Basel Week Miami ’10 – Scope Art Fair

Posted by sleepboy, December 1, 2010

As we bring our previews and teasers for Art Basel Week here at AM to an end, we are sure you are just as anxious as we are to get into the fairs and onto the streets to see what we have all been waiting for. We start by bringing you an pictorial overview of the SCOPE Art Fair (with more in-depth looks later).

Preview: Basel Week Miami ’10 – Jen Stark @ Carol Jazzar Gallery

Posted by lowpro, December 1, 2010

Playful mixed-media artist Jen Stark will be showcasing a new selection of her meticulously constructed sculptural works during Art Basel Week in Miami. Exhibiting with Carol Jazzar Gallery at SCOPE, her work is comprised of hand-cut pieces of acid-free color paper tirelessly layered upon one another until the aggregated abstractions, often three dimensional, are stunningly realized. Just thinking about the amount of time and effort put into cutting and connecting every last piece of paper with such precision makes my head hurt. However, the resulting […]

Teaser: Basel Week Miami ’10 – TrustoLand & More

Posted by lowpro, December 1, 2010

During last year’s Art Basel Week, the world was first introduced to the newly formed TrustoCorp with their unique take on urban art, in which they beautified a host of South Beach sign posts (covered).

Posted by sleepboy, December 1, 2010

We already brought you a look at the Wynwood Walls project from Shepard Fairey, but now comes more images (North Miami St. & 28th) as he and his posse continue their assault on Miami. Expect more walls as Mr. Obey has plenty of events to keep him in town through the rest of the week including a brunch to honor him for being guest editor of PAPER’s art issue, DJing the Trespass release and signing / Miami New Times Party / Fountain Party, and hosting […]
