Posted by juggernut3, December 13, 2015

During the start of Basel Week Miami, we gave you an early first look during the VIP session of the Art Basel Miami Beach fair.

Basel Week Miami ’15: Art Basel Miami Beach // Positions Sector

Posted by Khoi, December 11, 2015

One of the biggest criticisms of art fairs leveled by art lovers is that it is not the proper venue for properly conceived and realized artist exhibitions. Fair booths typically contain a collection of discrete works that are made to be sold and consumed. Art Basel Miami Beach’s Positions sector is the response to this criticism. The galleries that show in this part of the fair are given a platform for a single artist to present one major project. This includes installations or exhibitions that include multiple works […]
