Tadd Phillips David Adjaye's Genesis pavilion was in the parking lot of the Miami Convention Center during Art Basel Miami Beach:
(from the Miami Herald) Adjaye is a self-described British-Ghanaian architect. The son of a diplomat from Ghana, he was born in Tanzania and lived in various parts of Africa before moving to the United Kingdom. At 43, he is very successful, having won critical acclaim and high-profile commissions for projects such as the National Museum of African-American History and Culture in Washington, DC. Although the Genesis pavilion was not for sale, its presence was relevant for the art market. Some believe that Miami is not a "serious place" for art and culture. It can therefore be difficult for nonestablished artists in the area to make their mark. When a prestigious artist like Adjaye shows his work in Miami, it gives other artists legitimacy; critics will find it more difficult to say that Miami is not a serious place for art when there are serious artists showing their work there. When art experts go to see Adjaye's work, they will no doubt see the work of newer artists, potentially leading to sales. |

Nicholas Krislov Art Basel Miami Beach is an interesting mix of both a formal art exhibit with famous artists and attendees and also a place for bourgeoning artists and the common person to experience some of the greatest contemporary art in the world. Just a few decades ago, Miami Beach was seen as a beach spot with very little culture, and few places to experience the art world. With the influx of Art Basel Miami Beach, the up and coming artist can be exposed to the general public, while sales of sought-after contemporary art can be purchased. Part of the draw of the show is that there are so many types of contemporary art available- from classic piccaso's to artists that few have heard of. The same can be said for the people who visit the exhibitions. There are the ultra elite looking to buy expensive and rare art pieces- concerned with their own over the top fashions. However, the huge number of sideshows also give the average fan a taste of contemporary art from around the world they could only wish to get at 100 museums. One aspect of the ABMB which is interesting is the surge of communities within the show. There are pieces focused on all different types of mediums. Interestingly, the show has become a hot spot for African American artists. Many celebrities including P.Diddy, Pharell and Will Smith travel to Miami Beach each year for the show's features of African American Art, transcending culture, history and politics. Another interesting part of the exhibit is the rise and fall of different artists. Mr. Brainwash who was initially celebrated by many in the Contemporary Art community is now seen as a sellout. Pictured is his exhibit last year, "Under Construction" The Art Basel Miami Beach show has incredible implications on how the public views art. Instead of famous contemporary art being kept in small exhibits and the elite's collections, ABMB goers can experience the art first hand with famous artists and up and coming names. The venues which the side shows appear are just as much of an attraction and a portion of the piece itself. From a walkway in a park, to sand on the beach, to the nearest convention center, the sideshow exhibits add an aspect to the show which brings people to art which may not be famous (yet) but evokes feeling and emotion within them. |

Khrystyne Wilson: Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000205 EndHTML:0000007127 StartFragment:0000002399 EndFragment:0000007091 SourceURL:[file://localhost/Users/khrystynewilson/Documents/Winter%20Course%20Response%201-5-12.doc|file://localhost/Users/khrystynewilson/Documents/Winter%20Course%20Response%201-5-12.doc] The Art Basel Exhibition at the Miami Beach Convention Center is an exhibition that focuses on introducing new artwork from both well known, and up and coming artists. The Exhibition focuses on Black and Latin American contemporary art, helping to introduce new artists to the contemporary art scene, as well as promote Black and Latin American artists, buyers, and curators within the art sector. I am focusing within the sector of Art Nova which is described by the Art Basel Exhibition as: "designed for galleries representing two to three of their artists with new works, meaning that they have been created during the last two years - and are often even fresh from the studio." Within this section, I have decided to focus on the Carl Freedman Gallery, and in specific the Latino artist Armando Andrade Tudela. Because the Gallery is located in London, the artists within the gallery, along with the curator will benefit by exhibiting pieces at the Art Basel Exhibition in Miami. The exhibition of the Peruvian artist, Armando Andrade Tudela will garner support for the gallery within the heavy Latino population in Miami. His focus on the country of Peru, as well as the history of Cocaine in Latin American countries will resonate strongly with the Latin population in Miami, thus positively introducing both the artist Armando Andrade Tudela, and the Carl Freedman Gallery. The Exhibition in Miami provides a very good place for Armando Andrade Tudela to promote his own work. As I stated previously, the heavy Latino population that inhabits Miami, and that consistently visits the Art Basel Exhibition will connect with the artist, based on their similar cultures. Thus Armando Andrade Tudela will be able to expand his following to the United States and further his global following, which will now be seen, at the very least, in Peru, Great Britain and the US. The curator will also benefit from this increase in popularity and sales, because he/she will then be able to open the door to the US market for his other artists, while consistently selling Tudela's artwork. I believe the Art Basel Exhibition in Miami is a good example of how to introduce people who are outside the Art Market, into it, thus creating more revenue for the market in general, while increasing the supply of talented, but under represented artists, such as those from Latino or Black communities. Although I think it's important for the Art Basel Exhibition to maintain it's allure through being distinct in what it offers to the art market, I think it could be beneficial to create additional exhibitions like it, that may service artists outside of contemporary art, and artists from other minorities for example Asian artists. Some interesting links of Armando Andrade Tudela: [http://www.carlfreedman.com/artist-bio/armando-andrade-tudela-b1975-lima-peru|http://www.carlfreedman.com/artist-bio/armando-andrade-tudela-b1975-lima-peru]
