The new installation Mapping Trajectories by Rosemarie Chiarlone explores the journey of an iconic structure from its original site to a new home. Beginning its life at the 27th Avenue crossing of the Miami River, the Wolfsonian–FIU Bridge Tender House is now a Miami Beach landmark, resting on the Washington Avenue sidewalk outside the museum. Blending poetry, painting, and typography, Chiarlone transforms the Bridge Tender House into a streetside canvas, filling the windows with large, abstracted, and vibrantly colored aerial maps. The project also includes a unique artist’s book, Tender, displayed in our lobby, and a newsprint tabloid with a poem that visitors can take home.
Rosemarie Chiarlone is an artist who explores the physical and psychological boundaries of human connection. Rosemarie Chiarlone’s artist books, works on paper, and installations often focus on the changing landscape of Miami. Chiarlone has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows nationally and internationally. Her works are included in notable public and private collections, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts; The Center for Book Arts; Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University; Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry; and the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, among others.
