Miami Beach Artist to Display Unique Video Sculpture

November 24, 2008 by Group

gagnonMiami Beach visual artist Steven Gagnon will be driving his BORDER CRUISER, a mobile video installation in a former police car, during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach. The video sculpture is the fourth project in an ever expanding body of work and marks the first that maintains the full functionality of the automobile while the videos are playing.  The artwork’s intent is to heighten public awareness of the dangers and hardships that immigrants face who enter the country illegally to find work.

The mobile sculpture was shown earlier this year in Houston for Fotofest, the city’s international photo and video biennial. It was also shown at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

During ArtBasel Miami Beach the BORDER CRUISER will patrol the streets all around Miami Beach and Miami´s Wynwood District from sunset to midnight.

Gagnon has created video sculptures in Berlin, Miami and New York City, and maintaines a studio on Espanola Way in South Beach.
