MARKET: Lars Jan’s “Slow-Moving Luminaries” at ABMB 2017
Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet Art Commission introduces “Slow-Moving Luminaries”, a work by artist Lars Jan.
For the third Audemars Piguet Art Commission, Los Angeles-based artist Lars Jan has created an immersive, mechanized installation in a two-level structure on the Miami Beach oceanfront. Deeply experiential, the work features floating model buildings, a series of large-format light boxes and a film — evoking the long passage of time, ephemerality, and the blurring between built and wild landscapes.
In a city gripping the very edge of the continent, “Slow-Moving Luminaries” stages a hypnotic, unsettling encounter between natural and manmade elements, compelling visitors to consider a cultural moment between civilization and chaos.
