Miami November, early December 2025
Moving out of our apartment for a year… We get the boat, play some golf, put away “stuff”, enjoy a few exhibits…
Art basel is about to begin, we can enjoy some instalations on the beach
Especially Es Devlin’s: “library of us”. It is a 50-foot-wide rotating triangular bookshelf containing 2500 books including the texts that have influenced Es Devlin. The illuminated triangular sculpture rotates like a mirrored compass needle within a circular reflecting pool surrounded by a 70-foot- wide collective reading table, set daily with Devlin’s personally annotated books that viewers are invited to read as their seats revolve around one another. Each day, Devlin sets the reading table with her annotated, margin-scrawled books. On the outside circumference of the table there are static stools so visitors can sit and read. On the inside circumference the stools revolve slowly with the rotating bookshelf, allowing visitors to encounter a new text and a new face with each degree of rotation. One of the shelves in the revolving bookshelf is filled with a 30’ wide strip of LED subtitle screen. Throughout the day, phrases from 250 texts are illuminated on the screen accompanied by a recording of the artist’s voice reading them, underscored with compositions by British composers Polyphonia.
Leaving to Santa Cruz de los Zacatitos Mexico until May!
School pictures of Charlotte & Isabel in London. They grow soooo fast!
