Miami Art Week at Faena

FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

MIAMI ART WEEK 2025

Faena Art Celebrates a Decade in Miami Beach!

Es Devlin’s luminous installations will transform the Faena District into a temporary society gathered in reading, reflection, and encounter — spanning the Faena Beach, Cathedral, and Project Room.

LIBRARY OF US

A monumental kinetic sculpture on Faena Beach.

On Monday, December 1, artist Es Devlin and legendary chef Francis Mallmann present a one-night-only kinetic dining experience inside Devlin’s 60-foot revolving sculpture, where each course is inspired by texts from Devlin’s library and translated into dishes by Mallmann.

From Tuesday, December 2 – Sunday, December 7, guests are invited to explore and experience the Library of Us sculpture as a public installation—without the culinary component—enjoying its revolving architecture, immersive scale, and participatory design.

Location: Faena Beach

On Display: December 1 – 7 | Open to the public

READING ROOM

by Es Devlin

Reading Room is a 46’ bench incorporating a bookshelf and LED screen. Conceived as a participatory work, Es Devlin invited every hotel staff member to contribute texts that have shaped their thinking. Visitors can sit, listen to Devlin’s recorded readings, explore 250 books, and watch the texts illuminate the LED screen throughout the day.

Location: The Cathedral, Faena Miami Beach Hotel Lobby

On Display: December 1 – December 7 | Open to the public

Drawings and paintings on glass, paper, and TVs in the Faena Art Project Room.

"TROPICAL STOMPING GROUNDS"

By Pepe Mar — No Vacancy

Pepe Mar transforms Casa Faena’s atrium into a vibrant textile landscape drawn from 15 years of his collage and assemblage practice. This immersive, floor-to-ceiling installation reflects themes of identity, memory, myth, and Miami Beach’s influence on the artist.

Location: Casa Faena

On Display: Now – January 2026
