There is a story unfolding in Adler Guerrier: Formulating a Plot, the Miami artist’s solo exhibit at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. As the title suggests, however, it is not entirely finished, and it may never be. But it is an emerging tale of urban life and at times an uneasy existence, specifically that of Miami.
The somewhat obscure narrative starts physically on the left-hand side of the exhibition space, and it unfolds as you move through the photographs, collages, drawings, videos and sculpture, often with bits and pieces of text peeking out, that Guerrier has created since 1999. The journey ends up in the middle of the room, which is pierced with a huge site-specific installation. This is the first museum survey of Guerrier’s work, which marks another fascinating journey.
