Eyes in the Canopy

Eyes in the Canopy presents a group of artists whose approach to environmental issues proposes a new conversation surrounding the intangible dilemma of climate change.

Working across a diverse range of media, artists in the exhibition explore themes of landscape and the cultural intersection of aesthetics, architecture, and nature. Changes in urban planning, driven by economic growth, expansive populations, and city migration, have in recent years aggressively removed nature from designs and urban planning.

The thought of a violent variation in our ecosystem due to climate change is real and yet presents a myth as we slowly begin to experience the effects brought on by global warming. Artists selected for Eyes in the Canopy explore the tangible immediacy of climate change as an effect of our urban planning, the lack of natural landscape in our designs, and how the absence of nature is conditioning social structures on a global level. The exhibition explores such changes with artists asking these very questions. 

We share the water, the sky, and the landscape. Artists in Eyes in the Canopy have expansive ideas of how we share the earth we live on. Their art provides unique insights on a contemporary approach to architectural environments — the works in the exhibition struggle with a lack of nature in modern culture. These artists inform the myth of climate change while presenting the collective unconscious of a world that’s changing. Through their work, universal fears of climate issues heard but not seen are showcased. The exhibition encourages communities to share ideas of natural resilience and bring forth unprecedented ideas for change.

ALL THAT IS SOLID

 When considering the idea of form and function, a conversation arises between objects that exist as façade—inaccessible metonymic references to that which is concrete. ALL THAT IS SOLID exploits this concept to examine both social and economic development and the implications on urban growth as it relates to Miami's creative ecology. 

Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus movement, ALL THAT IS SOLID pays homage to this brief yet defining moment in history that succeeded in pollinating disparate relationships between design, architecture, and performance. The exhibition highlights artists who converge at the intersection of form, function, material, and action. 

ALL THAT IS SOLID is presented by Miami Design District in collaboration with Ground Control MIAMI and Placeholder. Special programming, including lectures, performances, and community activations will run through August.
