Agua dulce

|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until Sunday, Dec 5, 2021
Slow down and smell the flowers at Agua dulce, outside in Collins Park in front of The Bass.
Extending from Collins Avenue along the central promenade of the park leading up to the museum entrance, Agua dulce by Abraham Cruzvillegas, a large-scale sculptural installation, encompasses nearly 14,000 square feet. Commissioned by the museum, the project will bring the artist’s philosophy of autoconstrucción or “self-construction,” a practice of resilience and generosity, to The Bass’ Collins Park. Through collaborative research with local experts on native flora, Cruzvillegas selected around 23 different species to create the installation of more than 1,000 plants. Many of the included species, like the Salix Caroliniana (Coastal Plain Willow), have medicinal properties and are regularly used by the Seminoles, introducing notions of care and restoration to the installation.
