In "Things
Look Bright All Over," Angelica Clyman explores the history of three
noteworthy Broward County locations: the Two-Million Dollar Banyan, the Sunrise
Upside-Down House, and the Hollywood Beach Hotel. Through mixed media
paintings, sculptures, prints, and collected ephemera, portions of the life
cycles of these iconic places are resurrected for viewers to reflect upon the
rapidly shifting South Florida culture and landscape. The exhibition's title
draws inspiration from vintage Florida tourism ads and the depicted sites
showcase the intricate relationship South Florida maintains with its reputation
as a vacation paradise. This exhibition is made possible with support from the
Broward County Cultural Division.
