“R-Evolution” is the third and final sculpture in Cochrane’s “The Bliss Project” series, intended to challenge bystanders to see past the sexual charge surrounding the female body. The sculpture is made of steel rod and tubing covered by stainless-steel mesh.

“Lincoln Road has been the epicenter of art and culture on Miami Beach since the 1960s and has strengthened since Art Basel began more than 20 years ago,” said Anabel Llopis, executive director of the Lincoln Road BID. “Every year, we curate game-changing exhibits, and we're excited to bring ‘R-Evolution’ to residents and visitors.”

Lincoln Road has permanent artworks and pop-up installations at every turn. Works include Dan Graham’s “Steel-and-Glass Concave”; a mural in H&M by Cuban-American artist ABSTRK; and a captivating work by artist Bradley Theodore on the exterior of Chotto Matte. Previous exhibitions include 2020’s “Botero on Lincoln Road” by Colombian artist Fernando Botero and 2022’s open-air activation featuring geometric, life-size animal statues from French artist Richard Orlinski.
