… and here some impressions from the miami “untitled”
Miami getting ready for the show!
On December 04th, the Art Basel Miami Beach opens and as early as the Dec. 02nd, there are countless smaller Miami Art Fairs throughout Miami and Miami Beach. Today we could see that -despite thanksgiving- many artists were still painting on the facades in the Wynwood art district. Miami in the Art-Rush. © B.G.
“The Divine Comedy: Heaven, Purgatory and Hell” revisted by Contemporary African Artists. We had very well perceived the exhibition poster from The Museum of Modern Art MMK in Frankfurt. It was still hanging there as we started our travel to Canada on the 20th of july 2014. In the weeks and months before our departure however, there was no time even thinking about cultural events. We had to prepair our vehicle and terminate all our personal and business stuff in Frankfurt.
Arrived in November in Savannah, we visited the SCAD Museum of Art – attracted by the great architecture of the building, consisting of an old train depot from 1853 combined with concrete and glass to a modern museum architecture in 2011. And we couldn’t believe it as the same exhibition poster welcomed us, which we had perceived in Frankfurt! Until the 25th of January to be seen in Savannah. Highly recommended! As indeed the whole city including some french restaurants like „Papillote“ at 218 W Broughton Street.
A tip for our RV colleagues: Two nights at the visitor center´s very central parking lot could be purchased for just $ 12. And don’t be confused by the signs that indicate the place must be cleared by 6 pm. © B.G.
in new york nothing is more constant than change, but chelsea is still the address for contemporary art galleries.
Actually new haven could also be named yale city, because these elite college continues to shape the cityscape not only in an architectural way. New haven has also a great museum (yale university art museum), where headless romans are displayed under the same roof as african- and contemporary art. This museum is a „must see“ in new haven and there is even no entrance fee. I was overwelmed by the artwork of jean-michel basquiat who passed away in the age of just 28 years. © n.g.
