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 Faena Art Project Room.
LIBRARY OF US
A monumental kinetic sculpture on Faena Beach.
From Tuesday, December 2 through Sunday, December 7, guests are invited to experience The Library of Us by Es Devlin—a 50-foot-wide rotating triangular bookshelf containing 2,500 books that have shaped the artist’s life and practice.
Illuminated and mirrored, the sculpture turns within a circular reflecting pool surrounded by a collective reading table set with Devlin’s annotated volumes, inviting guests to read, reflect, and connect as their seats revolve in unison.
A luminous, participatory installation, The Library of Us transforms Faena Beach into a living meditation on art, memory, and human connection.
Location: Faena Beach
On Display: December 2 – 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 2 – December 7 | Open to the public

"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.
