In this post we visit Art Miami, Aqua Art, Context, Miami Project, Pulse and Untitled for a look at a range of paintings. If there's one thing I could say about painting at the fairs is that there's no one direction. It's probably more skewed to abstraction, but perhaps that's my own bias. Still, as I mentioned in the previous post, I tried to step outside my comfort zone to show you as wide a range as possible. In posts later this week and through the end of the month, I'll have a short report on small paintings, and I'll give you a taste of the materiality I saw--wax, textile materials, foam, stuff of all kinds--along with some of the quirky elements that popped up. Brains, for instance. And something I saw more of than at other fairs: installations of multiples. But let me offer this caveat: Any coverage of any fair--and especially many of them taking place simultaneously--is a job for many critics and commenters, so I urge you to read up: The New York Times, The Art Newspaper, Hyperallergic, Art Fag City, and anything else that seems pertinent. OK, allons-y.
