The greatest event on Miami’s earth is about to begin again, so put your art-game face on.
Flights now flying, MIA will be busy. Restaurants will be overcrowded, the more pretentious the busier. Sunny’s and Carbone will be impossible. Visitors should prepare outfits, iron shirts, get cufflinks ready, shine boots, halve bangs, overcomb or neglect hair, but flawlessly trim beards, doing all of this without any of it appearing unnatural – because it’s showtime in Miami.
For the past few decades, this Basel related celebration of the Arts has become larger than life. Of course, in this forever hyped time, though everything is hyped, some of the hype is worth hyping. Celebrities wanna be valeted, fashionistas wanna get fashionable, artists wanna be arty, and wannabes gonna be what they hope to be. Aesthetes from all corners of the globe will converge on Miami Beach and the city, wearing their finest, hoping to see the next million dollar banana peel tacked to a wall.
Although the Sinatra, Presley, Beatles version still grandly takes place in the Convention Center, forever Philippe Starck/Le Corbusier DESIGN MIAMI is immediately across the street, while venues like Untitled and SCOPE provide Bad Bunny/Mk.gee versions, cooler vehicles in which one can get consummate fulfillment with less commotion. Their venues are always well curated, galleries global, and beachside locations sublime. City side, Art Miami/Context continue to feature world class quality in a stunning setting by the Bay.
Their crowd is more moneyed, Mar-a-Lago faced, and Palm Beachish.
Sensing advertising bloodmoney in the water, every ambitious shark hoping to make a name for an Instagram site will promote weird clickbait, quality irrelevant. As a result, the temptation to be cajoled into attending a special zucchini unveiling on a rooftop somewhere near Wynwood is an essential part of the obstacle course that one may have to avoid in order to reach legitimate artistic bliss, Instagram influencer posts being more spam than trustworthy.
Despite what algorithms have done to our sanity, real artists and art lovers forever have seats at the table, particularly at venues like Untitled, SCOPE, Art Miami, and DESIGN, where excellence is curated and apparent and visitor access is less complicated than the bedlam at the Convention Center.
So for one week, there is no need to stomach some tacky interior decorator who demolishes history in order to build a vulgar ballroom festooned in gold leaf, demands that he receive Best in Show, puts his face on the front and back of the promotional materials, and expects the Convention Center to be named after him. It doesn’t work this way during Miami Art Week.
Last but not least, Faena Art will, for the 10th straight year, present something spectacular on the beach with British artist Es Devlin’s “Library of Us” creating a lit library. All of these fairs have smart stylish web presence. Mostly everything runs from December 2-7, but for exact details, look here:
