On the occasion of Art Basel Miami Beach, Perrotin will present an exhibition at The M Building located in the Wynwood Art District in Miami. The presentation highlights the making of JR's newest mural The Chronicles of Miami—which will be unveiled in December through two public outdoor installations in the city—alongside a selection of work by Daniel Arsham, Charles Hascoët, Leslie Hewitt, and Paola Pivi.
Perrotin is pleased to present a series of mixed media works and light boxes by JR, made in relation to the debut of _The Chronicles of Miami, _one of the artist's most intricate murals to date. Inspired by Diego Rivera, JR began Chronicles in 2016 as a series of participatory murals that imagine how an entire place can be represented through art, with past murals presented at SFMOMA, Brooklyn Museum, and The Gun Chronicles: A Story of America on the cover of TIME Magazine.
Incorporating ten different neighborhoods and 1,048 participants, The Chronicles of Miami is a highly realistic, photographic mural that offers a window into present life in Miami.
Each wall of The M Building will showcase a different artist on the gallery's roster. The works on view include Leslie Hewitt's Daylight/Daylong diptych photo-sculptures, new paintings by Daniel Arsham and Charles Hascoët, as well as a new sculpture by Arsham which consists of a reconstructed MV Superveloce motorcycle. Finally, Paola Pivi will stage 25 of her signature baby bears throughout the space, inviting visitors to wander through the whimsical environment of fluorescent feathered bears.
