Brickell Stage
Brickell Metro Rail Station, Miami, Florida, USAThe Brickell Stage is a collaborative installation erected during Art Basel.
The project is composed of 1,001 painted rods that purposely decrease in precise mathematical increments from the edges to the center of the square platform to form an empty triangular stage space for performances. This design creates a forced perspective that focuses the attention of the spectators on the performers and heightens the visual experience for all.
The open-air structure is composed of an elevated stage and flexible seating to host a variety of free interactive performances including live music, poetry readings, comedy, and more. The Brickell Stage serves area pedestrians, transit riders, cyclists, city dwellers, tourists, art aficionados, and any passerby drawn into the varied programming.
