An Interactive Floral Art Installation, Now Open at Shops at Merrick Park
Five Larger-Than-Life Flower Sculptures Bring Free, Family-Friendly Public Art to the Heart of Coral Gables
CORAL GABLES, FL. May flowers have arrived in Coral Gables, and not the kind you can buy by the stem. Bouquet, a free, national touring interactive art installation by acclaimed Québec scenographer Olivier Landreville, is now open at Shops at Merrick Park, the open-air shopping, dining, and lifestyle destination at the heart of Coral Gables.
Five larger-than-life floral sculptures, each in its own palette of color and pattern, anchor the experience. Visitors are invited to sit on the star-shaped base beneath each flower and turn a central handwheel, rotating the translucent petals overhead while colored light and shadow scatter across the ground below. Designed for visitors of all ages, the installation pairs hands-on interaction with built-in shade, a welcome combination during a Miami May.
A short interactive quiz invites visitors to discover which of the five "bouquets" reflects their personal style, extending the experience into shareable social content. Bouquet is co-designed by GGP and makes its national debut at Shops at Merrick Park as the first stop of a five-city U.S. tour.
Bouquet is free and open to the public during regular center hours. For more information, visit shopsatmerrickpark.com.
Bouquet was created by Olivier Landreville, produced by Init, and powered by Creos.
