Marc Trujillo: 2016 LA Art Show Notes
Inside a large art fair there’s a geographical slippage that you feel at some point, you could be in Miami, New York, Basel, or any number of large cities where these fairs which cull galleries from all over the world happen. Sort of like being in a casino, indoor mall or a sprawling space with…
Observations of the 2016 LA Art Show: Steve Grody
The L.A. Art Show is always a mixed bag, and a lot to visually chew through with not necessarily enough attention span to make through properly in one try. There is work that might have been seen as edgy if it were at least 40 years ago. There is work where clearly the artist has…

Tech Art steals the show at Miami Art Week 2015, by Michelle Berc
As a curator who has produced close to 100 art exhibits over the past fourteen years, looking at art and a lot of art has happened and continues to happen. I have to admit that I’m a bit jaded at times and it really takes a particular artistic execution to really capture my eye. When…
Best of Basel with Kasey Billitz of Miami Art Seen
As a native, I’ve had the pleasure of watching the city of Miami become transformed annually (and culturally as a whole), as a result of Art Basel, since it’s premiere in 2002.
