Andy Warhol: Fantasy America
Responding to photographs from Andy Warhol’s 1985 publication
America, contemporary artists are invited to react to the current
state of America triggered by their own sense of place and time.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Andy Warhol
Museum and curated by the museum’s Chief Curator Jose Carlos
Diaz.
PUBLIC ART PROJECTS BY MIAMI –BASED ARTISTS
2018- ongoing
Felecia Carlisle jetty project
Bal Harbour Jetty
Bal Harbour’s jetty is set to glow thanks to Felecia Carlisle’s
permanent installation of an in-laid terrazzo design that is a visual
depiction of the wind speed at the location. These “speed” stripes
will be created in various shades of a specialized terrazzo stone that
glows in the dark. Inspired by the preservation of the natural
environment, the surface of the jetty will rejuvenate providing a
natural glow as night falls, providing light with no external power
required. Commissioned by Bal Harbour Village, Carlisle is
represented by Brook Dorsch Gallery in Miami.
January 15- November 15, 2018
Robert Chambers Rotorelief
Bal Harbour’s Founder’s Circle
Robert Chambers Rotorelief, on loan from the Taplin collection, is a
working helicopter with blades changed out for hypnotic discs, a
design inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s spinning optical
experiments. Rotorelief will be placed on Founder’s Circle in the
center of Collins Avenue as if having landed to take guests to a Bal
Harbour hotel, or perhaps shopping. Dedicated to the late Marty
Taplin, the work will also sit next to a plaque where Bal Harbour
Founder Sol Taplin has his name. This work is presented with
thanks to Cricket Taplin. Chambers is represented by Brook Dorsch
Gallery in Miami.
In progress
Troy Simmons bridge project
A trained architectural designer and environmental scientist, artist
Troy Simmons is the perfect candidate to intervene with the
underside of Bal Harbour’s bridge between the jetty and the
Quarxo luxury hotel. Inspired by Brutalist architecture, and working
with concrete, metal and uniquely mixed colors, Simmons creates
interventions that both brighten and appear as if integrated within,
the natural environment. This project will be commissioned by Bal
Harbour Village and Quarzo Luxury Boutique hotel.
