It was my first time at
Art Basel and I have to say that it was so much fun. As I was waiting for the
doors to open I notice the people around me,
most of them looked very refined (some looked like I don't know what
they were thinking), but soon I started to feel like I belonged to the art
world. Here are some of my inside notes on different topics:
Fashion
As a fashion blogger, I
was very excited to see what everyone will be wearing to Art Basel. I was
expecting a lot of cool items, very trendy pieces and lots of stylish people. I
was surprised that most of the people were very well dressed but nothing as "creative" as I expected. I did capture a very stylish girl, but in
general I was not so impressed.
Design Miami
My first stop was at Design
Miami. Galleries were invited to exhibit exceptional design objects from the
advent of modernism to the present day. Very unconventional pieces, unique
styles and inspirational forms it's what I found at this exhibition.
Art Basel – Convention
Center
The first thing that came
to my mind once I entered Art Basel was that I was entering a big giant museum.
I felt a little bit overwhelmed, sometimes because I didn't know where to
start and other times because I didn't know what I was supposed to do. But then
I started walking around and started to see pieces that caught my attention… in
a good way. Most of the exhibitions were outrageous and didn't look like
"art" at all to me, but in general I found very inspiring pieces.
It was a little bit funny for me to
look at people contemplating these pieces of art and trying to explain to themselves
and to everyone the powerful meaning behind each piece.
In general it was a great
experience. It was nice to see what it's going on inside the minds of very
creative people and see their imagination come to life. I definitely want to go next year, again.
