Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
A close reading of the average Miamian’s living room would suggest that the most important glass in the room isn’t a window — it’s the TV screen. Finches in the bougainvilleas? No, that’s just John Stewart’s 5-o’clock shadow. From locales of deep conversation to passive stations for image dumping, the modern American living room gets explored this Saturday at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Workshop series, starring L.A. artist Fritz Haeg and the Miami Salon Project.
The seminar will be held in the transported living room of Coral Gables residents and University of Miami professors Keith Waddington and Mindy Nelson, who were selected in an open casting call to have their living room set up at MoCA. In return, Haeg redesigned the couple’s home living room into a salon space, and the pair has gamely responded by hosting a series of private salons on a wide range of topics.
Haeg’s discussion of the project is free with your five-dollar museum admission. Bring your own Big Mouth Billy Bass to hang on the wall.
