SunBlocks is a 7′ x 14′ handknotted wool and silk rug commissioned by Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places for the County’s GSA Facility lobby.

3000 square feet of handmade cement tile is now installed on the entry floor, column base and facade of Miami-Dade County‘s newly constructed LEED-certified GSA facility. The handmade wool and silk rug for the interior will be installed shortly, bringing the project to completion.

New works were created and exhibited in Brusand, Norway, at Nordisk kunst Plattform, a unique and original alternative space run by artistic/curatorial team Elizabeth Croft and Jan Kjetil Bjorheim. The workspace is a disused train station building, each room papered in a patterned vintage wallpaper. Travel was supported by an Artist Access Grant from Tigertail Productions in Miami.

BUILT

This exhibit features a selected group of artists from the book MIAMI CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS to whom the city, architecture and space are their main source of inspiration.

Whether through its unique buildings, its history, its seductive interiors, its labyrinth of streets, or its dynamic energy, the man made landscape provides these artists with the raw material and ideas with which they create their work.

Through their talents and their visions of what surrounds us, these artists make us look again at the city with open eyes and notice the beautiful poetry inherent in the urban built chaos.
-Paul Clemence
