tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE is proud to present Uros by Grimanesa Amorós.

Off the coast of Puno, Peru are the Uros Islands. They are floating islets made of totora reeds grown in Lake Titicaca. The pre-Incan Uros, who live on these forty-two self-fashioned floating islands, build everything out of this material – from houses to boats to watch towers. Amorós created Uros to reflect the natural elegance of sea foam and totora reeds.

tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE is a Frank Gehry designed US flagship store featuring all Issey Miyake collections.

LOCATION tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE, 119 Hudson Street at N. Moore, New York City

Paul and Lulu Hilliard Museum
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Lafayette, Louisiana

The Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in Lafayette, Louisiana is Acadiana’s architectural landmark and the largest art museum between Houston and New Orleans. The Museum features a variety of changing exhibitions and a continuing schedule of lectures and programs.

OPENING Reception August 19th, 2011
LOCATION Paul and Lulu Hilliard Museum at University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Uros House, a lighting sculpture by artist Grimanesa Amorós, will be on view at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum from August 6th through the end of the year. Recently shown in Times Square, the sculpture was presented as part of the 2011 Armory Show.

Uros House, made of polyethylene, steel, metal and computer controlled LEDS, was inspired by structures built by the Uros Indians in Peru. The pre-Incan Uros, who live on forty-two self-fashioned floating islands in Lake Titicaca, build everything out of totora reeds, a sub-species of the giant bulrush sedge. According to Amorós, who was born and raised in Peru, the Uros House sculpture “embodies the beauty of sea foam, while maintaining the traditional technique and shape of the Uros islands houses. The structure will seemingly arise from the ground as if it were one with the earth.”
