This past week-end was fairly busy for us. Last week started the parade of art shows going on in Miami. Art Basel is the big one that everyone knows about but there are many other shows going on around town.
Saturday we decided to check out some of the smaller showings going on in the Design District. Parking was a lot easier than I thought it would be. We walked around Midtown Mall taking pictures of all of Romero Brittos sculptures around the area on display. We ended up checking out the Scope event. Tons of great work all over. My favorite was a display of all black background with a silver shark in different positions. They also had two televisions set up in a black casing that had the shark done in CGI swimming around. I wanted to ask what type of set they had inside because it looked perfect and the blacks were so intense and the shark looked so sharp and smooth. When you pay for Scope you also get into Art Asia since they were connected. Both were extremely enjoyable. I left extremely excited for Miami because the turnout was great and tons of great work was being shown. The best part was that parking was only $1. I’m sure if we had gone to Art Basel it would be extremely crowded and easily $10 for parking. Christine and her boyfriend Adam came into town later on in the evening and we went to Black Sheep Lounge with Derek to check out Venetian Snares. The show was overall enjoyable but will have to say I had greater appreciation for Venetian Snares because the others who performed before him. His set at PS14 earlier in the year was better in comparison I’d say. This was the first event that I know of where the venue has charged. I hope this doesn’t become a trend with the venue.
Sunday we ended up going back with Christine & Adam to the Design District to check out Fountain. I thought some of the art was impressive but a lot of the messages that were trying to be put across annoyed me. Then again these are artist and live a completely different life than I do. Gives you a different perspective on how some people view things.
It was more than usual eventful week-end. Extremely disappoint in Dallas losing last night. It was such a close game and then to lose it all in the 4th.
Today I decided to freeze my Warhammer Online account. I enjoy playing it don’t get me wrong but sucks too much of my time away. I think I’ll be getting back into console games which are much easier to pick up and put down. Plus our good friends in Palm Coast just got a PS3 which means ppl to play with online!
