FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 25, 2019
Press Conference for Leandro Erlich’s Order of Importance
WHO/WHAT: Please join the City of Miami Beach on Monday, December 2 at 9 a.m.
for a press conference and walk-through of Order of Importance, a
monumental temporary installation on the shore of Miami Beach.
.
Taking place from December 1–15, 2019, Erlich’s playful and surreal
installation for Miami Beach will recast the 21st century traffic jam as 66
life-sized sculptures of cars and trucks queued at an imaginary stand still
on the oceanfront at Lincoln Road.
Internationally renowned for combining elements of sculpture,
architecture, and theater to disrupt the audience’s natural view of the
world, Erlich’s colossal installation will be the largest work produced by
the artist to date.
The site-specific work has been commissioned by the City of Miami
Beach and curated by Ximena Caminos in collaboration with Brandi
Reddick, Culture Affairs Manager at the City of Miami Beach. This work
marks the city’s first-ever temporary public art project.
Visitors will be able to walk through Order of Importance’s strikingly
familiar scene of modernity from December 1—15, coinciding with Miami
Art Week.
WHEN: Monday, December 2 at 9 a.m.
WHERE: Beachfront at Lincoln Road, Order of Importance Hospitality Tent
