The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $10,000 by August 9.
In an early video, artist Mariko Mori stands in an airport. She wears a platinum Barbarella-style wig and a silver bodysuit with futuristic polythene pillow wings. Her mission: Save the Earth. Mori, as a techno-shamanic being, cradles a crystal sphere before touching it to her lips and lowering the ball to her pelvis. Part cyborg and part bodhisattva, her kaleidoscopic-eyed vixen is out to awaken spiritual consciousness by seducing you with her vision of cosmic bliss.
The tranced-out Mori is just one of the openings at Second Saturdays: Art Walk in Wynwood and the Design District at 7 p.m. this Saturday. World Class Boxing (170 NW 23rd St., Miami) will also show the haunting photographs of Anna Gaskell, who uses children’s fables, ghost stories, and films as inspiration in a psychologically freighted tableau. Her work evokes images of Alice’s tumble down the rabbit hole.
Mondays-Fridays. Starts: March 15. Continues through May 28, 2010
