Art Basel Miami Beach, the annual international art show, began its eighth incarnation today at the Miami Beach Convention Center and will run through this Sunday, December 6. The selection committee chose hundreds of galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa to show works by thousands of 20th- and 21st-century artists. The show has different sectors, including recent artworks, curated exhibitions, performance and art in public spaces.
The show’s layout has been revamped this year to allow for larger spaces and a better experience for visitors. Art Positions, including projects by younger artists and galleries, has been moved from its former location to the center of the Miami Beach Convention Center. In addition to rearranging the floorplan and moving sections around, Art Basel has created a new oceanfront area. Situated in Collins Park, it is “a platform for virtually all of Art Basel Miami Beach’s cultural programming.” The oceanfront area, designed by Los Angeles artist Pae White, is free of charge, and visitors to it can attend discussion panels, special events and programs. The Oceanfront Café also offers food and drink throughout the event.
