A Road Map to Art Basel Week Miami 2009

Here’s a condensed road map of the main fairs we’ll be hitting up as well as a breakdown of all the special events worth checking out while in Miami below. This is by no means a full listing of all the fairs or special events, but these are the main events happening that feature artists and galleries from our movement. There will be much to discover out of sheer happenstance once in Miami. Look for the AM crew at every turn, as we’ll be out in force capturing all the goodness that is Art Basel Week and reporting it back here for all to enjoy.
