We are extremely excited for this upcoming Art Basel here in Miami. Miami is known for being a tourist destination in the summer for it's hot bitches..I mean beaches. Its weather, the shopping and the relaxation. Although I think its ALWAYS a great time to come to Miami, #1 season to head over here would be during Art Basel week.
December 1st through the 4th must be spent in Miami if you are remotely enthused by art of any kind.
Art Basel only makes its way to one destination besides its home town of Switzerland. That one destination is Miami. In my opinion, that is a pretty distinct honor and this is their 10th year of making Miami their 2nd home.
We will be providing coverage of our outings during this years Art Basel and will be informing you of events we feel you need to know about!
Speaking of!
You guys HAVE to make your way out to The CO11ECTIVE, a satellite event making its way to Miami this year.
"The Co11ective features artists who form part of a conglomeration of bi-cultural visionaries known to employ distinctive skills and vision whether in the murals,
structures or canvas they coat with their muse or in the mysteriously profound photographic statements they capture. The Co11ective will showcase murals and installations by famed artists Trek Six, Lizzie Easton, Lauren Webb Harris, Celso
Gonzalez, Rimx, Larregui, SK545, Osunlade, La Pandilla, Bik Ismo, Shaun Thurston with special exhibits by Infamous Magazine, Red Bull Through My Eyes, HVW8 and Carlos “Mare139” Rodriguez."
Artist and Photographer Lizzie Easton will be among this incredible array of talent.
Lizzie Easton’s varied and successful professional life has always been dependent
on one essential, unmistakable quality: the ability to engineer profound, positive
changes in the lives of those she works with without calling attention to herself.
In her career as a midwife, Easton aided in the successful births of many children,
creating space for the most primal, nurturing connections between mothers and their
children to be made whole. As the co-creator and co-director of the noted Latin Funk
Festival in Miami, she worked silently behind the scenes to give Miami some of the
most important parties and concerts its music scene has ever experienced.
Finally, in her role as artist manager, she has worked tirelessly and often without credit to take local nightclub acts to festival stages across the world with audiences of over 30,000 people. The last few years of Easton’s life have found her own artistic spirit come into bloom, as she has started to share the photography of her years in these various roles. Her shots bear witness to intimate moments of pure, personal transcendence, and nowhere is this more evident than in this exhibit, Femi, in which she documents the grace, sensuality and power of women. The word femi translates to love, and in this case, it stands for the providential nature of femininity itself, beautifully captured in these photos by Easton’s keen eye.
We'll definitely be out there so make sure you check us out, as well as Lizzie and all of these other great artists this upcoming week!
