Join us in the Miami Design District for the unveiling of a new site-specific commission by Ad Minoliti, extending across four floors of the Buick Building. Limited capacity. RSVP is mandatory.
This site-specific installation reimagines the space of the stairwell as a digestive tube for the Buick building. “I was inspired by the digestive system that moves food through the body, and by thinking of these internal spaces as an ecosystem,” Minoliti described. Microbiota refers to the bacteria, viruses and fungi that are crucial for immunologic, hormonal, and metabolic balance of all multicellular organisms. “There are an estimated 100 billion bacteria in the human body. We can't live without them. We contain multitudes.”
Throughout the four floors, a group of silhouettes with rectangular heads and swirling legs transform the stairwell into a living body. The square forms echo the visual language of the Concrete art movements in Argentina and Uruguay during the 1940s and ‘50s, paying tribute to artists from the Madí Group, while subverting their legacy with humor and queerness.
