Pritzker Prize-winning, Iraqi and British architect and artist Zaha Hadid’s site-specific installation Elastika was designed to both complement and contradict the architecture of The Moore, a landmark of the Design District since 1922. The piece was commissioned by Dacra president Craig Robins in 2005 for the inaugural Design Miami. Exploring ideas of connectivity and fluidity, the installation sprawls the length of the four-level central atrium and serves as a visual anchor of the restaurant for which it was named.
Rooted in The Moore’s legacy as a landmark for original works, installations and fine art exhibitions, The Moore One Hundred continues this tradition by celebrating both visual and culinary artistry. Curated in partnership with internationally renowned art advisor, patron and collector Monica Kalpakian, this rotating collection showcases works on loan from some of Miami’s most esteemed collectors.
Current works on view in Elastika include pieces from the collection of the late Rosa de la Cruz, honoring her lasting impact on the art world. As The Moore One Hundred evolves, it will serve as a dynamic platform for creativity, fostering deeper connections between artists, collectors and the community.
