Superchief Gallery Miami is bringing a collaboration of the ages as they team up with Artechouse, where art and music worlds merge with unique presentations daily. The immersive one-of-a-kind space transforms into a multi-sensory treasure trove of sights and sounds with an immersive installation by Francesco Lo Castro, expounding on the concept of base reality, the idea that there are multiple layers of reality, that progressively go deeper, until you get what reality actually is. With his largest single indoor installation to date, Lo Castro invites the audience to delve into a world of sound, animation and larger-than-life sculpture to ponder the nature and scope of the real.
Lo Castro, founder of Pop Art Studios, will be turning half of the gallery into a paneled, glowing, iridescent spaceship interior, projection mapped by the genius team at Artechouse.
“At its center lies a drive to recollect and arrest memories, marked by displacement and loss, as well as a future-forward aesthetic that dares to question the boundaries of biology and technology, the physical and the virtual, charting a holistic, common space within the increasingly fluid perimeters that are shaping contemporary culture,” says Lo Castro, who moved to South Florida in the early 90’s from Germany.
Presented in association with Secret Garden, Superchief Gallery, Juxtapoz Magazine and Artechouse.
