Last month, I went to opening day at the Rubell Collection during Art Basel. It was a total zoo, and there was plenty of weird food on hand (which I photographed). I also photographed a million other things. And somehow I totally overlooked this photo, which I’m just re-discovering now. This was in the backyard, where the food was being served. Sitting around a tin of bacon, was a mound of latex gloves–one of which we turned into balloon art. It was not well received.

The best part of Art Basel: leaving the facelifts at the convention center to see what was going on in the outside world.
Lots more pix after the jump.

Thanks for the tan, the lechón, and the narchitecture. It’s been real.

- And I Quote, from the New Times: “Half a billion dollars is poised to change hands during the next frenzied four days, as our fair city becomes an international Opa-locka/Hialeah Flea Market for art swells. Soon there will be more private jets than turkey buzzards flying over downtown’s Miami-Dade County Courthouse.” Bonus points: The article comes with a downloadable print-out of a “Baselopoly” Monopoly board. The most expensive property is, you guessed it, Basel. The cheapest? Contemporanea Fine Art in Little Havana.
- The Sun Post: An interesting article about what all those satellite fairs and art galleries do for the community that lives in and around Wynwood: not much.
- City Link (Article not available online): “The term art fair can summon all manner of terrifying images: overweight bargain hunters in wide-brimmed hats and floral shirts, coconut and driftwood sculptures bearing human features, watercolor paintings of Key West sunsets…” Not really, but if there had been a Basel satellite fair like this one, I woulda been there in a second because it probably would have been a ton of fun.
