Jade Alley Films: Jennifer Levonian and Eva Wylie: Outage, 2019

Jade Alley Films: Jennifer Levonian and Eva Wylie: Outage, 2019

Part of the Miami Design District's collaborative year-long art video feature

Location:

Miami Design District's Garden Building Lobby in Jade Alley

From April 1 to June 30, the Miami Design District will feature Outage by Jennifer Levonian and Eva Wylie in its Jade Alley Films Series, a collaborative year-long art video feature of four artist video selections by the District's key institutions, including Locust Projects, de la Cruz Collection and ICA Miami.

Originally commissioned and premiered by Locust Projects in 2019, Outage is a video that utilizes Levonian's signature cut paper animation technique, which incorporates deftly rendered watercolors into short films that wryly depict prescient social narratives and Eva Wylie's unique printmaking techniques. The single-channel animation was made from over 3,000 frames and more than 275 screens were used to create pieces for the animation.

Viewable 24/7 at the Garden Building Lobby in Jade Alley.
