67th Street Beach, behind the Deauville Hotel
“The beach becomes a materialization of an idea that authority over visual culture doesn’t simply need to be confined to the white walls of an institution..." - SFP15
Fringe Projects Miami is proud to present an afternoon of temporary interventions curated by Justin H. Long.
Treating the city of Miami and Miami Beach as a platform, Fringe Projects commissions temporary, site-determined projects in the public realm. Fringe Projects makes extreme efforts to privilege artists ideas and engage in a commissioning process that supports experimentation, field-work and in-depth research of sites and contexts.
Grupo Anan Superman y Marilynd
Grupo Anan reintroduce two recognizable characters, Superman Y Marilynd. In an open display of affection and devotion, the two lovers come together for an afternoon of happiness and relaxation on Miami Beach. Glowing and bronzing beneath the warmth of the sun, reading The New Yorker and participating in the carefree artisanal atmosphere, the couple collage themselves into sceneries and scenarios. New fictions give way to hidden truths ultimately falling apart in the hands of spectator/viewer/participant. Could this be true love? You be the judge.
Grupo Anan was born in Mexico City in 2015 somewhere between the pre and post classical sections of the Museo Nacional de Anthropologia. At its core, Grupo Anan exists as an artist duo, meanwhile incorporating the efforts of outside collaborators to produce works that sometimes blur the line between author, participant, viewer and cohort. (Maybe we are all Grupo Anan.)
SPF15 Kult of Konsciousness
In this play, flowers cannibalize each other while stuck at home, eating salads and awaiting the birth of a baby flower. A cult is formed. The play was written through a non hierarchical collaboration in which costume, set, and script all feed off one another and inform the end narrative. Lila De Magalhaes, Audrey Hope, and Kim-Anh Schreiber are the creators and stars in this three person play.
SPF15, a nomadic San Diego-based exhibition series engages the beach as a site of aesthetic and critical inquiry to better understand how we engage with objects and others at the border of land and sea, nude and clothed, and the busiest border crossing in the world, San Ysidro. For Beach Is Better, the 10x10' pop-up tent SPF15 functions out of will become a playhouse for an all day play.
Detroit Bad Boys & Girls Athletic ClubSoccer Match
The Detroit Bad Boys & Girls Athletic Club will be hosting a soccer match on Miami's beautiful sandy beaches. During the busy hustle n' bustle that is Miami fair season we feel it is imperative to take time to not only exercise ones mind but also ones body. We will be playing two short halves with a break at halftime, to make a few doodles and recuperate, all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to participate. Refreshments will of course be provided and all participants will be *given a commemorative jersey to call your own!
Detroit Bad Boys & Girls Athletic Club is an artistic athletic club based in the greater metro Detroit area focused on promoting fitness and a healthy lifestyle to members of the city's creative class.
