Every Wall is a Door
“Trippy, meditative, gorgeous.” — Arthur Lubow, The New York Times
In the inaugural Superblue exhibition Every Wall is a Door, artists Es Devlin, teamLab, and James Turrell take us through immersive light, video, and sound environments. Es Devlin stages complex performative spaces that reveal how we relate to the earth, teamLab grounds us in nature to awaken our sensory response to all living forms, and James Turrell manipulates light and vision to investigate the power of perception.
With his poetic installation Pulse Topology, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer presents the second installment of Superblue Miami’s Suspension Program, a rotating series of site-specific artworks that elicit disbelief and provoke engagement with the ordinary environment, rendered extraordinary. Previous installations: Meadow by DRIFT.
