Mette Tommerup\u2019s \u2018High Tide Low Tide\u2019 Flows Through Deering Estate<\/p>\n

Water takes on a different scale at Deering Estate, where performances and installations unfold across the Deering Estate grounds and inside the Visitor Center Theater.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh Tide Low Tide,\u201d an exhibition and series of immersive experiences by Miami-based artist Mette Tommerup opens Saturday, Oct. 10 and continues through Sunday, Nov. 8, with a series of \u201cWaves.\u201d \u00a0Her practice involves super-sized scaled canvas installations that reference the elements.<\/p>\n

Rooted in Miami\u2019s tidal geography and Tommerup\u2019s Scandinavian heritage, \u201cHigh Tide Low Tide\u201d features four different experiences at Deering Estate. The first is Wave 1 and Wave 2 on Saturday, Oct. 10, and features \u201cSphere,\u201d a performance on the estate\u2019s waterfront lawn in which a movement artist activates a large blue sculptural form and surrounding canvas elements \u201cShelter\u201d includes blue canvases suspended from trees, canvas-covered boulders and a blue structure that reimagines the Sea King\u2019s palace as a place of refuge, care and imagination. In \u201cBetween Tides,\u201d blue canvas paintings transform the pathways into temporary tidal channels through which visitors can walk.<\/p>\n

Wave 3 moves to the stage for a conceptual theater piece inside the Deering Estate Visitor Center on Saturday, Oct. 24. The play, staged with actors, is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s \u201cThe Little Mermaid,\u201d and explores emotional currents, transformation and unseen worlds revealed through creativity.<\/p>\n

The final wave is \u201cKing Tide,\u201d which begins with a sunset viewing on the Deering Estate\u2019s front lawn, followed by an open mic event in the Visitor Center Theater, where participants can present a short story, dance, song or poem, on Sunday, Nov. 8.<\/p>\n

The Wolfsonian Goes \u2018Beyond Nietzsche\u2019<\/p>\n

FIU associate professor of voice Robert B. Dundas and The Wolfsonian\u2019s chief librarian Frank Luca as well as digitization specialist\u2014and soprano\u2014Hannah Gauthier, along with pianist Juvenal Correa-Salas, will bring Peter Gast\u2019s story and music to life in an evening of live performance and storytelling.<\/p>\n

El Espacio 23 and Pinta Co-Partner On Artist Residency<\/p>\n

Pinta Art Foundation, which supports professional opportunities for Latin American artists, and El Espacio 23 have formed a new residency partnership connected to Pinta Miami, the annual fair devoted to modern and contemporary Latin American art.<\/p>\n

The artist will be selected during the fair, scheduled for Dec. 3 through 6 in Miami. Pinta Art Foundation will cover the artist\u2019s airfare, while El Espacio 23 will provide accommodations and participation in the residency.<\/p>\n

The program is designed to give the selected artist time and space to develop new work, exchange ideas and establish connections with Miami\u2019s cultural community. The partnership may also serve as a model for future residencies connected to Pinta\u2019s other fairs and platforms.<\/p>\n

El Espacio 23\u2019s residency houses three apartments and a shared work space. The residency includes living space, shared studio space, and a production budget for artists and curators across various stages in their careers. Programming is year-round and the length of the stay depends on the interest of the curator or the complexity of the artists\u2019 projects.<\/p>\n
