As I stepped up to the interior design space on 40th St, my eyes were flooded with images of smiling skull decals floating on the windows-as if the aura of Alexander McQueen had taken over the store; or so we hoped. In the midst of the Art Basel buzz, the three-year long collaboration with McQueen, known for his eccentric silhouettes and imaginative designs, arrives at The Rug Company in the Miami Design District. Jonathan Day, a senior salesperson, said, “He wasn’t... Read More →

![[Art Basel] Art Makes a Tent a Home in Haiti](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/base-paint-tents-290x234.jpg)
Almost a year after the earthquake that devastated Haiti many have long forgotten those who are still living amid rubble of what used to be their homes and communities. Bring together philanthropy and art Fundacion Manos Del Sur and Step By Step Foundation have come together to present “The Base Paint Tents†for Art Basel 2010.

The New York City street art movement from 1972-1975 remained largely undiscovered by the mass media. Aerosol spray paint filled walls, subways and cityscapes with the names of the street artist pioneers. Their rebellious self expression will resurge during Miami’s Art Basel 2010 in the form of “Hyperbolic Aerosolic: The Roots of New York City Underground Art†in conjunction with Tony Goldman’s Wynwood Walls project. See the earliest... Read More →
In case you’re thinking the Hello Kitty exhibit is Basel’s most outrageous event this year, think again. Art Basel truly offers versatility for every scrutinizing eye with the premiere of Alexander McQueen’s highly anticipated rug collection. Rugs? Yes, that’s right. This exhibit will probably be the closest any average fashion devotee will get to the infamous designer’s work-now made haute couture legend... Read More →
Photo by Jacqueline Soir If you have seen Nicole Soden while on one of your many adventures around the 305 (She is a staple at The Vagabond and recently, La Fee Verte.), you might have been bowled over by her beauty. (Take MY word for it, she’s so hot that you could bake cookies on her shadow.) But don’t you dare disregard this dame as just another pretty dime. Multifaceted and creatively ferocious, Ms. Soden is a dancer, performer, curator, sculptor and a force to be reckoned with. And... Read More →
![[Art Basel] Invader Joins the Wynwood Walls](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/2010Miami-UrbanAlchemists-Invader-ArtBasel.jpg)
Everyone should be familiar with the Wynwood Walls and if you have to ask then I hope that you will take heed this Art Basel and learn yourself something. A project that began in 2009 as an open-air art park has involved into a who’s who gallery of artists and wow-factors. Having been provided a primed wall as a canvas the artists brought their own flavor to their creations and left us with a taste of their workmanship in the original 12 murals. For Art Basel 2010 the pioneering... Read More →

![[Art Basel] Hello Kitty Celebrates 50 Years](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/HelloKitty-OBEY-290x290.jpg)
What better way to celebrate 50 years of Sanrio than by brining the most famous cartoon kitty of cute to the holy grail of art fairs in Miami? Okay, maybe the two don’t scream holy matrimony… but should make for an intriguing site to see. The anniversary celebration “Small Gift†makes a stop in Miami with the Sanrio art exhibit and pop-up store. The installation takes over a 8,000 square foot custom space in the Wynwood Arts District featuring... Read More →
![[Art Basel] OHWOW Never Fails Us](http://www.antisteez.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/friends-with-you-rainbow-city-290x290.jpg)
During Art Basel be sure to make your way over to OHWOW and friends. There will be four events going on simultaneously putting your Art Basel schedule through the wringer. Be sure to somehow wedge these in as they’re well worth it. Going against the grain is always our motto and were glad OHWOW agrees. Take note at opening reception dates and times for lots of shmoozing opportunities. Art Basel just isn’t a world renowned art extravaganza without the parties! – OHWOW... Read More →
With Miami’s art community continuously growing like an Obama Chia Pet or like those little slimy dinosaurs you drop in a two-liter bottle of water (those things were always gross to me), it was only a matter of time before that dinosaur outgrew the bottle and started spilling into other areas outside of your typical brush and canvas or photography and performance art expectations. The tentacles of Miami’s network of talented individuals are starting to reach out and plant seeds (or... Read More →
