“We are all on this planet to create and we each have our own self-expression of who we are. It’s the job of the artist to bring out what is inside, what they are feeling, what they are conceptualizing, and bring it out in their work and I do that in my fine art photographs and video installation art. My work keeps moving and growing and it keeps changing but there are some things which are constant about it. My work is about connection. Connection to the self, each other, to all lifeforms on this planet and also a connection to the entire universe,” explains Maeder.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami invites you to experience Welcome to Paradise! Victory Garden – Feb 8

The Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami invites you to experience Welcome to Paradise, a dynamic new commissioning program featuring temporary public art projects by local South Florida artists. This program invites artists to create ambitious and experimental art installations that activate MOCA’s Paradise Courtyard. The first season centers on artists working at the intersection of ecology and technology.

On view February 8 through June 25, 2023, visitors will be able to step into the Paradise Courtyard and discover Victory Garden, an interactive sculptural community garden created by Miami-based artist Emmett Moore. Drawing inspiration from victory gardens of the past, which were planted during wartime to supplement rations and boost morale, Moore’s Victory Garden connects the local community with contemporary art and encourages visitors to reflect on our relationship with the built environment.

Utilizing sustainable materials such as repurposed steel drums to form sculptural planters, Victory Garden will feature plants native to South Florida and the Caribbean such as Cuban oregano, collard greens, starfruit, bee balm and Everglades cherry tomatoes that will be harvested and shared. It will also include benches and solar-powered USB outlets for visitors to use.

 

About the Artist

Emmett Moore is a Miami-based artist and designer known for a technically rigorous interdisciplinary approach that challenges notions of functionality and fluctuates seamlessly between design and art. Moore’s work employs processes taken primarily from architecture and industrial design to examine the relationship between ecology and the built environment. Moore utilizes found forms of everyday objects to speak to the universality and timelessness of the utilitarian and quotidian, working with secondhand goods and modular systems to break down inherent hierarchies within the physical world, elevate the mundane, and demystify systems of value.

His work has been shown institutionally at the RISD Museum, the Frost Art Museum, the Miami Art Museum, the Bass Museum of Art, and is in the permanent collection of the Perez Art Museum Miami. He was the first Miami-based designer to exhibit a solo exhibition at Design Miami/. He is representedby Nina Johnson gallery in Miami, Fl. 

Moore’s work has been covered by Art in America, The Guardian, The Miami Herald, Cultured Magazine, Architectural Digest, Artsy and The Art Newspaper among others. Moore was named Miami New Times’ Best Visual Artist in 2015 and 2021.

 

Sponsors

Welcome to Paradise is made possible with major support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Additional support was provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
