This year’s Ekphrasis project will focus on the video exhibition of Eve Sussman, Rape of the Sabine Women, a contemporary reinterpretation of the eponymous Roman Legend. Salterini and Baumgarten will weave live dance through the upstairs gallery drawing from and reflecting this brilliant 1960’s reenactment of the ancient tale. Each performance will run approximately 60 minutes. This special event is not to be missed!
Past year’s presentations were met with critical and public acclaim and the event packed audiences into spaces throughout the museum and its beautiful grounds.
“…a visually surprising embodiment of the artist’s struggle to bring an idea into form…” – Annie Hollingsworth, Artburst Miami.
“The marriage of the performance pieces with the installations created such an intense symbiosis of visual and physical texture that you could have easily believed the curator always had it in mind to present the artwork with the dancers.” – Miguel Estefan, Miami Art Guide.
