Adler Guerrier March 24, 2010

Haitian-born, Miami-based contemporary artist Adler Guerrier will create a new site-specific exhibition in the Centers main gallery that will explore the effects of geography, politics, and history on Hollywood, Florida, and nearby environs. Guerriers multi-dimensional exhibition will employ a variety of media, including photography, drawings, sculpture, and video, to express a psycho-geographic narrative of a distinctive cityscape that includes an urban center, quiet neighborhoods, and a lively beachfront. Guerrier finds inspiration in the simple act of walking city streets, which he describes as a political and poetic act.A self-described urban wanderer, he writes in his exhibition proposal, My thoughts on the city of Hollywood, Florida, are mainly about movement, driving around the citys circles, walking on U.S. 1 and downtown, and also of being at easeThrough his own simple interactions in our diverse city, Guerrier will create a multi-media exhibition that will provide a timely and perhaps even timeless document of a specific moment in our local history. He will also include collaborative elements to this exhibition by inviting a small number of other artists whose contributions will be integrated into the installation as a whole. The exhibition will also feature a gallery discussion with the artist, giving the public the opportunity to learn more about Guerriers working process.
