Artists Gean Moreno and Ernesto Oroza
<http://www.e-flux.com/journal/view/58> propose that Miami's salvage
yards serve as a kind of diagram for shifts in the city. Discoveries of
objects discarded in mass quantities, like analog televisions, pink
toilets, and neon ceramic tile reveal changes in the culture, values,
functions and aesthetics of a place. Moreno and Oroza will create a
flat, graphic environment in the civic space of Main Library's
auditorium exploring the "urban process in which things designed for one
particular function are used for another." A special tabloid produced
for the exhibition functions as patterned wallpaper, space demarcation,
and as a vehicle for essays and other materials that expand or question
the conceptual scope of the exhibition.
