Exciting New Art Installation “Seats of Solitude” Makes Its Debut in Orlando
Mark your calendars, Orlando art enthusiasts! On January 16th, the city will buzz with excitement as the new art installation titled “Seats of Solitude” by the talented Peterson Guerrier takes center stage at the innovative ArtCube. This unique exhibition promises to offer a creative exploration of public transportation and its heartfelt significance.
A Unique Space for Impactful Art
The ArtCube is not your typical art venue. Bursting with creativity, this micro space is ingeniously designed within a shipping container, thanks to architect Ryan Young. It’s tucked away behind the sidewalk at the entrance of Interstruct, a highly-regarded design firm based in Orlando. This brilliant setup allows pedestrians and drivers alike to enjoy the art pieces at any time of the day, thanks to its one-inch tempered glass panel that offers a stunning view inside the container.
Designed with the Audience in Mind
What’s fascinating about the ArtCube is that each installation is intended for outside viewing. While visitors enjoy the art from the sidewalk, only the artists or tech support will enter the intimate space. This unique arrangement means that the art is meant to be savored and experienced from outside, bringing art to the streets and inviting a broad audience to take part in the experience. Additionally, the incorporation of lighting and video in each installation ensures that the artwork is easily visible and adds an engaging touch.
Connecting the Community Through Art
The ArtCube plays a vital role in the Parramore Arts program, providing a platform for various local artists to share their work. Under the guidance of the first sponsored Resident Reporter and Arts and Culture Correspondent, Pat Greene, the venue has garnered attention for hosting a series of captivating exhibitions. Greene’s expertise is further enhanced through sponsorship from Interstruct, allowing her to curate and showcase impressive art pieces, with the INTERmission series featuring video artists in between the exhibits.
Mark Your Calendar: Opening Night Details
The official unveiling of “Seats of Solitude” is set to kick off on January 16th from 6 to 9 p.m. The launch promises to be a delightful evening featuring a happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. and an engaging artist talk scheduled for 7:30 p.m. These activities will be hosted within the Interstruct offices, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all art lovers. Plus, there’s free parking available, making it convenient for everyone to join in on the festivities.
A Tribute to Public Transportation
Peterson Guerrier, the artist behind this thoughtful installation, has deep ties to the theme at hand. Having grown up in Miami, he spent countless hours on public buses, making this project a tribute to the often-overlooked experiences of bus riders. The exhibition aims to highlight their voices and emotions, giving a fresh perspective on what it means to rely on public transport. Expect to see mesmerizing video elements that simulate the view from a passing bus, allowing visitors to feel the rhythms of city life through Guerrier’s lens.
The Future of Orlando’s Art Scene
As the city of Orlando embraces this fresh and exciting addition to its art landscape, it becomes increasingly clear that spaces like the ArtCube are crucial for fostering creativity within the community. This installation and the ongoing support from leaders in design and the arts embody the spirit of collaboration and creative expression. With events synchronized with Third Thursday happenings in partnership with the Downtown Arts District and CityArts, art lovers have every reason to explore what Orlando has to offer.
Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a vibrant art experience. Come join the celebration of “Seats of Solitude” and witness how art can connect us in our daily lives while appreciating the beauty that surrounds us.
