Faena Art celebrates its 10th anniversary with a new, site-specific commission from British artist Es Devlin. "Library of Us" is a 50-foot kinetic sculpture that will slowly rotate within a reflective pool, filled with 2,500 of the books that have shaped Devlin’s imagination, philosophy and life. Part performance, part sculpture and part meditation on language, the piece will transform Faena Beach into a shared space for reading, reflection and quiet connection.
Guests will take a seat at the 70-foot circular reading table, which surrounds the luminous bookshelf, where some chairs will remain still and others will rotate. Devlin’s project will continue inside the Faena Cathedral with "Reading Room," a meditative companion piece, and in the Faena Project Room, with drawings and glassworks that reveal her layered creative process. All 2,500 books from "Library of Us" will be donated to local schools and libraries after Art Week. On the sand at 3201 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140
