South Beach might be synonymous with art deco and pastel grandeur, but from December 3 to 9, 2012, it will receive a major dose of goth courtesy of Desi Santiago. Perrier and BOFFO have partnered with Santiago to create his biggest work of art to date, a unique, all-black black building installation at Lords South Beach during Miami Art Week. Santiago, who rose from ’90s New York club kid status to globally acclaimed artist, will transform the entire hotel for The Black Lords.

Based upon his dog, Gypsy, The Black Lords will metamorphosize the hotel into a gargantuan dog featuring menacing paws and a whipping tail. The installation is also interactive: guests will be able to have their fortune told by Gypsy through her laser eyes, smoke, and sounds of her running, panting and barking.

Perrier Presents: The Black Lords at Lords South Beach will be open daily from 11 am to 2 am at Lords South Beach located at 1120 Collins Avenue (at 11th Street) in Miami Beach, Florida.

Two private parties will celebrate the opening of the installation. On Tuesday evening there will be a VIP Penthouse party and Thursday evening the third annual Midnight in Miami party
