New Year, New art:SAGE Resolutions

Happy New Year!

I know, I know, it's a little delayed. However, there is good reason for that. Why, you may ask? Well, this year started out with a bang for me.

For starters, I became the editor and remained a contributing writer for Berlin Art Link. If you haven't taken the time to look into Berlin Art Link then you are missing out on having the facts on the Berlin art scene at your fingertips. If you want to find out more about what Berlin Art Link is, I will have an interview posted later this month.

In other great news, I was hired for a temporary position at the Nasher Sculpture Center. The Nasher is one of my favorite museums in Dallas both because of it's amazing collection and because of the wonderful architecture of the building and sculpture garden. The building and garden were designed by Renzo Piano and Peter Walker, respectively. Renzo Piano also happened to design the Fondation Beyeler in Basel.

I am also settling into living in the United States again after being away for nearly three years. It is kind of exciting "discovering" Dallas again. So much has changed, especially in the arts. So I plan to focus the month of February on the renovation of the arts district and the proliferation of the art scene in Dallas.

Be on the lookout for these and all other posts in the future!

Take some time to enjoy family, food, and if you can, some art!

All the Best,

Recap: Art Basel Miami

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post, but in the meantime I have made the move across the ocean back to Texas. After a short reunion (and break) for the Thanksgiving holiday, it was off to Miami for the most important collection of art fairs in North America.

There were many things going on and I took in a lot of art. So, in this post, I will just very quickly try to recap the central fair Art Basel Miami, the sister counterpart to Art Basel.

The main event was at the convention center in South Beach. Much like those I have described for Basel, Berlin, and Turin, the fair is a winding labyrinth of white wall gallery sets. There were many images caught my attention. Too many to show in a few blogs. I also noticed, perhaps because of my personal interest in the area, that the Latin American community is showing up more and more at these fairs. Enjoy!

If you would like to know more about the events in Miami, check out my collaborative article on Berlin Art Link. Where I recently became the editor, so keep checking out the site to keep up with the emerging Berlin art scene.
