<p>Christopher Myers built a chapel for the stories of the sea in the Meridians sector of Art Basel Miami Beach. Inside a dimly lit hexagonal structure, a gentle glow emanates from five large stained-glass paintings installed in lightboxes. His imagery draws from sources including fantastical water creatures, blues music, water deities, and spirits – references which Myers uses to make connections between the water, African diasporas, and legacies of Black dislocation. <br /> <br />Both theatrical and religious at once, Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me (2022) looks like a devotional space and a theater set. It’s a fitting combination, drawing on Myers’s practice as a playwright and visual artist. During the fair, the installation will be activated by a performance with puppets and original music. </p><p>Christopher Myers,<em> Let The Mermaids Flirt with Me</em>, 2022 is presented by <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1163/James-Cohan-Gallery">James Cohan Gallery</a> in the Meridians sector at Art Basel Miami Beach.  </p><p><br />Produced by Drone Genius <br />Directed by Antony Keane <br />Edited by Jorge Torres </p>
