DAY 3: Today is Thursday, January 5th and we are examining Art Basel Miami Beach, the most popular contemporary art fairs

in the United States. Seek our and consult on-line reviews in order to formulate your own idea of this coveted contemporary art

event and art market stimulator. Choose an exhibition from one of the many "side shows" to the main Art Basel exhibition hall at

the Miami Convention Center for your report and remember to note its significance with regards to the art market. Many of these

side shows specialize in a particular kind of contemporary art, i.e. photography, video, installation, Latin American, etc. Be sure

to consider the implications of the location of the side show/exhibition, the artist (s) and curator (s) with regards to the global market

for contemporary art. The links below will get you started. Post your report in the space provided. You are encouraged to include

inks to video clips, reviews, artists, blogs and exhibitions in the space allotted for your report.
