Pedestrians through the downtown area will spot the work of Cuban-born, Miami-based artist Carlos Estévez, who is developing video content on people’s movements, interactions, and sense of community. His first technology-based artwork, the video-mapped projection will be cast over the entire surface of the historic Coral Gables City Hall building.
Another technologically and artistically intricate work: Kiki Smith’s
Blue Night, commissioned by the city specifically for Illuminate Coral Gables. The 40-by-190-foot installation will create a wonderland of constellations in Giralda Plaza.
Other works that use video mapping and projections will be found in Gables International Plaza (AKA the Davidson Building) on Le Jeune Road; Actors’ Playhouse on Miracle Mile; and Coral Gables Museum’s façade on Aragon Avenue.
