As
the fence on 85 NE 40th Street, in the Miami Design District, was
moved out on Tuesday morning, what before was an empty lot with uneven grass
and patches of concrete, this time emerged as temporary home for a very
peculiar family: The Big Foot Family series by Israeli-French artist
Idan Zareski. The public installation was kicked off with a private event on
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013, co-hosted by Idan Zareski and gallery
owner Bernard Markowicz.
Zaresky’s
original “Big Foot” was joined by a quite big “Lady Foot” and
super-sized “Baby Foot”, as the centers of the installation; on one of
the walls a colorful image of a granny escorted by four Elvis Presley’s images
popped up a few days ago, created by celebrity street artist Bambi who flew
from London, to collaborate with the message of peace and tolerance that The
Big Foot Family series spreads around the world, by naming the mural “Make
Love Not War”.
Tents,
large screens, projectors and strategically positioned bright lights were part
of the components that transformed the site into The Art Garden, which
was conceptualized and designed by high-end interior designer David Landau.
Exquisite
hors d’oeuvres, champagne, scotch, wines and great music truly made up a
delightful evening for guests that included art collectors, socialites, clients
and friends of the event hosts, including Adriana de Moura, one of Bravo’s
Miami Real Housewives of Miami, Maurice Renoma, internationally renowned French
designer and photographer, and Connie McSilver, philanthropist and artist, to
name a few.
