About the presenter

Barron Sherer, born in Rock Hill, South Carolina, lives and works in Miami, Florida. He is a time-based media artist with a background in moving image archival practices. In Miami, he focuses on altering and repurposing archived films and videos in cinematic, para-cinematic, and gallery installation contexts. Sherer's formal experimentation creates documentation and source material for his temporary and experiential installations.  

In 2017, Sherer received a South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship. He founded a studio project in 2020 with a significant Knight Foundation investment. He won a 2020 Oolite Arts Ellies Creators Award for a large-scale moving image installation. Sherer is a 2023 Knight Foundation Art + Tech Expansion Fund recipient to invest in his analog to digital artmaking workflows. Currently, Barron is a 2024 Project Artist in Residence at Deering Estate.

Recent work has been exhibited widely and locally at the Frost Museum of Art, Perez Art Museum Miami, Dimensions Variable, and Emerson Dorsch Miami. Sherer's 2018 solo exhibition in Australia, MIAMI/MIAMI, featured 16-mm installations and video projections at Walls Gallery in Miami, Queensland, Gold Coast. Barron's film work is part of the Centre Pompidou Film Collection, Canyon Cinema Foundation, and private collections. 

About the Division of Special Collections & Archives

Miami-Dade Public Library System’s Division of Special Collections & Archives holds rare and irreplaceable historical documents for the benefit of the public and scholarly community. They oversee the Helen Muir Florida Collection, 16mm Film Collection, Cuban Collection of Rare Books & Ephemera, Genealogy Collection, Vasari Project, and rare & antiquarian books from as early as the 17th century. The Division's primary goal is to provide the public with the contents of the vault at their request. Its collections include rare books, original manuscripts, over 18,000 photographs, prints, artifacts, audiovisual resources, and electronic media.

About the Film Collection

The 16mm film collection has been part of the Library's holdings for over 55 years. Its first films were part of the City of Miami’s public library and began in the 1960s before there was a county library. When MDPLS was formed, the County supplemented its local funding for films with Federal LSCA grants (Library Services and Construction Act). Apart from leased feature films, all films were purchased for free exhibition for the life of the print. Subjects within the collection include experimental/avant-garde art films, non-narrated films, children’s films, Black history, Floridiana, and local history. Today, there are over 4,000 films within the collection.
