It’s Vernissage and Media Reception day for Art Basel Miami Beach! And is CultureGrrl on the scene, to report to you on the VIP onslaught?
You know me better than that!
I am not going to see the “20 cutting-edge art galleries presenting projects in shipping containers”; I refuse to attend the opening-night concert with Iggy and the Stooges on the beach; I’m taking a pass on Terry Riley‘s infomercial, “Work in Progress: Herzog & de Meuron’s Miami Art Museum”; and I’m not even going to ogle the “exceptional pieces by both renowned artists and cutting-edge newcomers” displayed by an “exclusive selection of 200 leading art galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and South Africa.”
You’re going to be doing all that. You don’t need me doing it with you.
As for me, I’m staying home and sulking that I was not invited to any of these swell parties.
Could it be that people think CultureGrrl is no fun? Maybe I should attend the Dec. 9 self-flagellation panel, “Art Critics Criticizing Art Criticism.”
