about the whole "art" thing

everybody likes art right? The whole problem is finding a way to tap in, and it almost always feels like the people of the art world aren't necessarily interested in making it easily available. Sure, the first Friday Art-Walks are a great way to start, but what about the rest of the month? To me it's all to much especially during Art Basel when yes, the very best in the world soak up our sun, and our local market is flooded with foreigners.
Luckily, we have an insider here at miami nice who tips us normal folk off to whats going on in the world of pastels, mixed media and site specific performances. Katia works at the Bas Fisher Invitational, the gallery that hosted the "Weird Miami" exhibit we covered over the summer, and she gave us the scoop on what the staples on the local scene are up to amidst the madness:

  • Jim Drian is in a solo show at locust projects that looks amazing! It's called "Saturday's Ransom" we had DASH students come help with the walls. 

  • At Gallery Diet there is a solo show for Abby Manock that should be great. I'm biased and think everything will be awesome because I work with most of these artists and at Gallery Diet

  • The Bas Fisher invitational booth will be selling ten print box set with artists prints by Olaf Bruening , Jim Drain, Naomi Fisher to name a few. 
  • Gallery Diet having a exhibition booth at Pulse at the Ice Palace. 
  • There is an exhibition at the delacruz collection for Christy Gast.
