Beats After Sunset

Every first Friday of the month the Bass Museum hosts a happy hour called “Beats After Sunset". It is an opportunity to visit the museum, check out current exhibitions, sip some gratis alcohol and mingle with beautiful Miamians and snowbirds. Yes, as the country is freezing, we anticipate having them until March.

Here are a few pics I took from my last visit. Isaac Julien’s exhibition will be up until March 6. You can check out “Ten Thousand Waves” which is a “collaborative effort between Julien and some of China’s leading artistic voices”.

Art Basel 3: Seven, Miami Independent Thinkers and Rainbow City

After watching a twenty something getting a tattoo at Hello Kitty World, we headed to Seven, a collection of art of seven galleries from New York and London. I enjoyed this collection very much, especially a picture that said:

"the same day they signed the divorce papers...

... a tornado hit the house"

Here are others from Seven

I also loved the chalkboard were visitors wrote what artists are:


After Seven we went to Miami Independent Thinkers at Casa Wynwood. It was my overall favorite from Art Basel, very Miami.



This was the piece I adored the most from everything I saw:
 “Dina & Paul" by Rainer Lagemann (stainless steel squares, welded, nickel plated)

And here is another one by the same artist


We ended our Art Basel tour on Sunday sitting for a while at Rainbow City, hand eating a nutella/strwberries crepe from Cazacrepes from some of the very in-style food trucks.



I apologize again for posting these pics a month after Art Basel but like I said, I was on finals, graduation and obvi, the holidays. Happy 2011 Miami.

Art Basel Part 2: Pulse at the Ice Palace, Nada Art Fair & Hello Kitty

After Wednesday and Thursday Art basel parties we visited Pulse at the Ice Palace on Friday December 3^rd. 

On Saturday I wanted to go to Acqua at the Acqua Hotel but I missed it because I had to go to class; bf told me it was good and that they had art displayed in each room. We met at night to go to Nada at the Dauville Hotel.

Next day we went to Wynwood to the Sanrio small gift tour. Wonderland for little girls… and grown ups too ;)
