Seven Miami Art Fair:

Seven Miami returned for its second year at Basel. You can really feel a fresh and young energy in the new artfair. I made my way to Wynwood during their opening day / relaxed BBQ. There were extra walls this year that gave the opportunity to showcase more emerging talent, while maintaining the openness that I remembered from its inaugural year. Compared to your normal dog and pony formula, Seven breaks the ‘booth’ barrier in it’s artist’s presentation. The space is open, engaging and has the polished curatorial thought process of a large museum while sustaining a humble DIY project space kind of feel. Seven’s clearly a professional fair with a touch of grass roots, so to say. I’m excited to see what new projects they bring in 2012.

Seven is a collective project organized by the following galleries: BravinLee programs, Hales Gallery, Pierogi Gallery, Postmasters, P.P.O.W., Ronald Feldman Fine Arts and Winkleman Gallery.
