The City of Miami Beach is pleased to announce Sundial Spectrum, a site-specific art installation and mural by Miami-born artist Jen Stark, opening on Tuesday, December 3 at 1 p.m. between Washington and Collins avenues. Sundial Spectrum is the seventh iteration of Elevate Española, the city’s public art program featuring commissioned works installed over Española Way.
Sundial Spectrum consists of 13 sculptural hanging panels showcasing Stark’s signature bold colors on vinyl laminated polycarbonate along with large-scale murals framing the walkway. Inspired by geometry and natural forms, the hypnotic patterns will shift throughout the day. As light filters through, viewers will find themselves surrounded by rainbow shadows along Española Way.
“This immersive artwork is inspired by the passage of time and the beauty of natural forms. I’m excited to see these colored shadows projected into the surrounding environment, transforming Española Way into a vibrant canvas. As a Miami native, I am thrilled to return to the place where my artistic journey began and to share this captivating experience with the community.” said Jen Stark.
For Sundial Spectrum, Stark chose an arrangement of colors that directly reflect and speak to the natural world: the alluring tones utilized by flowers to attract pollinators, the prisms of light found in crystals, and the luminescent qualities of phosphorescent sea creatures. Employing color theory in her practice, Stark harnesses the stimulating effects bright colors have on human emotions and moods — further heightening and enriching the immersive experience of Sundial Spectrum.
A major homecoming moment for the Miami-born and Los Angeles-based artist, Elevate Española marks Jen Stark’s first official collaboration with the City of Miami Beach. Stark has exhibited across the world, bringing her iconic, vividly-colored abstractions to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Thailand, Canada, and beyond. Her work is in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the West Collection, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, NSU Art Museum and MOCA Miami, and she has collaborated with major brands, such as Shiseido and Skechers.
Past installations of Elevate Española have included works by art collaboration FriendsWithYou, Edouard Duval-Carrié, Jillian Mayer, and assume vivid astro focus.
