Miami Pool House

Numbering around 65 works by 30 artists, it features museum-level names such as Woody de Othello, N. Dash, Édouard Duval-Carrié, Angel Otero and Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons through to emerging talent like Alejandro Piñeiro-Bello, Jossiell Gomez and Priscilla Aleman. The Pool House’s Loft features three key site-specific installations. Carolina Cueva took on the challenge of creating one of the largest murals in a North American Soho House, drawing elements from her Quechua Indigeneity and cross-cultural heritage across Peru and Miami. In the stairwell, Rose Marie Cromwell installed the biggest vinyl artwork to date (both for Soho House and the artist), paired with a framed photograph echoing the tropical landscape.

Upstairs in the Mezzanine, Cornelius Tulloch installed a customized version of his work ‘Tropical Inferno’, an intimate presentation echoing his 2021 solo exhibition at Faena Art. A true reflection of the climate in which the artists are working, several of Miami Pool House’s cohort are grappling with the theme of environmental changes affecting their lives. A work such as Lauren Shapiro’s ‘Three Rivers’ – a grid of porcelain tiles molded to show local corals and flora installed on the patio of the Pool House – serves as poetic intermediary to address these themes in the broader Miami community. Several of the artists in this collection are recipients of distinguished awards, including the notable Young Arts Jorge M. Pérez Award, presented in 2014 to Malaika Temba and in 2023 to Cornelius Tulloch.

This collection was co-curated by Kate Bryan, Soho House’s Chief Art Director, and Art Collection Manager, Anakena Paddon.
