Dimension Variable: Vice Versa by artist Leyla Cárdenas

Feb 4 - Mar 31, 2017

Over the last few years, Leyla Cárdenas has developed a series of works that investigate the layers that compose architectural spaces and directly relate to the physicality of a space as a point of departure. She explores the profound trail of experiences left within each space. Her work is sculptural without making objects, it uses destruction as a way to build new narratives—allowing a new engagement with the same place.

Leyla will use remnants from the demolition of several walls from the renovation to examine the history of the space. Leyla’s project will pay homage to this rich history and bring attention to Miami’s art and cultural history. With a city interested in the latest and the new, where we struggle to preserve the historical spaces we have left, we hope Leyla’s work invigorates a passion for peeling back the layers and understanding where we come from.
