Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

Miami, FL  33129

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.
