Basel Week Miami ’09: Jeff Soto – Primary Flight Mural

Posted by sleepboy, December 5, 2009
There are so many artists getting up at Basel Week Miami this year that it’s hard to keep up with everything. On our list today was Jeff Soto’s (interviewed) mural for Primary Flight. The almost completed piece, although different, is reminiscent of a mural he did in London during his show at StolenSpace in May.

Basel Week Miami ’09 – Marcel Dzama

Posted by sleepboy, December 3, 2009
This new piece from Marcel Dzama caught our eye when we stopped by the David Zwirner booth yesterday at the Art Basel press preview.

Not only were these available for sale, it was also a preview for what to expect from Dzama’s show at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal early next year in Canada.
