Kim Joon, Bird Land-Armani (detail), 2008

Just got this great summary from Artkrush who will be on the scene again this year bringing you all the goodness to be found. Be sure to keep checking back as the month develops…

"?Talk
of bursting bubbles and crashing markets has bled through the front
page and into the art sections of today's news. And so, as crates of
canvas arrive in Miami postmarked from around the world, the most
coveted position available in today's art world is that of the
spectator."

"Pockets will be substantially lighter at this year's Miami
Basel, but there will be no shortage of eye candy for those of us just
coming to look. As usual, Artkrush provides a tidy honor roll of our
personal favorites, with special attention paid to Art Basel Miami Beach, as well as Scope and Photo Miami contributor Julia Fullerton-Batten, a London photographer whose studies of adolescence picture girls looming larger than life, suspended in midair, and lost
in the uniform masses. Meanwhile, Artkrush editor Paul Laster connects with the Campana Brothers in Brazil to discuss the latest installment in their sci-fi furniture design series TransPlastic, included this year in Design Miami/. Across the bay from ABMB, we highlight the stylish counter-culture publications of
PictureBox — exhibiting at Nada Art Fair Miami — before leaving the Sunshine State altogether to review Sze Tsung Leong's photographs of Chinese suburbia in Los Angeles, and Roman Signer's slapstick videos in the Netherlands."
