Morris Lapidus

Artist: Sarah Morris Title: Morris Lapidus, 2018 Medium: Custom fabricated porcelain tiles Location: Miami Beach Convention Center Northeast Corner Exterior Walls Morris Lapidus by Sarah Morris is an expansive, site-specific artwork commissioned by the City of Miami Beach. Executed in custom fabricated porcelain tile and covering over 6,000 square feet of exterior wall space, Morris Lapidus is one of the artist’s largest permanent installations to date. Morris’ dynamic visual language invites the viewer to reflect upon the concepts of motion, scale, light and social space through the use of vectors, points, color and geometric forms. Much like Morris’ paintings and films, site-specific installations such as Morris Lapidus seek to decode and initiate new dialogues with the structures and concepts that define the built environment. Morris’ practice is rooted in the formulation of never-ending, all-encompassing networks of interlinked grids, forms, and colors that constantly expand beyond the immediate field of vision.
