I'll have to wait to write a longer post until tomorrow but I just got back from Miami Basel on Monday and I have to say it was tons of fun. I thought there was a chance this year would be a bust because of or economic condition but I don't think it was. Sure it wasn't completely without fault-I missed the pulse fair this year and waisted my time at Photo Miami which was by far the most depressing fair I attended by far.

In Sunday's New York Times Travel Section there is a article that not only got Miami's art world right but mentioned some friends of mine. Have a look The Miami Art Scene: The Beach Party Moves Indoors. Congratulations Jen Stark, Frank Wick, Scott Murray at Twenty Twenty getting a huge write up, Naomi Fisher and Jim Drain and many others. Its a great write up that is surprisingly on point with where the spots are while avoiding all the South Beach clichés of the standard Miami Travel article.
I have been meaning to write about Art Basel Miami Beach 2008 here since I got back on Monday but I have been neck deep in finals so that will have to wait until Wednesday. I will however post a interesting interview I just happened upon (see above).
