Attention for Mark Mulroney's work in our PULSE booth!

SHOUT OUT to the following sources and publications for their mention of Mark Mulroney's work in Mixed Greens' PULSE booth:

JUXTAPOZ: Art Basel 2012

Laura Roughneen over at Art Market Monitor included a photo of our booth as a personal highlight for her. Here's her interview with fair director Cornell DeWitt.

Art Daily shares the good news: a sold out booth!

Art Fag City predicted that the cowboys and "manginas" might make for a tough sell...thankfully, the fair proved hugely successful.

Interview with Fecal Face.

Miami RECAP Part 2

More pics from the fairs:

UNTITLED


This fair surely wins for exhibitor experience--can you imagine standing in your booth all day with those views??


Some standouts from the fair were Martin Roth's seeded rugs, and


Patrick Jacobs' inset wall works, both at POOL Gallery's booth.


Franklin Evans' trompe l'oeil paintings at Federico Luger's booth.

NADA


There were some noticeable trends at this fair, including stripey, loose-geometric paintings in bold color patterns. This is Yui Yaegashi at Misako & Rosen's booth.


And works/collages on found paper materials. This is Martin Neumaier at Parisa Kind's booth.


Color was everywhere at CANADA's booth.


And the pool party was one big blow-up-doll fest...


Complete with floating cinder blocks.


MIAMI PROJECT


GREAT cafe / outdoor lounge area.


There was an artist producing an intricate colored sand drawing near the cafe's entrance--I watched nervously as at least one attendee trampled through it unaware.


Spacious. Lots of light. Not too much foot traffic.

DESIGN MIAMI


This was my first time visiting Design Miami, and I'd happily visit again. Here's the impressive AUDI Robot making carbon fiber chairs.


And this stunning presentation by Perrier-Jouet: "Lost Time" by Glithero is an installation of hanging strands of nickel beads.


ART BASEL


Galerie Micky Schubert, from Berlin--lovely, minimal booth. A breath of fresh air amongst all of the craziness.


And lastly, my Eve and Adele sighting. My art fairing is complete.

HDB sending pics from Miami!

Heather sent some preliminary photos of her Miami adventures--looks like the Untitled Fair wins thus far for view!


View from the food court at Untitled.


Ahhhhh, a wide open tent. Reminds me a little of FRIEZE NY, no?

lovely. Thanks HDB for the pics!

First Reviews in on Pulse Fair

Read about Paddy Johnson's PULSE experience last night at the opening reception (benefiting Lotus House).

and a SHOUT OUT to Art Fag City for the installation shot and kind mention of Mixed Greens' booth (featuring work by Mark Mulroney).


AND Artinfo.com's rundown here. SHOUTOUT to them for mentioning Jenna Spevack's installation in the PULSE Projects section.

Miami install

Steven is installing our PULSE Miami booth while Mark Mulroney works on his site-specific mural. We're nearly there!

Here's more reading on Miami:

Lehman Maupin talks about their Miami preparations.

Yet another Map service outlining the many events, art fair locations, etc., etc.

Some good advice on surviving "fairtigue" and keeping your FOMO in check.

It's that time again (prepping for Miami)

I googled "prepping for Miami" and was ASTOUNDED that this lovely assemblage from a 2010 posting on The Pit came up 1st in the Google image search. LOVE.

We are nearly there, folks. It's almost Miami Art Fair week. For some of you, I imagine this prep time involves juice cleansing, spray tanning and stock liquidating. For the rest of us, it involves reading. And for everyone, some serious list-making.

Mixed Greens is presenting new work by Mark Mulroney in our booth at PULSE (booth D-201). I'm still waiting for both Art Fag City and Boyd Level to put out their super handy Miami maps/lists. In the meantime, be sure to add the PULSE Art Fair (@ the Ice Palace) to your list of "must sees". We hope to see you there!

WHAT I'M READING UP ON:

Jerry Saltz ordering a faux Richter @ NYMAG. How much you wanna bet some sort of station will be set up on Collins where you can order your own...

The Art Loss Register. Do you think ALR will have some sort of booth at Basel? to advertise it's services?

Bob Dylan's latest show at Gagosian (Capital New York). But "this time, without the controversy." So the controversy will be no controversy? Intriguing.

That Art Fair on the Yacht: SeaFair. SeaSick.

ArtFagCity keeps us on top of What Adam Lindemann is doing in Miami this year. Because this year (unlike last year) he's probably going. For reals.

belated Friday Fun Day

Thank you Chuka for pointing out the "best thing I've read today":

World’s Least Fun Person Removing One-of-a-Kind Slide From Apartment He Just Bought over at NYMag.

I'm guessing that's a Carsten Höller slide. And if it's not, it still does the trick of making visitors (even those in-the-art-know) wonder to themselves "is that a Carsten Höller slide?", which is, in my book, victory enough.

Happy Weekend, dear readers. For those of you in Washington D.C., be sure to check out the (e)merge fair! S&M will be there all weekend presenting work by Conor Backman. SHOUT OUT to the Washington City Paper for their nice write-up of Conor's work there.

The experience of Frieze NYC 2012

The ferry ride!


The water views! The beautiful weather!


The open bar at SoHo House!

Loved. It.
And the rest was a lot like an art fair.

Frieze is for hipsters...or not

Frieze New York seems to be catering to a very specific crowd:

FOOD: by Frankies Spuntino, Fat Radish, Roberta's, and obvi Intelligensia coffee...this is nice mix of various hipster vibes: LES/Bushwick/Venice, CA.

ALCOHOL: by The Standard Biergarten. Oooh, feels like laid-back, pre-summer prepping at a Meatpacking venue. Very casual. No signs of rose' here.

HOTELS: Wythe and Hotel Americano are both high on the suggested list. What this says about the visitor: "not afraid to stay off the beaten path" a/k/a "I have a car service lined up for the weekend." On the other hand, I like the rather affordable hotels included on this list.

ENTERTAINMENT: The Mulberry sponsored VIP dinner will feature a performance by Lana Del Rey. This is a nice pairing of high and low.

TICKETS: But can the hipsters come out to Randall's Island when the tickets are $40??? I see that the reduced rate is $25, but still!
