CORAL GABLES, FL âThe City of Coral Gables is turning on the lights.
Illuminate Coral Gables (ICG), a new public art initiative focusing on the intentional use of light and technology to transform public art by day into magical and mysterious work at night, will be on view Feb. 12 â Mar. 14, 2021. Curated by Lance Fung with Catherine Cathers, Jennifer Easton and Rosie Gordon-Wallace, ICG, has been created for specific outdoor locations throughout Coral Gables.

Pedestrians through the downtown area will spot the work of Cuban-born, Miami-based artist Carlos Estévez, who is developing video content on people’s movements, interactions, and sense of community. His first technology-based artwork, the video-mapped projection will be cast over the entire surface of the historic Coral Gables City Hall building.
Another technologically and artistically intricate work: Kiki Smith’s
Blue Night, commissioned by the city specifically for Illuminate Coral Gables. The 40-by-190-foot installation will create a wonderland of constellations in Giralda Plaza.
Other works that use video mapping and projections will be found in Gables International Plaza (AKA the Davidson Building) on Le Jeune Road; Actors’ Playhouse on Miracle Mile; and Coral Gables Museum’s façade on Aragon Avenue.
