Wynwood Walls
2520 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33127. Conceived by the renowned community revitalizor and placemaker Tony Goldman in 2009. He was looking for something big to transform the warehouse district of Wynwood, and he arrived at a simple idea: "Wynwood's large stock of warehouse buildings, all with no windows, would be my giant canvases to bring to them the greatest street art ever seen in one place." Starting with the 25th-26th Street complex of six separate buildings, his goal was to create a center where people could gravitate to and explore, and to develop the area's pedestrian potential.

SPECIAL ART ATTRACTIONS & EVENTS FOR 2017

If you know of EVENTS RELATED TO MIAMI ART WEEK, please let us know details so we can add them. info@art-collecting.com. No new information will be added to our guides after Saturday, December 2nd. We do our best to provide you with current and accurate information about the art fairs and Miami Art Week. Also, you might want to check directly with the event organizers, art fairs or galleries if you have specific questions about programs or events. Some interesting events are listed below, not in any particular order.






MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT
Located a few blocks north of Wynwood. The MDD has been growing the past few years and is now considered a must see during Miami Art Week. The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami (ICA Miami) and the de la Cruz Collection are located in this district. You'll find several art galleries and lots of luxury brand fashion and design stores - many of them feature special art displays during Miami Art Week. Craig Robins is the driving force behind the growth of Miami Design District and his collection of contemporary art and design can be found here. Look for Buckminster Fuller's Fly's Eye Dome. Click here for a map of the Miami Design District.

JEFFREY DEITCH AND LARRY GAGOSIAN PRESENT: ABSTRACT/NOT ABSTRACT
Miami Design District, M Building, 191 NE 40th Street, Miami 33137
December 5th to December 9th from 11:00am to 8:00pm and Sunday, December 10th from Noon to 6:00pm. Abstract/Not Abstract is the third thematic exhibition to be presented in the Miami Design District during Art Basel Miami Beach by Larry Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch. The exhibition will explore contemporary approaches to abstraction in painting. Abstract painting is one of the great innovations of modernism which continues to inspire and challenge artists. To make a fresh abstract painting today, following all the remarkable achievements of the School of Paris and New York School, is daunting and challenging. Yet through the use of varied technologies, techniques, and approaches, this generation of artists continues to make astonishing and complex work with fresh innovations of the abstract tradition. Abstract/Not Abstract will include work by the greatest artists working today who redefine abstraction for our time.




WHITE CUBE SPECIAL EXHIBITION
Miami Design District, 3802 NE 1st Avenue, #109, Miami 33137
December 5th - 10th. White Cube presents an off-site project by Ibrahim Mahama, one of the most exciting artists to emerge from Ghana in recent years. Known for his large-scale installations incorporating jute sacks previously used to transport cocoa beans and charcoal, which are stitched together and draped over architectural structures, the project will feature Non-Orientable Nkansa, a towering sculpture comprised of hundreds of 'shoemaker boxes'. These small wooden objects are made from structural materials found in the city and used to contain tools for polishing and repairing shoes, which were then obtained by the artist and his collaborators through a process of negotiation and exchange. Gathered together here in a single, monumental unit, the containers are crammed with other re-purposed items such as heels, hammers and needles, all of which are part of Mahama’s ongoing inquiry into the life of materials and their dynamic potential. Accompanying this major work are a series of jute sack paintings which serve as 'extracts' of the larger architectural interventions.

COS X STUDIO SWINE PRESENT "NEW SPRING"
A large scale exhibition taking place throughout Miami Art Week designed by London-based design duo Studio Swine (Super Wide Interdisciplinary New Explorers) formed by Japanese architect Azusa Murakami and British artist, Alexander Groves. New Spring, an interactive multisensory installation which won the award for Most Engaging Exhibition during Salone del Mobile in Milan, will be an official Satellite of the design fair and will be reconceived to a greater scale, in a bright, light-filled environment designed by Studio Swine, housed in a historic art deco building (1415 Euclid Avenue, Miami Beach). To celebrate the installation in their Miami Design District boutique (3915 NE 1ST Avenue, Miami) COS will screen a short film of the project within the Design District store. COS support the arts through collaborations with established and emerging artists, galleries and creative studios. Installation be open December 6-10 at 1415 Euclid Avenue, Miami Beach.
