Adler Guerrier

For many, driving in Miami is synonym of long hours behind the steering wheel plus a dossis of chaotic behavior, but for one artistic mind, this everyday activity was an opportunity to showcase some underestimated spots of the Magic City.

Adler Guerrier, native of Haiti and Miami resident since his teenage years, created a vibrant and multi-material showpiece called Out To Lunch. The installation is the product the journey of its creator between two points; Coral Gables, where he lives and the city of Hollywood where is now exhibiting.

Guerrier drove by many places and created what he called a “Down to the block kind of work,” a collection of video projections, photos, and sculptures, that portraits common images framed on a passenger’s point of view.

The 34 year-old artist has also explored the city in different ways, in 2008 Guerrier took Liberty City as

a place of inspiration and created BLCK-We wear the Mask, an installation of what was happening in 1968. During those years, the youth in Liberty City was going trough a period of rebellion, the women were fighting for their rights and politics were a hot topic in district 5. The idea of the project was to link a vibrant community of Miami suburbia with what was happening in the country.

Right now, the local artist is exhibiting his pieces in different galleries around the world. Represented by David Castillo gallery in Miami, Adler Guerrier has given Miami a protagonist role and Liberty City a spotlight in the world of art.
