Design Miami 2022: Germane Barnes’ Miami installation pays tribute to the BIPOC residents of the city and is inspired by the Miami Carnival
. Revealed a few days ahead of the events, the polychromatic project has lightened up the pedestrian streets of the Design District neighbourhood – one of the highlight destinations during the design fair. The playful concept, by Chicago-born Barnes, was awarded the 2022 Miami Design District Annual Neighborhood Commission and was curated by Anna Carnick and Wava Carpenter, of Anava Projects.
Barnes’ two distinct ideas for this project – 'kinetic movement and cos-play' – are a nod to the rocking chair, a recurring subject matter in his previous work. As the name playfully hints, the capsules rock back and forth like the gentle moves of Soca music. They can be accessed from both sides allowing the option for two people to sit on opposite ends, only if they cradle in the same direction.
