Oolite Arts presents two new exhibitions now on view at the Windows @ Walgreens along Collins Avenue. Featuring alumni artists Amanda Season Keeley and Liene Bosquê, each installation transforms a storefront window into a bold, thought-provoking work in the heart of Miami Beach.
Amanda Season Keeley
Language is liquid
On view Feb. 11 – May 3, 2026
Windows @ Walgreens | 74th Street & Collins Ave
Language is liquid is a meditation on the fluid nature of words—how they remain malleable, porous, and never fully contained. Through large-scale panels depicting the Miami Beach shoreline at sunrise and sunset, Keeley explores how light and water dissolve fixed edges, allowing horizon lines to blur and reform. The shifting landscape mirrors the movement of language itself: meaning reshaped by emotion, memory, culture, and place.
Anchoring the installation is the glowing phrase “Language is liquid”—a statement that reads as both declaration and question. The illuminated text invites viewers to consider understanding as something we enter and wade through, rather than grasp and hold.
Liene Bosquê
Before Miami Design Preservation League III
On view Feb. 11 – May 3, 2026
Windows @ Walgreens | 67th Street & Collins Ave
In cities like Miami, where rapid development continually reshapes the skyline, historic architecture is often lost. Before Miami Design Preservation League III honors Miami Beach’s disappeared buildings by tracing the silhouettes of Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival, and Miami Modern structures through paper and light, inspired by South Florida’s sunset skies.
Drawing from archival research, Bosquê translates demolished buildings into luminous forms that preserve their memory. The work takes its title from the Miami Design Preservation League, founded in 1976 to protect the city’s architectural heritage. By reanimating structures that no longer stand, the installation invites reflection on urban change, preservation, and the environmental and cultural costs of continual redevelopment.
Both exhibitions are free and viewable 24/7 from the street. Stop by, take a look, and experience how these artists are using the city itself as a canvas.
