Limited editions with unlimited appeal
Galleries at the fair are presenting limited-edition prints
that take reproduction to a whole new level of complexity.
What looks like a mud painting by the British artist Richard
Long at Alan Cristea (A12) is, in fact, a carborundum print,
a technique invented by Henri Goetz and pioneered by the
Spanish artist Joan Miró, says the gallery’s director David
Cleaton-Roberts. The combination of silicon carbide powder
and PVA glue creates a paste that Long has worked on to the
aluminium printing plate with his hands. The paste hardens
to form a hard relief that is then inked to produce the singular
effect of African Dub (2014), which is on sale for $29,750 in
an edition of five. Here’s our pick of other unusual prints at
the fair.

Public benefit of US private museums under scrutiny
Senator examines
tax-exempt status
News that the Senate Finance
Committee is questioning the
tax-exempt status of private museums has sent concerned murmurs
through the Miami art world this
week. The city is home to several of
the US’s highest-profile singledonor institutions. The committee’s
chairman, Senator Orrin Hatch, has
written to 11 US museums, including the Rubell Family Collection in
Wynwood, requesting information
on attendance, opening hours, trustees and grant-making activities.
The inquiry follows a New York
Times report about the proliferation of private museums, several
of which are close to collectors’
homes and earn them a hefty tax
write-off. Hatch’s letter expresses
concern that a few institutions “offer minimal benefit to the public”.
“It is true that many of Miami’s
private museums are empty or
closed for much of the year,” says
Terence Riley, the first director
of the Pérez Art Museum Miami.
“But I don’t think that being open
every day and having good attendance is the only sign of providing
a public service.”
The collector Martin Margulies,
who did not receive Hatch’s letter,
notes that “every penny” of the
admission charge at his space, the

Warehouse, “goes to a homeless
centre for women and children”.
Some of South Florida’s privately
owned spaces, including the De la
Cruz Collection in Miami, which
is free and open all year, and the
Gallery at Windsor in Vero Beach,
which is open by appointment,
have opted not to register as public
charities. “I didn’t see any reason
to constrain what I do to comply
with the requirements of being a
501c3 [not-for-profit company],”
Carlos de la Cruz says.
Stephen Urice, a professor at the
University of Miami School of Law,
says that the inquiry is “a wake-up
call to remind founders that their
foundations exist for the public,
not for them”. A spokeswoman for
the Rubell Family Collection said
that the Rubells were unavailable
for comment. A spokesman for
Hatch did not respond to a request
for comment.

Regular visitors to the Miami
Beach Convention Center
should start saying their
farewells to its colourful, retro
swirly carpets, which date back
to the 1950s. The first phase of
a $600m renovation and expansion project begins shortly after
this year’s edition of Art Basel in
Miami Beach closes, and promises a state-of-the-art facility and
new outdoor public spaces.
The plans include a proposal
for an 800-room hotel, developed by Portman Holdings,
which requires the approval
of 60% of voters in a public
ballot to be held in March 2016
(postponed from November).
In August, the Miami Herald reported that 56.5% of voters were
likely to approve the plan. This
week, Philip Levine, the mayor
of Miami Beach, reiterated the
potential benefits of the hotel to
the city’s residents, including an
expected reduction of traffic in
South Beach.
Representatives of the City of
Miami and Art Basel in Miami
Beach have been reassuring
visitors and exhibitors this week
that the fair will not be interrupted by the work, which will
be largely complete by the time
of the fair’s 2017 edition. According to a construction contract
presentation published in May,
if “key Art Basel milestones” and
“substantial completion” are
not achieved by May 2018, the
city can demand $15,000 a day
in damages from contractors.
The renovation is estimated to
generate $5bn over 30 years.

Miami is famous for its Art Deco

the Chinese city’s international
reputation as a hotspot for Art
Deco received a major boost last
month when it became the first
Asian city to host the 13th World
Congress of the International
Coalition of Art Deco Societies.
In the decadent 1930s, under
colonial rule, the Chinese city
enjoyed a building boom that was
Art Deco in style but informed
by Chinese decorative arts
traditions. “Shanghai has the most
international collection of Art
Deco in the world, with buildings
designed by architects from the US,

of vernacular architecture—a

have increased government and

The Cuban government stepped

dives later, they found them.
“We talk about the internet using
mystifying metaphors like the
cloud and cyberspace,” Paglen told
the group of divers just before we
jumped into the water, “but the internet is a material thing. It’s made
of cables and tubes and switches.”
And in this particular place, the
internet is also home to a dizzying
array of underwater life: green,
orange and blue parrotfish, sea
fans, soft coral and sponges. An
entire ecosystem thrives on top of
the cables that carry our messages.
Think about that the next time
you send an email. And it’s not just
small fish that congregate around
these cables: sharks are known to
chew on them too, perhaps attracted by their electromagnetic fields.
“They’re trying to eat the cats out
of the internet,” Paglen joked.
The artist’s search for underwater cables is only just beginning:
Paglen said that he will be heading
to Guam and Hawaii next. “I want
to make images to try to help us
understand the systems” that are
prevalent today, he says. These
include the greatest tool for free,
widespread communication and
research we have ever known—as
well as our governments’ efforts to
monitor and control it.

SoBe’s best worst
bar gets arty
Solange makes a Ruckus over porn habits
Seasoned visitors to Art Basel know Free
Spirits as the preferred late-night dive bar
of art handlers, fair-fatigued journalists
and Miami locals. It’s what one patron recently dubbed “South Beach’s best worst
bar”. Needless to say, it has never been a
place for major-league art—until this week,
when the Paris-based Chalet Society and
Miami’s own Locust Projects switched
the bar’s television screens to ambient
video art by the likes of Jesper Just,
Christian Jankowski and Laure Prouvost.
One bartender recommended pairing the
exhibition, titled Spirit Your Mind, with the
house’s signature Piehole whiskey shot for
just $5.75. What a bargain.
Pamela Anderson
rallies with artists
to free big Lolita
For the animal-rights activist and former
Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, the
“best part of Art Basel” is the local artist
duo Clandestinos’s mural of an orca, titled
Free Lolita—a reference to the whale that
has been kept in captivity in the Miami
Seaquarium since 1970. Anderson posted
an image of the mural on Instagram. It is
painted on a Wynwood building owned
by Miami Beach’s mayor, Philip Levine,
who supports Lolita’s release. “It warms
my heart to see Miami’s artistic community joining with Peta to rally around this
beautiful orca, who belongs in the ocean,
where she might see her family again”,
Anderson wrote. Patron Jorge Pérez also
chimed in. “Miami is one of the most progressive cities in the world. Holding orcas
captive for show is no longer acceptable.”
The globetrotting DJ and Art Basel veteran Solange Knowles killed the music in the wee hours of Friday morning to address
the crowd at the Dom Pérignon party at the Wall. Knowles wanted to apologise: she was going to have to cut short her set
because her computer had caught a virus while she was watching porn earlier in the day. “So I’ve been DJing off a computer
with a virus on it,” she confessed. Knowles went on to say that this was OK “because we’re in Miami, and it’s Basel and all that
jazz”. Things took a more sober tone when she imparted a few words of wisdom. “The moral of the story is that if a porn site
tells you that you’re gonna get a virus, you’re gonna get a virus. And if you’re DJing, that’s really not a smart thing to do,” she
said. Knowles then announced that she would try to play two more songs before handing over to DJ Ruckus, whose computer
was lurgy-free. Ruckus, who stood in the booth next to her, took the microphone to proclaim: “I watch way more porn than
you do, Solange,” to which Knowles responded: “That’s debatable.”
Who’s the daddy?
It’s a family affair
for Ratner and Pigozzi
For the collector Jean Pigozzi, the combination of “pretty girls, drinks and the
beach” at this week’s lunch at Soho House
to promote Paddle8’s auction of works
and ephemera from his collection made
it a “perfect event”. The auction promised
to offer a “window into the vibrant world
of an international jetsetter, photographer and philanthropist”. So, too, did the
party, which had all those elements and food to boot (although servers warned
surfside diners that the seagulls can be a tad aggressive).
Mixing with a host of art-world luminaries was Rush Hour director Brett Ratner,
who introduced his own pretty girl to Pigozzi, saying that the collector was his “best
friend in the whole world” and proclaiming that “we’re gonna adopt a child together”.
The two met years ago, when Ratner introduced himself to Pigozzi, saying that the
photographer Helmut Newton had told him that Pigozzi was the father he’d never
met. “I was with a woman when he told me that and she was so angry,” Pigozzi
recalled. “She said, ‘How could you hide this from me? You said you didn’t have kids!’”

editors
After a week of producing daily
newspapers on the hoof, the last
thing you’d think we’d consider is
covering another art fair. But when
the artists Elmgreen & Dragset call,
how can you say no?
The flesh might be weak but
the spirit is willing for Michael
and Ingar, who are creating a
conceptual art fair for their solo
show at Beijing’s Ullens Center in
January. Such is their attention to
detail that they have asked The Art
Newspaper to contribute a daily
edition for the exhibition. (Sorry,
team: Christmas is cancelled.)
We’ll be on the lookout for more
breaking news from the power
duo, such as the announcement
on Tuesday that Elmgreen &
Dragset are creating a major piece
of public art for Miami Beach’s
revamped convention centre—a
giant swimming pool doubled over
on itself that will be installed in the
new park next door. The work is
one of six artist’s commissions for
an ambitious project conceived
and organised by the City of Miami
Beach’s Art in Public Places programme. Watch this space to see if
they can top that in Beijing.

struggling London Metropolitan University,
may see its home turned into luxury flats and
its students and faculty uprooted.
On the brighter side, attendance is soaring. Scores of MFA programmes are minting
new artists around the US, and the model is
spreading. Galleries are signing art students
as feverishly as Wall Street is hiring finance
graduates. Innovative projects are injecting
energy inside and outside the system. Meanwhile, the information age has turned art
schools into feeders for a vast digital-entertainment complex. The most desirable trait
of today’s workers, we are often reminded,
is their creativity.

reappraisal. How healthy, on balance, has
it been to bring art into the university? Are
current training methods the best ones?
And—in a timely question that will be
explored on Saturday, in Art Basel in Miami
Beach’s Conversation series—how should art
schools prepare graduates for an increasingly
complex, globally dispersed, market-driven
art world?
Two moods permeate art schools these
days. On the one hand, it has been a year of
spectacularly unpleasant news. Leading institutions have suffered controversial changes
in leadership, raking up painful questions
about mission and governance. At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles,
the whole student body walked out in protest
over heavy-handed management and donor
influence. Elsewhere, financial distress
looms. London’s Cass school, fondly known
as the “Aldgate Bauhaus”, which is part of the

Black Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina, where students were free to experiment and could stay for weeks—or even years
As art schools feel their way forward in
this rapidly changing environment, they
confront four challenges.
First, and most urgent, is tuition, especially in the US. A typical MFA graduate is
sandbagged with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. “Bar none, the biggest problem
in teaching art right now is the cost,” says
Jon Kessler, a professor of art at Columbia
University. Not only do exorbitant costs
limit access, but debt pushes artists toward
“safe” work and career choices.
A related concern is bureaucracy, especially at large universities. Layers of administration can stifle the flexible atmosphere in
which creative risk-taking thrives. Academic
life is all too often distracted by turf squabbles and navel-gazing. Puncturing the silos
isolating the arts from the humanities and
sciences has, by and large, proved elusive.
A third conundrum is sorting out what to
teach. According to the MacArthur Foundation, 65% of today’s elementary school students will end up in jobs that have not even
been invented yet. What, then, will it mean
to be an artist later in the 21st century?
And what of the majority of graduates who
will not go into the studio-gallery system?
“We have absolutely no idea which media,
skills or techniques tomorrow’s artists will
use,” says Nicolas Bourriaud, the recently
dismissed head of the École Nationale
Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, in Paris.
Finally, art schools need to find their footing in relation to the art world. An honest
case could be made that the school should
remain a sanctum of pure curiosity and
learning before artists are sent out into the
“real world”. But today’s art graduates will

as multi-tasking, self-promoting, independent entrepreneurs.
For the most part, art “programmes are at
a loss when it comes to preparation for the
real world”, says the artist Sanford Biggers.
Workshops on professional survival skills,
when they are offered, sit on the edges of
the curriculum. And it is far from clear what
exactly is needed. “Even the minority who
aspire to the world of Artforum have to navigate local scenes,” says Howard Singerman,
a professor of fine arts at Hunter College,
New York. “They work in the art world in
Madison, or Boulder, or San Francisco.”
• In London, six new scholarships were recently
established for refugees and asylum seekers
at Goldsmiths, University of London. In
addition to the £140,000 earmarked for the
initial scholarships, the school is “developing an
ongoing academic response to this terrible crisis”.
• At the brand-spanking-new Art Institute at the
Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz in Basel,
Switzerland, students indulge in curriculum-free
learning and close faculty interaction. Overseen by
Chus Martinez, projects such as the Next Society put
students in dialogue with scientists and thinkers.
• At the Rhode Island School of Design, in
the US, students and staff from the school and
neighbouring Brown University teach, learn
and discuss “creative computation” in the Code
Studio. “Coding with algorithms is a language,
like drawing with charcoal,” says the school’s
president, Rosanne Somerson.
Duchamp’s masterclass
Meanwhile, assumptions around art practice
are shifting. If previous generations saw
themselves as being in opposition to “the
system”, many younger artists no longer
regard “business” as a dirty word. They seek
to master the status quo to advance their
own creative or political agendas.
On 13 May 1960, Marcel Duchamp—coincidentally rated the “most influential artist”
in a 2006 poll of art students conducted by
The Art Newspaper—was invited to Hofstra
College in New York for a symposium titled
Should the Artist Go to College? He offered a
prescient explanation of why artists should
be trained to function inside a modern society. They should integrate, he said, to offer an
antidote to empty commercialism.
Today’s artist, Duchamp said, “finds
himself facing a world based on brutal
materialism, where everything is valued in
the light of physical well-being and where
Graduates need to be independent entrepreneurs who can multi-task and self-promote
religion, after losing much ground, is no
more the great dispenser of spiritual values”.
Thanks to education, however, the artist
“will possess the very tools that permit him
to oppose this materialistic state of affairs”.
“It goes without saying that to fulfil such
a mission,” Duchamp concluded, “the highest education is indispensable.”

eing a good curator is all about spotting art that others might
overlook. René Morales, who has been a curator in Miami for
more than a decade, launched Global Positioning Systems, an
ongoing programme at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (Pamm)
that pairs key works from the museum’s permanent holdings
with important loans from private collections. Morales organised Pamm’s current exhibition of site-specific sculptural work by the Los
Angeles-born, Miami-based artist Nicolas Lobo (until 13 December). Next
year, he will organise a show of work by the African-American artist Romare Bearden, as well as new projects with Sarah Oppenheimer and Susan
Hiller. When we needed an expert eye to steer us through the thousands of
works on show at Art Basel in Miami Beach, he was an obvious choice.

UNTITLED (FROM THE
AMERICAN STORIES CYCLE) (2015)
Metro Pictures (E1)
“Longo is at a real high point in his
expansive production, in terms of
both his level of technical achievement and the subtlety and sophistication with which he approaches
his subject matter. This huge, new
drawing is evocative and mysterious, relating indirectly to Truman
Capote’s In Cold Blood. It forms part
of Longo’s long-standing engagement with the dark undercurrents
that run just beneath the surface of
suburban American life.”

Rosalyn Drexler
THE DREAM (1963)
Garth Greenan (S9)
“Though under-acknowledged, the
89-year-old artist was working in the
Pop mode more or less side by side
with much more recognisable, male
counterparts. In place of the coolness and detachment of artists like
Warhol and Lichtenstein, Drexler’s
work is charged with emotion and
imbued with personal dimensions,
presenting scenes of violence alongside scenes of love and passion.”

BREATHING PANEL #2 (2015)
Lehmann Maupin (K16)
“This is from a recent project that
Nari began after visiting one of the
oldest existing African-American
churches in the country, in Savannah, Georgia. There are holes in the
floor of the church that date back
to the era of the Underground Railroad; they permitted the escaped
slaves hidden below the floorboards
to breathe. At the same time, the
holes related to patterned diagrams that are common to African
religious traditions, particularly
Congolese cosmograms and Afro-Caribbean abakuá imagery. Nari
laid sheets of copper on the floor
of his studio and danced on top of
them to create the marks, using his
body to reinforce the reference to
the church floor.”

UNTITLED (POLICEMAN) (2015)
Jack Shainman Gallery (B21)
“This is a new work depicting an
African-American man in a policeman’s uniform, at rest. It immediately recalls the issue of police
violence against African-Americans,
and the Black Lives Matter movement that has risen up over the past
year or so. In this image, Marshall
upends traditional associations of
power and powerlessness.”

Elizabeth Dee (J15)
“John Giorno is another figure who
has seen a remarkable resurgence in
recent years. He has been working
for decades to narrow the distances
between experimental art, poetry
and performance. His work delivers
sharp, barbed statements that have
a way of resonating and staying
with you, of echoing in your brain.
The bright, even garish colours in
this recent set of works amplify the
impact of his terse proclamations.”

Galerie Lelong (G1)
The 87-year-old Cuban-born, New
York-based artist “is one of the
most under-recognised producers
working today. She is a pioneer of
experiments involving the shaped
canvas. Her work strikes an elegant
balance between an analytical kind
of formalism and sensuality.”

INTERVIEW
Artist
Christo and Jeanne-Claude made waves with Surrounded Islands (1983) in Miami’s Biscayne Bay. Next year, Christo returns to the water in Italy, with a new work, Floating Piers
The Art Newspaper: Why did you want to
make Floating Piers in Italy?
Christo: Some projects we design for a particular space, like The Gates in Central Park.
For others, we have the idea and we have
to find a site. In 1971, we proposed small
floating piers in Rio de La Plata, near Buenos
Aires. I did some drawings, but we never got

surrounded 11 islands in Miami’s
Biscayne Bay with 6.5 million
square feet of floating fabric the
colour of Pepto-Bismol. Next year,
Christo will return to the water for
his first public project since 2005.
Floating Piers is also his first major
work since the death of Jeanne-Claude, his
wife and collaborator, in 2009.
Christo and his team plan to erect a 3kmlong walkway covered with 70,000 square
metres of shimmering yellow fabric in the
middle of Italy’s Lake Iseo. Visitors to Art
Basel might want to plan a pilgrimage 260
miles south to the project (18 June-3 July
2016), which overlaps with the Swiss fair.
The ambitious endeavour is estimated to
cost around $11m, although the final budget
has not been determined. Christo funds his
projects through the sale of his drawings,
preparatory sketches and other works of art.
The Bulgarian-born, New York-based artist
is 80 years old, and has never been busier. He
was awarded the insignia of the Commander
of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French
embassy last month, and his work is the
subject of three simultaneous exhibitions: at
the Tampa Museum of Art in Florida (until 3
January), the Loveland Museum in Colorado
(until 17 January) and Craig F. Starr Gallery in
New York (until 23 January). We spoke to him
at his studio in SoHo last month.

“Most art today is illustration. Our projects have the
real things: the real wind, the real sun, the real fear”
Walk on water with Christo
Your last major project was The Gates in
Central Park, New York, in 2005. Since then,
we have come to spend so much time documenting the world through our phones. Do
you think that will change the way people
experience your work?
I don’t stand for anything electronic. I don’t
know how to drive. I don’t like to talk on the
telephone and I don’t use a computer. I have
no interest in virtual things. Our projects
have the real things: the real wind, the real
sun, the real fear, the real danger. Most art today is illustration. Galleries are full of illustration—art that illustrates war, that illustrates
difficulty. But it’s not real. This is why it’s
so banal, all this video. And on the sidewalk, you see people looking down at their
phones. They are so outside of themselves
that they forget the real fear of falling down
and getting hurt. But you cannot replace the
pleasure and the sensuality of real things.
Christo wants people to walk bare-footed
on his “very sensual, very sexy” 3km-long
walkway across Italy’s Lake Iseo

Why did you want to enable people to walk
on water?
The idea to walk on the water was very dear
to us. I don’t sit in my studio—I am always
standing. I have no chair, no stool. I don’t
How did you execute the project?
In the late 1990s, there was an incredible
invention: they figured out how to make
piers and docks with high-density polyethylene cubes that float and are connected. In a
special factory in Brescia, we are producing
200,000 cubes that will be connected by giant
screws. To create the floating pier design, we
are installing 140 anchors [that weigh] five
to seven tonnes each. They will be placed
inside industrial balloons, the kind used for
oil exploration. Special boats will lead the
balloons to the correct position, which is determined by the engineers. Then divers will
open a valve, the balloon will deflate and the
anchor will fall into place.
Yayoi Kusama, Pumpkin, 1993
Why did you choose Lake Iseo?
We visited four lakes at the foot of the Alps
secretly; no one except our lawyers and
some engineers knew that we were working
on it. We chose Lake Iseo for simple reasons.
It is accessible, 60 miles east of Milan, [and]
one of Europe’s largest and tallest lake
islands stands in the middle. Almost 2,000
people live on that mountain island. To go to
the mainland, they take boats—there is no
bridge. But for the first time, next year, they
can walk on the water for 16 days.
have an elevator. I climb around 90 steps,
15 or 20 times a day. You can find elements
of water and earth in many of our projects.
Running Fence [a veiled fence installed in
the California hills in 1976] extended for a
quarter of a mile into the Pacific Ocean. We
installed Surrounded Islands in the Biscayne
Bay. The beautiful thing with this project
is that you will be walking on a pedestrian
street and then, all of a sudden, you will
realise that you are walking on water. A boat
passes, and you feel it coming. It’s a very
sensual project, very sexy. This project is so
much about touch. I want people to walk
bare-footed. Many people will [initially] feel
imbalanced, because it’s not like you are
walking on a bridge.

permission. Then we tried to do it in Tokyo
Bay. We worked on it for two years. The
technology was not there, but it stayed in
our hearts. Last year, I said: “I will be 80 and
I would like to do something very fast.” So
we decided to try again. We did three public
projects in Italy in the late 1960s and early
1970s, so I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult, because they are familiar with my work.

○ “This
heavy on painting,” says Rosa
de la Cruz of the exhibition You’ve
Got to Know the Rules to Break
Them, which is drawn from the
private collection she has built with
her husband, Carlos. The show features more than 40 contemporary
artists—including Americans such
as Mark Bradford, Joe Bradley and
Tauba Auerbach, and their German
counterparts Martin Kippenberger
and Sigmar Polke—who have
digested art-historical movements
including Minimalism and
Abstract Expressionism. De la
Cruz says that the exhibition is a
way to “contextualise the work
and see how the Germans and
Americans coexist”.
In both countries, artists have
become attracted to processbased work because of the rise
of new technologies, De la Cruz
says. Painting is “not only about
the hand, but also about what
technology can offer”, she says.
She cites Wade Guyton, who is
included in the show. Many of his
canvases are made using an Epson
printer, “but they don’t belong to
the printer, they belong to him”,
De la Cruz says. Other artists, such
as Sterling Ruby, have absorbed
the history and technologies of
graffiti. “He uses a spray can, but
it’s not graffiti art,” De la Cruz says.
“It’s abstraction.”
Although much of the work
is painting, some sculptures are
also on view. On the institution’s
second floor, there is assemblage
work by the US sculptor Rachel
Harrison, who often works with
an eclectic assortment of random
ephemera. Harrison, De la Cruz

says, “is one of the best American artists I know”. The German
artist Isa Genzken, Harrison’s
artistic forebear, is represented by
a maquette of her proposal for a
structure for Ground Zero in New
York. Also included is work by Felix
Gonzalez-Torres, who has been
“the inspiration for everything
we’ve done”, De la Cruz says.
“If you look at our collection,
every year it’s very different,” she
says. “We live with the work, so we
can make changes based on the way
things feel. Sometimes, you create a
relation no one has seen before.”
Regardless of the exhibition,
one of the collection’s central aims
is education. During the show’s
installation, a group of students
from Florida International University and Miami Dade College
were invited to get a sense of the
hanging process. “They get to see
the other side of things, the fact
that a work has to be installed,”
De la Cruz says, adding: “The best
experience [the students] get is to
see that they are also part of the
equation. This isn’t something that
is only for a very few.”

new director of the
Pérez Art Museum Miami, Franklin
Sirmans organised this exhibition
with the Los Angeles-based
conceptual artist Martine Syms.
The artist has created a series of
posters inspired by advertisements
for the Chitlin’ Circuit—a chain of
venues that were considered to be
safe havens for African-American
performers, such as B.B. King and
Aretha Franklin, at a time of strict
racial segregation in the US. Portraits
of the entertainers appear alongside
poetry by Syms, and will be shown in
both the Locust Projects gallery space
and on buses and at transit stops
along the Overtown and Miami Beach
routes as part of Art on the Move’s
public art initiative. G.Ai.
Make sure you get a ticket to ride with
Franklin Sirmans and Martine Syms

Sun Splashed is the largest survey of Nari Ward’s
work to date. The exhibition of the Jamaican-born
New Yorker, who is best known for his sculptures
and installations assembled from found objects, will
include works spanning two-and-a-half decades. The
show will feature Canned Smiles (2013), a comment on
racial stereotypes made with the artist’s son and daughter, and the recently completed Scandal Bag; History
Feeds Mistrust (2015), which has never been shown
before. The show’s deceptively happy title comes from
a series of photographs documenting a performance
that took place in a number of buildings in Italy in
2013, during the artist’s Rome Prize residency. In each
image, Ward—dressed in a pink shirt, white shoes and
straw hat, imitating the outfit his uncle wore to entertain tourists in Jamaica—has been splashed with water
and holds a potted plant found in the location. The
upbeat outfit was used as a way of hiding from tourists
the oppression of plantation workers. J.S.

THE ART NEWSPAPER ART BASEL IN MIAMI BEACH WEEKEND EDITION 5-6 DECEMBER 2015
WEEKEND AT A GLANCE
Art Basel in Miami Beach: 2-6 December 2015
○ Taking place
around town
Good luck finding time to hit
the beach this week. With
close to 20 satellite fairs revolving around Art Basel in Miami
Beach, even the most diehard
collector will be hard-pressed
to see it all. Although most of
the events heavily emphasise
contemporary art, each has a
different focus.

Between the two of them,
the sister fairs Art Miami and
Context have 215 exhibitors
from 39 countries. This year,
German and Korean galleries
have been given pride of place.
At Context, a special section
called Art from Berlin brings
together five galleries (Galerie
Friedmann-Hahn, Galerie
Kornfeld, Podbielski Contemporary, Tammen and Partner
and Wichtendahl Galerie)
exhibiting work by 15 artists,
including Stéphane Couturier, Anke Eilergerhard and
Hubertus Hamm. In addition,
ten exhibitors come from the
Galleries Association of Korea,
including Gallery Bhak and the
Columns Gallery.

UNTIL 6 DECEMBER

This year’s Design Visionary Award, an annual prize
inaugurated in 2014, goes to
the Swiss-born, San Francisco-based designer Yves Béhar.
His work includes the One
Laptop Per Child project,
which has distributed three
million computers in developing countries. “Yves is not
only a perfect example of what
the Design Visionary Award
celebrates, but also demonstrates what the industry can
achieve by truly making the
world a better place through
design,” says Rodman Primack,
the fair’s executive director.
Béhar’s work can be seen on a
special stand at the fair.
Visitors can see works including Bahar Behbahani’s short film Ajax Boot
(2015) at Pulse, where the Play project focuses on video art

The Israeli choreographer,

(1924-2007) is being honoured
in a special section at Nada,
which has been organised
by Prem Krishnamurthy. Her
textile hangings are “suffused
with performativity and the
body”, says Krishnamurthy,
noting that additional work
by the artists Sharon Lockhart
and Jon Kessler further picks
up on connections between
“photography, time-based and
kinetic pieces”. Proceeds from
sales go to the Artis Contemporary Art Fund and the Noa
Eshkol Foundation for Movement Notation.
Pulse Miami Beach
Indian Beach Park, 4601 Collins Avenue,
Miami Beach
UNTIL 5 DECEMBER
www.pulse-art.com
Play, a project dedicated to
video art at Pulse, has been
organised by the curator Stacy
Engman. Four artists—Rachel
Rampleman, Bahar Behbahani, Julius Hofmann and Nino
Mustica—will be represented
by work that “push[es] the
technical boundaries of the
medium of art films and
videos,” Engman says. She adds
that these artists adopt forms
that “technological limitations
prohibited throughout art
history”. The works range in
length from less than three
minutes (Rampleman’s piece) to
more than 25 minutes (a work
by Hofmann).

This fair’s inaugural edition
features a number of events in
various spaces, including the
exhibition Recycling Religion
(until 6 December), which
focuses on how artists from
Eastern Europe (and some from
the West) have dealt with the
death of old Communist ideals
and the birth of new religious
ones. The show, on view at the
Deauville Parking Garage (6625
Indian Creek Drive, Miami
Beach), includes work by Pussy
Riot and Jusuf Hadzifejzovic.
The show has been organised
by Juan Puntes and Marat
Guelman and is due to open at
