South Florida PBS‘s Art Loft on the recent art events, including the latest iteration of No Vacancy 2024.
Art transforms some of Miami Beach’s most iconic places with “No Vacancy.” This juried art competition brings together 12 talented local artists to create site-specific public works to be displayed across 12 famed hotel properties. From lobby installations to outdoor alleys, this program reimagines public spaces as dynamic canvases for contemporary art. Among the excitement of Art Week Miami Beach and Art Basel, No Vacancy gives local artists a spot to shine on Miami Beach.
Jeffrey Noble and Alison Matherly, the duo behind art collaborative, We Are Nice’n Easy welcome visitors to their installation entitled, “Soft Squeeze.” It’s a playfully giant yet thought-provoking inflatable sculpture suspended in an alleyway behind Esmé Miami Beach.
At the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel, artist Adler Guerrier presents “Objects, Landscapes and Things.” The multimedia work explores South Florida’s environment and temporality – all in a bright corner of the hotel lobby.
Artist Magnus Sodamin takes over the lobby of the Faena Hotel with a contemporary work. Delicate rose-gold representations of Floridian wildlife are suspended in the grand space. While the imagery may be whimsical, the piece asks viewers to reflect on humanity’s fragile relationship with nature.
The lobby of the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club is home to artist Marielle Plaisir’s work, “Rhapsody for a Beloved World.” The work is a backlit collage that encourages joy and harmony, with the possibility for a more peaceful and inclusive world.
Artist Dennis Scholl’s work is on view at the Hotel Croydon. The artist’s trademark ray-like dodecagon motifs are arranged in a 12-sided structure to represent time, memory, and the collective experiences we all share.

Gauzy film between
evergreens is a web
of loss. Get closer. Reach
to touch the shimmering
gossamer and your finger
pushes through. Remember
filling that space with desire?
Someone else might grieve
the spider who abandoned
this home; others grow anxious
waiting for a deer’s walk
to wreck it. But you—
you grieve the net of thought
spun inside your own womb:
intricate and glossy and strong.

In the quiet, Vera could hear its sharp puffs of breath—low and fast—a complete and utter confusion. A denial. The eyes like blank boxes, but there, in their depths, a sense of something moving. A frantic dancing. Erratic. Vera felt her heart pumping awkwardly, palpitating. “Please wait,” Vera whispered.
And then it died. Just like that, she felt it go. Something horrible and also strangely thrilling in it.

“Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?
Those people were a kind of solution. “

The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art, August 02, 2024 – September 21, 2024.
The Guggenheim Bilbao was hardly the first iconic building, but it was the first to be credited with a measurable economic spin-off. And while that temporarily elevated the status of architects to near deities, it proved detrimental in the long run. After the Guggenheim, architecture was never quite the same. A single building had defied all expectation, only for expectations to defy all of architecture ever since. Economic success became the measure of architecture’s quality, to which architecture, in turn, had no choice but to apply itself. Architecture found itself in debt to promises it didn’t make and ultimately can’t fulfill. After Bilbao, ambitious museum projects could only fail. And they did.
