Scope’s Circus: The Good and The Bad

by Art Fag City on December 10, 2008

Scope entrance, Photo AFC Scope has a lot of problems, but their inability to distinguish between good freak art and bad gives them a reputation as the art circus we reluctantly visit.  Friendswithyou Fun House for example, this year’s contribution to the fair’s trademark exceedingly high noise level, fills the back end of the tent […]

Art Fag City at ArtReview.com: Tepid Show at Aqua Wynwood

by Art Fag City on December 8, 2008

Hosfelt Gallery at Aqua Wynwood. Photo AFC My post on Aqua Wynwood is now up on ArtReview.com. The teaser below followed by a few images. I’ve seen enough contemporary Miami fairs this week to safely place Aqua Wynwood in the upper middle half of the lot. That Aqua Wynwood doesn’t compete with the top-rated NADA, a […]

Random Miami Notes

by Art Fag City on December 7, 2008

A view of the beach from the Ritz Carton. Photo AFC Aqua and Scope reviews are in the queue, but in the meantime, a few art fair observations. Overall the hotel as a venue seems to be dwindling in popularity, a positive fair trend. This is pure speculation, but Art Basel seems to be moving […]

Image in the center: Feng Zhengjie, China 2005 – No. 26, silkscreen edition of 200, at Exhibition A.

Don’t Miss The Station!

by Art Fag City on December 7, 2008

Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe’s Meth lab, Photo AFC Readers who haven’t seen The Station need to do so before it closes.  Curated by Shamim M. Momin (Co-Curator of the 2004 and 2008 Whitney Biennial) and artist and curator Nate Lowman, the space itself remains raw and largely untouched.   A sandpit in the front foyer […]

Pulse Maintains A Little Cheese

by Art Fag City on December 6, 2008

Jay Critchley, 21 Gun Salute, Freight and Volume. I wish Pulse Miami looked a little bit more like its New York incarnation because it would likely be a lot less cheesy.   I suppose this is overkill but I visited the fair three times this week to be thorough, and each time I went I […]

A Quiet Year For Art Basel

by Art Fag City on December 4, 2008

Art Basel, 2008, Photo AFC Will Art Basel Miami remain the same without Keanu Reeves and 100 pound plastic trophy wives in stiletto heals? I haven’t seen any movie stars or body modification victims this year (though I’m told they are here), which almost seems a shame since I wasn’t overly moved one way or […]

Photo AFC I’m stretched for time today so I won’t be posting as much as I’d like.  I did however manage to take this *brilliant* shot with my iphone yesterday while watching Quintron and Miss Pussycat perform until the wee hours of the morning.  Not to overstate […]

by Art Fag City on July 24, 2008

Sorry for the shitty photo. Photo AFC 303 Gallery moved into a much larger location on 547 West 21st street, and christened it last night with sausage, ice cream, and screwdrivers! Karen Kilimnik baked the best shortbread cookies I’d had all year, Rodney Graham provided the playlist, and Mary Heilmann put together a selection of […]

Thursday Night Openings in Chelsea

by Art Fag City on July 11, 2008

The bell of the ball: movin’cool air conditioner at Jack Shainman. Photo AFC Like many art objects, the aesthetic value of a Movin Cool air conditioner can be viewed in direct proportion with its functionality. Needless to say, I think it’s gorgeous. It also aided the viewing of other works in Jack Shainman’s exhibition Unbalance […]
