CADET CHAPEL | PROVISIONAL OBSTRUCTION

Bas Fisher Invitational, Miami Art Week during Art Basel

Select Cadet Chapel footage, both projected two-dimensionally and viewed in a headset immersively in 360 degrees, activated the installation Provisional Obstruction by Ayesha Singh and Misael Soto. Singh and Soto’s scaffolding and banner-sized imagery, typically secondary and subservient to what are seen as more permanent objects and structures such as buildings, met Henthorn’s examination of when architecture presents us with a reflection - projecting the past in the present, and weaving the present and future. Electronic musician Kate Simko, played a live DJ set reflecting the visual patterns and rhythms sonically. 

Provisional Obstruction employs scaffolding and banner-sized imagery, both temporary and pragmatic objects and structures that are typically secondary and subservient to what are traditionally seen as more permanent objects and structures such as buildings. The public installation deviates passersby viewpoints and diverts foot traffic along the sidewalk, becoming the catalyst for a conversation on shared ideas of stability birthed from objects that connote impermanence.
