Primary is proud to invite you to visit Miami World Center and view a collection of new artworks from Nina Chanel Abney, Franz Ackermann, Hernan Bas, Zadok Ben-David, Nick Cave, Woody De Othello, Viktor El-Saieh, Trenton Doyle Hancock, & Serge Toussaint. Open and viewable to the public, 24 hours a day at Miami World Center.
At inception, Primary knew that Miami needed to play a significant role in the narrative of this public exhibit, whether that be a geographical location, a history, or an identity. And with the world-class guidance of Jeffrey Deitch comes a focus on the human figure, an opportunity to recognize that the people, the city's inhabitants, define its greatness.
These ten works take the form of five site-specific murals, four life-sized sculptures, and a historic restoration that is now a part of our Miami landscape. Projects like this are why we work in contemporary art. They are fragile and precious, and to us, they are everything.
Public Art at Miami World Center could only come to fruition with the help of amazing artists and a group of hyper-talented people striving for a vision of excellence. First and foremost, we thank Nitin Motwani, Ben Feldman, Shaul Kuba, and Katya Hristova. We appreciate how you value the community by exhibiting exceptional works of art for the public to experience.
Much gratitude to our priceless advisory committee, Franklin Sirmans, Alex Gartenfeld, and Cecilia Alemani, who helped put our mission and narrative into greater perspective. A massive high five to Kathy Huang and Jennifer Estime for tireless hours being the glue and balance in every detail from concept to completion.
Thank you to all the galleries, photographers, and installers whose unmatched skills helped to see these pieces find their new home at Miami World Center. And to our PR Team, we appreciate your help getting out the good word; it's a pretty rad story to tell.
Finally, to the artists, thank you. Your involvement is a gift.
