“ALTER EGO” | Christian Magaldi Architecture Studio
It’s Cruz de Mayo guey!
Say what?
No building activity today…
Magaldi’s recent migration to one of Miami Downtown’s most beloved buildings (The Huntington Building) had to be celebrated in fresh style. What better way to inject vibrant energy into the space than with a color filled tapebomb installation?
We chose today (May 3rd) for its symbolic meaning in Mexican culture: the Cruz de Mayo holiday. The Fiesta de las Cruces is celebrated in Mexico mainly by guilds and unions involved in construction. A cross is adorned with flowers and paper is placed in a high position on a building in the process of construction. The workers then celebrate with local cuisine and alcoholic beverages such as tequila, mezcal and local beer.
No cross with paper was adorned here, just a promising space with colored tapes.
“SPIDER NESTS” | Miami Design District
The last weekend of January caught me eager to explore a new format for the (accidental) series of Tape-Bombing pieces I’ve been working on. This time I went solo. Having been kicked out of this bitty construction site once before, I revisited it for my own insatiable desire’s sake.
You can’t blame a girl with a wild hunger for color if she can’t turn her back to the perfect canvas. In my mind, I fixed it.
“PROCESS” began as a personal record to document the creative (repeat title) that took the most basic and understated materials (inches and inches of color tape) into an hedonistic, fantasy-futuristic, extravagant, impractical and unnecessary pair of fashion accessories.
This video documentation ended up being a relevant (if not the most) one-third of the triad that conforms “PROCESS | EVIDENCE”, the pieces created for the Wolfsonian Museum’s Visionaries Anniversary Gala, suitably themed The Art of Illumination.
Ten Miami based architects and designers were invited to be part of The Art Illumination challenge. Among this buncha talented heads was mine. Such an honor.
Oklahoma, I love you so!
Surprise me, surprise me, surprise me more. I’ll be back Oklahoma, and I promise it won’t take long. Flashbacks from a land I didn’t know before. Your dimmed out colors, your very famous Mother Road, from every angle a gust of dry prairie-land-wind blows.
See you soon, land of tribes, see you very, very soon.
National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Oklahoma City, OK.
- Hello, 2 tickets please. One adult, and one adult-aged but childish-headed person.
- We’re closing at 4 PM today, there is an art auction going on.
(Elegantly dressed people arriving. We saw them. I think I still had some Turner Falls Park water dropping from my hair, and my flip flops were as dusty as the old Wild West).
- But here… (free passes!). Make sure you check this and that.
Holy hospitality!!! People, why are you so nice here?
