A. A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (i) in fact causes a delay in the performance of the Grantee or the
City's obligations under the Agreement, and (ii) is beyond the reasonable control of such party unable to
perform the obligation, and (iii) is not due to an intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such party,
and (iv) could not have reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such party at any time prior to the
occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil
insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions,
quarantine restrictions,transportation accidents,strikes,strong hurricanes or tornadoes,earthquakes,or other
acts of God which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility, inclement
weather, or failure to secure any of the required permits pursuant to the Agreement.
B. If the City or Grantee's performance of its contractual obligations is prevented or delayed by an event believed
by the party to be Force Majeure, such party shall immediately upon learning of the occurrence of the event
or of the commencement of any such delay, but in any case within fifteen (15)business days thereof, provide
notice of(i)of the occurrence of event of Force Majeure, (ii) of the nature of the event and the cause thereof,
(iii) of the anticipated impact on the Agreement, (iv) of the anticipated period of the delay, and (v) of what
course of action such party plans to take in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of the event. The timely
delivery of the notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event is a condition precedent to allowance of any
relief pursuant to this section; however, receipt of such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the event
claimed to be a Force Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of the occurrence of a
Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party.

suspension of any of the obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater
scope and no longer duration than is required. The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to
perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected
by the Force Majeure event,and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise
to remedy its inability to perform to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure
event with all reasonable dispatch.
D. Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing
the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence
makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for
obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject
to the Force Majeure provisions.
E. In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this Agreement beyond its stated term. If any condition

platform. She invites artists and entrepreneurs consider how green tech and modular living can
change cityscapes and exhibition design. The show will open in November and include a public
program of talks and activations during the 2022 edition of Art:Basel: Miami and the NADA Art
Fair.
Jessica Gispert: January-February 2023 (Pop-up venue)
Artist Jessica Gispert returned home to Miami in 2021 after 6 years in Berlin, and BFI is pleased
to present her first solo show in Miami.After recently completing her major public art
commission for the Brisas Del Este through Miami-Dade's APP program, Gispert will create a
site specific project rooted in her Cuban heritage, inspired by an uncle who was a respected
practitioner of Santeria.
Heat Exchange:
November 2022: Bring 3 Scandinavian artists to Miami Beach
June 2023: Bringing 3 Miami based artists to Norway

Heat Exchange residency took place in July 2021, and brought Norwegian artists Sid Borge,
Hannan Benammar, and Maret Anne Sara to Miami for a month of artmaking, studio visits, and
workshops with the three Miami-based artists who will be traveling to Norway in May 2022: Loni
Johnson, Rev. Houston Cypress of the Otter Clan, and misael soto. Miami based artists for Heat
Exchange 2 will include: Jessica Gispert, Orlando Estrada, and one to be selected from an
upcoming BFI exhibition. Norway-based artists for the second residency will be selected by an

Denmark.
Aesthetics of Excess: March -May 2023 (Pop-up venue)
Dr. Jillian Hernandez will curate a show for BFI expanding on her recent book, "Aesthetics of
Excess: The Art and Politics of Black and Latina Embodiment", that examines how working-
class Black and Latina girls and women are often framed as embodying "excessive"styles that
are presumed to indicate sexual deviance—and how, at the same time, their style can be a
source of cultural capital when appropriated by the contemporary art scene.
Ongoing: Coral City Camera by Coral Morphologic
The Coral City Camera will stream live 24/7 from an urban coral reef just off Miami Beach. This
WATERPROOF project by Coral Morphologic was co-produced with Bridge Initiative and has
reached more than 100,000 viewers from all over the world since it was launched in 2019.
Project description as revised based upon the City Commission approved award:
Fall 2022 -Anna Frost curated exhibition
BFI will present a curated group exhibition by Danish curator Anna Frost, presenting works by
emerging artists from the Nordic region and local talent. Her curatorial practice deals with multi-
purpose space and unconventional exhibition formats. In recent research she has focused on
the tiny house movement as a site for artistic development and as a contemporary mobile
exhibition platform. With BFI currently being a nomadic project, her exhibition will highlight the
possibilities and benefits of retooling the brick and mortar constraint in a society on the move.
Winter 2022 -Jessica Gispert
After 6 years based in Germany, Gispert returned home to Miami in 2021. BFI is excited to
present her first solo show in Miami. Coming at the heels of her first major public art commission
for the Brisas Del Este through Miami Dade's APP program, Gispert will be creating a site
specific project rooted in her Cuban heritage, specifically inspired by an Uncle who was a
respected practitioner of Santeria.
Spring 2023 -Jillian Hernandez
Reconceived by the curator as a solo show of Kenya (Robinson)to Winter 2023 due to Artist
Availablity and project requiring additional funding. Expanding on her recent book, "Aesthetics of
Excess: The Art and Politics of Black and Latina Embodiment", Jillian Hernandez will curate a
show for BFI that examines how working-class Black and Latina girls and women are often
framed as embodying"excessive"styles that are presumed to indicate sexual deviance—and
how, at the same time, their style can be a source of cultural capital when appropriated by the
contemporary art scene. This exhibition with Hernandez comes 15 years after she initiated a
show at BFI titled MOD 11: Discourses with Incarcerated Girls, that explored how artists'
practices were shaped by their experiences making art with girls incarcerated at the Miami-
Dade County Juvenile Detention Center through the Women on the Rise! project. In 2007, MOD
11: Discourses with Incarcerated Girls, was BFI's first exhibition that received funding support
from Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs, and began our ongoing, invaluable relationship
with the department! Works from that original show are currently featured in the critically
acclaimed exhibition Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration at MoMA PS1 in New
York.
