I’m from San Diego and have been wanting to check out Miami, esp as I’ve gotten into some of the experimental edm coming out of South Florida.
I heard about art basel a while back and thought “that would be sick, I’d get to go visit Miami, check out some interesting art and hopefully catch a couple of fun shows.” It also happens on my bday (which made the idea seem even more fun), but I’ve been reading that event is actually kind of a shit show, pretentious, mucho faranduleo etc etc
is this true and if so, is there a way to do art Basel that‘s worth it, and wont wreck the bank (or feel like an eye roll parade)??
ig for a little more context, I’m pretty much average appreciator of art (in the sense that I like to experience art and let it move me, but would be lost if someone started to say something to me about abstract Impressionism). lmk what yall think, saludos!! #local source
