Trolley Barn Gallery

Brandin Barón, Concept Drawing for the Relocation of Miami Beach, Collage with mixed media, 2024 now on view for the “Earth’s Reflection” exhibition at the Troll Barn Gallery.

Read more about this piece from youth curator Tahleeya below.

“Barón collages vacation images together to depict a man-made island floating, designed to recreate the forgotten paradise. This work is a comical illustration of the way humans will laugh in the face of tragedy and go on in their relaxed, distracted bliss. Voluntary obliviousness is the face of a horrible but predictable situation as the Miami Beach is no longer able to naturally hold itself up.”

Destiny Arianna, “What’s in the Water”, Mixed Media Installation, 2024. Currently on view for “Earth’s Reflection” at the Trolley Barn Gallery through August 9.

Interpretative Label by Youth Curator, Chanel Reed:

Arianna explores her connection to the island of Noepe (Martha’s Vineyard), where her Indigenous ancestors lived for years - now home to America’s first large-scale offshore wind farm. “What’s In The Water?” engulfs viewers in the warm feeling of home and the detachment that can be experienced after significant changes occur. A rocking chair with
Arianna’s late great-grandmother’s crochet blanket drapes beside a wooden table where a photograph of Noepe - untouched and pure - sits. The window depicts the first hundred “eco-friendly” wind turbines outlined in white in the distance, ready to take over the entire landscape. Every aspect of the room has an ongoing conversation on the waters before and after the wind project. This work tells the story of a forgotten history as Arianna holds space for memory, nostalgia, and legacy.

Gallery Hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 2-5 pm and Saturdays from 12-4 pm.
