MIAMI I ART CENTRAL
Sunday, December 3, 2006
It is official--I am more than excited for the opening of Art Basel 2006. Although, I have attended the fair every year, I always anticipate this week as a time to see old friends, an abundance of great art (ok, not always) and experience the nightlife.Miami Art Central has contacted me about the events they will be hosting during Basel. Video: An Art, a History, 1965-2005 is excellent and features works by Johan Grimonprez, Bruce Nauman, Dan Graham and Thierry Kuntzel. It is a time consuming show (it took me 2 visits and aprx 4 hours to sit through everything), but well worth it. I highly recommend you visit before it ends on December 10. As you can see below and in my previous post, MAC will be hosting breakfast everday, a panel discussion and a talk by Dominic McIver Lopes.
