La Cometa Miami presents Liene Bosquê
Saturday, September 19th from 6 – 8pm experience the Opening Reception of Vestigios featuring Liene Bosquê at La Cometa, Miami, curated by Andrés Cordoba. The exhibition is on view September 6 – November 17, 2026. “I am interested in the relationship between place and people—the influence they have on one another, the conflict that exists between the two, and the traces that are left once they have come into contact. In turn, my multidisciplinary practice deals with the exploration of sensorial experiences within natural, urban, architectural, and personal spaces. This includes sculptures, site-responsive installations, and socially engaged projects that find ways to fragment habitual positive and negative spaces.” —Liene Bosquê.
