It’s only when you look at a map of the world that has the International Date Line rather than the Greenwich Meridian at its centre that you can see just how remote New Zealand is. Adrift in the vastness of the Pacific, with the Antarctic Ocean to the south, suddenly even Australia doesn’t look very close – and it’s not, at 1,600km away.
Perhaps the perfect show for these times,
Illuminate Coral Gables is an outdoor art exhibition of eight projects that incorporate video projections, sculpture, and installations, all scattered throughout the city s downtown area. Kiki Smith s Blue Night consists of mirrored renderings that denote actual constellations strung up along Giralda Plaza, while Carlos Estévez s technology-based Urban Universes is an immersive work that adorns the façade of the historic Coral Gables City Hall. The exhibition will be on view until March 14, but bear in mind that certain projects are only viewable on certain days.
6 p.m. Thursday, across downtown Coral Gables; illuminatecoralgables.org. Admission is free.
