I Lived Through Miami.
By Kim Hastreiter


I know, I know, I've been a terribly delinquent blogger! But I just could not bring myself to start writing about Art Basel Miami this time around. It was all so insane. Overloaded circuits on art, parties, branding, hustling, selling, buying, schmoozing. We pitched a tent at The Raleigh and I commissioned the artists of Creative Growth Art Center (a program for mentally and physically handicapped adults in Oakland California) to reinterpret hot artworks by trendy artists. The work was fantastic. (You can see the appropriated John Currin paintings above and Kara Walker paintings below.)

This posting was enchanting --. I wished I could have seen all the artwork. AND WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA TO PUT THIS PROJECT TOGETHER--kind of art-like and magic in it's conception in the first place!
