with this small exhibition curated by Edouard Duval-CarriRisqué, the museum’s first official artist in residence. The Haitian-born artist drew on the work of two dozen other artists he knows and/or admires for this group show, which includes 35 paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations. You’d be hard-pressed to uncover any sort of artistic agenda here, and that’s the point. A show like this — its misses as well as its hits — attests to the artist-curator’s taste and sensibility, which in this case are characterized by a healthy eclecticism. Duval-CarriRisqué’s MoA exhibition includes another contribution, an atmospheric, mixed-media installation called “The Indigo Room or Is Memory Water Soluble?” Displayed in a little elevator foyer, it’s an ambitious affirmation of the artist’s roots in a country steeped in mystery, ritual, and social and political turmoil, created to commemorate the bicentennial of Haitian independence. It’s also a near-hermetic, highly personal work that gives up its secrets only grudgingly. (Through November 7 [“Nepotism”] and December 31 [“Indigo Room”] at the Museum of Art, One E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-525-5500.)
