Official ABMB (Art Basel Miami Beach) one night event featuring seven artists commissioned to create an on site work incorporating Vizcaya’s themes. I chose to bring the imagery to life by asking mermaids to swim in the waters around the barge adorned by mermaid statuary, and singers dressed as the goddess statuary to sing to them on land. I also created a shadow puppet show in a tent by the water narrating a fanciful tale of Charles Deering’s South Florida landing.
