December 4th, 2012 – Art Basel Miami day 1

It would be an understatement to say that the amount and quality of the street art in Wynwood has increased dramatically since last year.  There needs to be a stronger word. Hyper-dramatically?  Anyways, the photos below are just a few snaps I took while walking around the neighborhood after I finished hanging my work at GAB studio.  I will post pictures of the gallery once it is open but for now just feast your eyes on this small sampling of outdoor art I saw during a short walk today.  …

Art Basel 2011 – Day 3 in Wynwood

Ok, so I spent the day checking out some more great street art.  First up was Krave‘s beach party over at the Sunbather.  We got there early while he was still spreading the sand. This mural is awesome.  Full disclosure: I have known Dan for a long time now and consider him a good friend.  I first met him back in 2006 when I was painting Number 73 on Lincoln Road.

After that we decided to go back to the Bakehouse and see how the old school crews were coming along:

While we were over there, we hit up the big wall along 95. …

Art Basel 2011 – Day 2 in Wynwood

So I haven’t  made it over to the beach yet.  Partially because I am not so interested in the big fair, partially because the traffic situation is particularly bad this year.  But I did make it to a few more corners of Wynwood and the Design District.  I saw the by now infamous Miru Kim performance/installation at Primary Projects – the one where she is living naked with two live pigs for 104 hours in a storefront window.  No pictures allowed but there are some pics over at the New Times. …

Art Basel 2011 – Day 1 in Wynwood

So its Art Basel time again and I am back in Miami. As if the 14 hour drive from NC with a car full of art didn’t leave me feeling totally surreal already, every surface is covered with art.  Busy setting things up all day so I didn’t get a chance to really see much until evening.  So far: a lot of great art everywhere, amazing pop up shops, crazy people wearing crazy things, a group of squatters throwing an illegal rave in the empty lot next to the gallery, crazy, more crazy, etc.…
