What is described as an “interactive art exhibit” is coming to Boca Raton later this month for an exhibition that will last nearly six weeks – and is fun for all ages.
The exhibit is known as Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0, and is a series of three-dimensional red frames that resemble homes, each featuring an inviting swing. The public is invited to enjoy the swings, the artful setting around them, and learn about what the design represents.
The exhibit, by Esrawe + Cadena, is inspired by the mercados of Latin America – lively street markets that are as much a part of the social fabric and local camaraderie as they are for buying groceries. The installation features a series of three-dimensional red frames that illustrate the “warmth, comfort, and safety of our homes,” the artists say.
“With their basic shape recognizable by all, the tiny houses form a blank canvas for community engagement and activity, where people of all ages can socialize in a playful spirit,” the artists described their work. “The swing invites visitors to settle comfortably in the small houses and to relax by swaying quietly in a unique environment. When a casa is empty, a welcoming white glow invites you to enter. Once inside, the glow intensifies to show that someone is home.”
