Younghye's Art Journey: Miami Art Week 2017

For one week a year, Miami becomes a global destination for art, design, music, and all things visual culture. Celebrate the year in art as collectors, art lovers, and curators come together for the most talked-about art fairs, openings, and events.

I attended this year for the first time and checked 12 different art fairs for four days. It was so much, but it was a fun at the same time.

UNTITLED, Miami Beach

6th edition was held at south beach, so sunlight and a spacious layout were very nice. 39,000 visitors attended this year including many collectors, curators, and international museum professionals.

I found the Gallérie International which presents performing artists got my attention even though they didn't show anything in their both beside the list.

SCOPE, Miami Beach

The 17th edition of SCOPE Miami Beach was held at the sands of Ocean Drive and 8th Street. Featuring 140 International Exhibitors from 25 countries and 60 cities. SCOPE Miami Beach was poised to lead the charge for the emerging contemporary art market.

Art Miami & Context

Celebrating its 28^th edition, Art Miami kicked off Miami Art Week, where it held its reign as the leading international contemporary and modern art fair. Along with sister fair CONTEXT Art Miami at Water Front. The two fairs welcomed more than 80,000 attendees, and more than 15,000 guests to the VIP Preview. Multiple dealers participating in Art Basel were in attendance during the Black Car.

Design Miami

I could see many galleries from the "Salon: art and design" in NY, but how they presented the show was very different. I could say the Salon show was more sophisticated, but Design Miami is more innovate and creative.

FOAM Miami

First edition, 25 galleries were participated. I could see many nice decorative art works. The location was across street from the Art Basel (Miami Convention Center).

Pulse Miami Beach

Over 70 Galleries from across five continents participated. I attended VIP Preview Brunch. It was located in Indian Beach, Miami Beach. Bloody Mary was a great idea for Brunch. Many fun and interesting art pieces were presented as well. It was a most fun art fair including location and how they presented the fair.

Nada, Miami

NADA is geared toward a wide range of people. In Miami, NADA is an alternative platform, selling contemporary art at lower price points than the Art Basel fairs and often showcasing the “newest of the new” and the sometimes re-discovered. It is art from the past, present and future. I really enjoyed it.

Miami Art Basel

Art Basel’s 16th edition in Miami Beach, this year's show saw the debut of a new floor plan and show design, which was widely praised by exhibitors and collectors alike. The show, whose Lead Partner is UBS, featured 268 premier galleries from 32 countries, who presented outstanding works, ranging from Modern masterpieces to contemporary painting, sculpture, performance, photography, works on paper and film – some of which were created specifically for the fair. Across the five show days, the fair attracted an attendance of over 82,000, including influential collectors, directors, curators, trustees and patrons of leading international museums and institutions.

Fair

The first alternative, non-commercial, contemporary art fair featuring public works and surprise performances by some of the world’s most iconic and trailblazing women artists such as Yoko Ono, Guerrilla Girls, Pia Camil, Jillian Mayer, Juana Valdes and Micol Hebron, among others.

It was small but very different from most of other fairs. It was held at Brickell City Centre, Miami Downtown. I could feel how big Miami art week is in Miami.

Aqua

13 editions was held in the Aqua Hotel with 52 Galleries which made the art fair more unique and fun, but I couldn't find much different art works. But if you are looking for a fun opening, please check it out.

about Miami

It was a very unique city. I could see many Art Deco Buildings, many colorful lighting on the buildings at night, and many Spanish speaking people. So there are quite good Spanish cuisines. Wynwood Art & Miami Design District are nice to check it out...
