EXILE Books & Fringe Projects present The Site of Sound Pool Screening by Cara Despain
The site of sound is a narrative sound piece
premiering with Fringe Projects--a series of commissioned temporary
public artworks that explore downtown Miami's less conventional spaces.
The piece will use the subterranean cavities of storm drains to unfold a
score of sorts for the heralded growth of downtown Miami that is at
odds with its geography. A city surrounded by ocean and waterways that
sits nearly at sea level, its buildings are vulnerable in the short term
to storm surges and temporary flooding, and in the not-too-long term to
sea level rise and permanent loss of dry land. At The Standard preview,
this soundtrack will be heard underwater in a luxury pool on the bay,
echoing the idea of inundation.
