WEEK 3: NUMA PERRIER - August 2
Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at 9:07AM
WEEK 3: Numa Perrier - room 1) "Florida Water" room 2) "Florida Water" installation - opens August 2nd. We will also have an artist talk with Numa Perrier at the opening. It will begin at 6:30pm and will be followed by the "Florida Water" debut.
Set in the backdrop of Port Au Prince, Haiti, Florida Water is the reconstruction of fragmented memories of my Haitian mother who I always knew of but never met until I was 17 years old. The video installation is a moving collage of ritual, and the accompanying photo/ sculptural installation takes my fascination and admiration of my mothers world -- and suspends it in time within a tangible tapestry.
