Διάχυτη είναι η ανησυχία στην Εβδομάδα Τέχνης στο Μαϊάμι καθώς  μία ιδιαίτερα δημοφιλής εγκατάσταση με θέμα την κλιματική αλλαγή, δεν είναι καθόλου φιλική προς το περιβάλλον…

Ο καλλιτέχνης Leandro Erlich, που προκάλεσε συζητήσεις για το έργο του «Order of Importance», παρουσιάζει 66 αντίγραφα αυτοκινήτων και φορτηγών κατασκευασμένων από άμμο κατά μήκος της ακτής South Beach.

Το έργο που επιμελήθηκε η καλλιτέχνης Ximena Caminos, είναι ένα σχόλιο για την κλιματική αλλαγή στο Μαϊάμι.

Όμως, πηγές ανέφεραν στην Page Six, ότι για την καλλιτεχνική εγκατάσταση χρησιμοποιήθηκε για μονωτικό υλικό αφρός που περιέχει επικίνδυνα χημικά. Η εγκατάσταση έγινε με τη χρήση του σπρέι Sika PostFix, το οποίο, σύμφωνα με το δελτίο δεδομένων ασφαλείας του Home Depot, πρέπει να φυλάσσεται «σε κατάλληλα, κλειστά δοχεία απορριμμάτων».

Εκπρόσωπος του Γραφείου Τουρισμού και Πολιτισμού του Μαϊάμι διέψευσε ότι το έργο περιλαμβάνει το προϊόν αφρού πολυουρεθάνης – αλλά αρνήθηκε να αναφέρει τα πραγματικά υλικά.

«Έχουμε μιλήσει με την ομάδα παραγωγής και αυτό το χημικό δεν χρησιμοποιήθηκε σε καμία πτυχή αυτής της εγκατάστασης» δήλωσε ο εκπρόσωπος.

repost @brettsylvia First of all, go see this exhibit by @leandroerlichofficial for yourself in person if you are in Miami because nothing compares to this @artbasel experience. At the beginning of the year, I said I wanted to do more videos. If you look at the first thing I posted on January 1st, it says exactly that. Well, it looks like I finally got around to posting some, but here are some stills taken from the day of the video that has been shared with an estimated 2 million accounts along with a quick story regarding how that video came about. I was walking the beach on Sunday actually scouting if there was anything to capture with the drone. When I came across this exhibit I went home and got the drone right away and did a midday flight. I was pretty excited with what I captured because it looked so cool from above. If you know me, then you know how particular I can be. I knew I could do better, even though I had already edited a video and sent it to some friends who gave good feedback. Going back the next day at sunrise was the move. No one was there and the sunrise was a beauty. I took new footage and used that instead. My trust in my instincts paid off because I’ve never had a response like this. It’s motivated me more and with the creative juices flowing, I look forward to what I can create next. Anyway, here’s some stills from the site. Go the extra mile y’all 🙏🏼 . . . #artbasel #artbaselmiami #artbasel2019 #artbaselmiami #wynwood #wynwoodwalls #wynwoodart #wynwoodartdistrict #wynwoodmiami #artmiami #miamiartweek #mbartsandculture #floridabeaches #visitflorida #miami #miamibeach #pureflorida #onlyindade #artofvisuals #scopemiamibeach #scopeartshow #orderofimportance #framezmatter

Αλλά όταν ρωτήθηκε ποια υλικά χρησιμοποιήθηκαν δήλωσε:

«Η διαδικασία δημιουργίας ενός έργου είναι ιδιοκτησία του καλλιτέχνη».

Οι Erlich και Caminos δεν απάντησαν ούτε στα αιτήματα του Page Six για σχολιασμό.

Σύμφωνα με το Home Depot το Sika PostFix, χρησιμοποιείται για «στήριξη μη δομικών στοιχείων».

«Μην αδειάζετε σε αποχετεύσεις, απορρίψτε αυτό το υλικό και το δοχείο του με ασφαλή τρόπο.

Αποφύγετε τη διασπορά υλικού και την απορροή και την επαφή με το έδαφος και το νερό» αναφέρεται στις οδηγίες και συνιστάται προσοχή καθώς το προϊόν «μπορεί να προκαλέσει βλάβη στα όργανα λόγω παρατεταμένης ή επανειλημμένης έκθεσης αν εισπνευστεί».

Η εγκατάσταση σταδιακά θα αποδομηθεί στη διάρκεια της έκθεσης.

Η δημοτική αρχή του Μαϊάμι διέθεσε για την εγκατάσταση το ποσό των 300.000 δολαρίων. Σύμφωνα με αναφορές, ολόκληρο το έργο κόστισε πάνω από ένα εκατομμύριο δολάρια.

It's that time of year again. Enter 'The Order of Importance', a surreal large scale installation by Argentinean artist @leandroerlichofficial, located on our front doorstep. As a reflection on the climate crisis, this site-specific project was commissioned by the City of Miami Beach and curated by @xcaminos with the collaboration of @brandiredd. A critique of the negative impact of traffic on the environment, this work is comprised of 66 life-size cars and trucks that Erlich sculpted out of sand. The forms will be left to naturally degrade for the duration of the 15-day exhibition. #ArtBasel #orderofimportance #RCMemories Photos | @jessklingelfuss
