Philip Lique: YOU ARE HERE
Through Dec 12, 2024
Explore Philip Lique’s YOU ARE HERE at the Royal Palm South Beach, part of the City of Miami Beach’s No Vacancy exhibition running from November 14 to December 12. This interactive installation transforms the hotel lobby into a large-scale map, inviting visitors to recalibrate their spatial awareness and contemplate their surroundings. By incorporating design, sculpture and cultural programming, Lique reimagines the often-overlooked architectural element of the floor, encouraging guests to consider their orientation within the building, the city and beyond.
A multidisciplinary artist based in Miami, Lique blends craft and generative art with public engagement through sculpture, installation and printmaking. His extensive career includes academic roles, residencies and collaborative projects with galleries and institutions. Currently a resident artist at the Bakehouse Artist Complex and represented by Emerson Dorsch Gallery, Lique continues to create works that invite dialogue and reflection.
As one of 12 site-specific installations in No Vacancy, YOU ARE HERE highlights the cultural vibrancy of Miami Beach hotels. Funded by the City of Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, and the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, this annual program showcases contemporary art in unique settings, enhancing the city’s reputation as a hub for cultural exploration.
