Miami Dérive: Walking with Adler Guerrier, BURNAWAY

Burnaway magazine published a text by Ade J. Omotosho. It is generous of its subjects.

We passed through rows of the winsome, modest single-story homes that line the streets, vivid in their mamey pinks, robin’s egg blues, and other confectionery colors that comprise the city’s unmistakable palette. Lately Guerrier has been fascinated with the creation of what he calls “immigrant space” within Miami’s neighborhoods, and he is developing a film project centered on this phenomenon. For instance, much has been made of the way that people of the African diaspora adorn and furnish domestic spaces, but relatively less of how we fashion exterior space, which Guerrier believes is an equally viable realm for families to “insist on” their presence and sensibilities.

Omotosho was a curatorial fellow at Pérez Art Museum Miami.

Seeks out the edges of things, of understanding

“Art seeks out the edges of things, of understanding; therefore its favourite modes are irony, negation, deadpan, the pretence of ignorance or innocence. It prefers the unfinished: the syntactically unstable, the semantically malformed. It produces and savours discrepancy in what it shows and how it shows it, since the highest wisdom is knowing that things and pictures do not add up.” –T.J. Clark, The Painting of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and his Followers, 1984.

Epigraph of Sue Graze’s essay for Concentrations 17: Vernon Fisher, Lost for Words, Dallas Museum of Art from January 23 – April 17, 1988.
