The show marked the beginning of a three-year collaboration with London’s Whitechapel Gallery.

"We were going to build in the Bahamas but we set out to find a place in south Floirda instead," Weston recalls of a change in mindset. "We found Vero Beach through my father-in-law Garfield. He discovered Vero was the first place in this part of Florida where people came seeking the sun. We just loved the undisturbed town as we saw it back then." By Linda Marx

Whitechapel Gallery is undoubtedly one of London's premier contemporary art galleries. It is often praised for its ability to engage the disparate population from the local area, including many deprived youngters.
