Design Miami 2011: FriendsWithYou
Posted in: Uncategorized
Art collective FriendsWithYou (FWY) presented “Inner Space, the Secrets of the Unknown!” in their poker dot covered gallery/store located in the Miami Design District. Suspended in the buildings atrium is The Phantom, a huge inflatable sculpture spanning 15 feet in diameter greeting visitors with it’s Pingu-like stare.
The latest work includes a number of sculptures and mirror-finished objects exploring the theme of self-reflection, both literally and metaphorically. It’s hard not to smile when you enter their artfully crafted adult playground which sucks you in, and happily distracts you from the pressures of the outside world for a moment. A secret door leads to a second gallery with large prints and a small retail outlet with goods for those who can’t afford the collectors prices.
