The pages of Double Trouble are eccentric repositories for language that doubles and mirrors, and they derive from a natural, spirited collaboration between artist and poet, whose imaginations are aroused along similar lines. The scenes depicted evoke traditional scroll narratives as well as scenography from 1960s and 70s cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. They uncover the miraculous (or at least the humorous) amidst the banalities of everyday situations and stories. Weinberg’s interest in hand-drawn typography and signage is evident, and the words float like banners or subtitles, or are planted like lawn signs or billboards in the landscapes and interiors. An extra bright laser is focused on the feminist condition. Pattern as visual rhythm is engaged in these works, and the repeated phrases have an aural incantatory quality, like mantras or echoes.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens’ Contemporary Arts Program (CAP) presented A Futurist Evening at Vizcaya on December 7, 2013, during Art Basel Miami Beach. Eight local artists and/of collaborations were commissioned to create site-specific, performance-based works for a one-night only exhibition. The artists’ works were installed throughout Vizcaya’s Main House and Gardens. More than 1,000 guests attended the event.
Free School: Disruptive Pattern in Literature and Art
Michelle Weinberg and Denise Delgado invited guests to participate in a lesson inspired by Futurist poetry and rhetoric in Free School. The class congregated in a tent-like room decorated—as were the instructors’ uniforms—with “dazzle patterns” inspired by those created by English Futurists and used to camouflage warships beginning in the First World War.

Artist Eugenia Vargas invited other artists to install works throughout her home. This simple act was instrumental in kickstarting Miami’s sleepy art scene, getting people together, and inspiring other artists to initiate their own projects.
