Limits to Growth

Limits to Growth
Experimental exhibition and performance at NADA Miami
3-7 December 2024, between 1-6pm
Ice Palace Studios, 1400 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33136

During Miami Art Week, visitors at NADA Miami may encounter a figure at the Ice Palace Studios immersed in reading The Limits to Growth, a report written in 1972 by environmental scientists Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and William W. Behrens III. The report predicted and discussed the now implemented imbalance between ideals and dreams of exponential economic growth and our planet’s factual resources. In addition to their deviant art fair activities, the person is wearing an artwork and carrying one on them.

Limits to Growth is a nomadic exhibition and a performance moving around NADA Miami site, addressing various social and economic power structures and art world dynamics in relation to a person’s inner dialogue and the realm of feelings and emotions. The project brings together a performative work by Nestori Syrjälä alongside new commissioned works by Jaakko Pallasvuo and Bogna Luiza Wisniewska.

The project is curated by Elina Suoyrjö, Director of Programs at the FCINY. The performance is carried out by artists Heather Lyon and misael soto. The visual identity is designed by Marina Veziko.
