Visitors are invited to explore the Main House with Ernesto Oroza’s map from 6 – 7 pm.
Miami is a city in constant flux, whose landscape is redefined every few years. In the context of Archetype Vizcaya, this roundtable invites several
artists to present and discuss with the public their current projects on Miami and its shifting geographies.
Participants include Kevin Arrow, Adler Guerrier, Nicolas Lobo, Gean Moreno, Ernesto Oroza, Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez, Lara Stein Pardo and Cesar Trasobares. Moderator: Flamina Gennari-Santori, Vizcaya’s Deputy Director for Collections and Curatorial Affairs
Tickets $5; free for Members, Seniors and Students with ID.
Archetype Vizcaya explores what happens when things are taken from their original context and given new purpose and meaning. Ernesto Oroza has created a “map” that invites visitors to discover things generally unseen. Through a provisional gallery on plexiglass, he challenges us to question what is original or authentic. And, in a compilation of amateur videos from the Web, Oroza shows how Vizcaya is “used” or appropriated by its visitors.
Archetype Vizcaya is on view through May 29, 2011.

WEIRD MIAMI Artist-led Bus Tours
JULY 18, AUGUST 15, & SEPTEMBER 19
WEIRD MIAMI is the chance to ditch our jaded views of Miami and become “tourists in the ‘weird’ pockets in our own city.” – Adler Guerrier
There is a much more interesting — sometimes dark — and never boring side to Miami, one only known to the people who inhabit this town. For any Miamian a typical day’s experiences could range from strange to the swampy sublime. Is there any such thing as “Flori-duh?” It is only when one accepts the city in all its glorious weirdness that one can unearth the cracked and quirky gems that lie hidden within.
The artists, both Miamians and non-natives, consider their experiences with people they have come across, through mysterious topographies they have discovered, and objects they have excavated or exhumed, as a way to make sense of or share their unique findings.
