We came down to Florida for two shows: Art Basel Miami Beach and Design Miami. Or so I thought. At the end of our four-day trip, I could totally identify with the woman I heard wailing: “It’s almost over, and I haven’t seen everything yet!” Of course, we’d seen a lot, but with the proliferation of art and design exhibits—Pulse, Scope, NADA, Aqua, Photo MIAMI, Zones, Casa Décor, etc., etc., etc.—there was no way to do it all. Which got me thinking about multiplicity. Often, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. With that in mind, take a look at some of the installations and pieces that struck our fancy…
Steve Powers’ Signarama, a collaboration with Studio Gangster, presented by Deitch Projects and Paper Magazine.


and…
An untitled installation of line drawings by French artists Jean-Francois Moriceau and Petra Mrzyk at French Kissing in the U.S.A, an exhibit of work from the emerging art scene in France

And, what we saw in Miami makes me think of:
Barry McGee, another of Jeffrey Deitch’s artists

and…
Urs Fischer’s Jet Set Lady, a tower of drawings installed to stunning effect at Franois Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi in Venice
