FINE ART AND INTERIORS

The Rider Residencies, Art Advisory 

Client: Rilea Group 

Role: Curation and Licensee

Metazoan was commissioned to curate and license a distinctive collection of photography for The Rider Residences Miami.

The Rider is a bold, 12-story condominium rooted in the spirit of rock-and-roll and Wynwood’s avant-garde energy.

Tasked with creating a visual language that matched the property’s rebellious DNA, Metazoan selected images that honour the icons of music and motor culture, from the gritty soul of live performances to the allure of two-wheeled freedom. Anchored by rare works from Lynn Goldsmith and Scarlet Page, two of music’s most legendary photographers, the collection brings to life the ethos of The Rider: unapologetically free, creatively, fearless, and authentically cool.

The featured image of Keith Richards by Scarlet Page was not chosen by chance, it was selected for its raw energy, iconic presence, and cultural weight. His portrait commands attention, anchoring the space with an unmistakable edge that mirrors the sleek lines of the motorcycles and the moody tone of the surrounding design

Lynn Goldsmith being the official ambassador, handpicked eight of her most iconic photographs to adorn the building’s exterior.

Stories - Brought to Life, National Portrait Gallery Unframed

Client: Frameless 

Role: Image Research & Rights Management

Metazoan was commissioned by Frameless to support the creation of a photographic narrative for Stories - Brought to Life, an immersive experience inspired by the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection. Part of the experience explored the life and artistry of David Bowie, from his early years as David Jones through to Blackstar, brought to life through 47 carefully selected photographs.

The lead image, Duffy’s iconic Aladdin Sane portrait, anchored the sequence, supported by a collection sourced from both our own archives and external contributors. Metazoan also managed rights clearances with the Bowie Estate, ensuring images were licensed for use across the experience.
