ART BASEL - PRIMARY FLIGHT - DECEMBER 4-7
_____________________________________________________________________________
For those of you who haven't been to Art Basel, you should stop everything you are doing, and book a ticket to go down there immediately. Art Basel is the pinnacle of art appreciation. During art basel, there are literally thousands of artists and galleries all densely packed into a small area.
This year, I have three things going on down there. First is Primary Flight. This is the second year for Primary Flight. Primary Flight goes on for the duration of Art Basel. Read below for more information PRIMARY FLIGHT : BACK TO BASICS
DECEMBER / 4th THROUGH THE 7th / 2008
BLACKBOOKS in association with SPINELLO GALLERY, LANDSEA VENTURES, and SABOTAZ are proud to present PRIMARY FLIGHT 2008 -.
Once again graff writers and street artists hit the Wynwood streets in Miami’s second installment of the internationally acclaimed, site specific, street level, mural installation. This years exhibition features 40 of today’s most respected graffiti artists local and abroad, curated by BOOKSIIII, Lynn Yohana Howard, Logan Hicks, and Anthony Spinello. Maps outlining the street installation will be available for download online at primaryflight.com and on location in the wynwood streets. Graffiti has come a long way, from the back seats of police cars to gracing the walls of the worlds greatest collections and museums. Primary Flight’s original concept and soul purpose is to provide these artists with outdoor, concrete wall space, allowing them free reign to install their art as they see fit - back into graffiti’s original environment - in what is arguably its most appealing format.
