(Things we're doing and stuff we like)
Art Basel Miami Beach is absolutely white hot. This convergence of art, design, fashion and celebrity has the same kind of heady atmosphere experienced at major film festivals like Cannes or Sundance where creativity meets big business. And it’s that same nature of talent spotting that fuels the excitement – whether its at the main event or the dozen or so alternative showcases that spring up each year. At times the atmosphere is more street theatre than art fair. Now in its 2nd year Design Miami took a firm hold in the rejuvenated design district where blocks are closed off to traffic for gallery open-houses. The stunning, period Moore Building is home to Design Miami where exhibits of furniture and product design were thoughtfully edited. You really do get the sense that you’ll find things here that you won’t see anywhere else.
