China Chow with Adrien Brody at Nada fair
Have I seen enough art in the last four days of Art Basel Miami? Restless during the day, by night we were trying to figure out which parties to attend. Although I was trying to stick to my mission, which was to cover the fairs, events, and to socialize, I also took out some time to walk around the streets of Wynwood and the Design District.

As the day wore on we were happy to see many of our gallerists and artists. Continue Reading More »

Art Basel Miami Beach, the international art show, hosts a nightly program at the Oceanfront, organized by Creative Time. Sited in an environment designed by Phu Hoang Office and Rachely Rotem Studio the pavilion uses two types of rope—reflective and phosphorescent—to create a diverse and interactive environment of open-air structures that sway and glow in the night.
