Last night’s 55th annual Grammy Awards was truly a night to remember, but here are our two favorite moments of the night.
Rihanna showed up in a stunning bold red gown by Azzedine Alaia. We can’t get enough of the color and the amazing train on the dress. Not to mention her gorgeous her ombré hair!
Justin Timberlake, who hasn’t released an album in seven years, gave a showstopping performance of his new single “Suit and Tie” with Jay-Z. JT looked as classy as ever! After the Grammy Awards performance, JT gave a post-Grammy at a sold out concert at the Palladium AND released a new track, Mirrors, from his new album “The 20/20 Project,” which is set to release on March 19. We cannot wait to hear the rest of the album!
It’s the first week of December, and that means it’s time for Miami Art Week, several days of high profile exhibitions, special events, and art sales in South Beach.
At the center of Art Week each year is Art Basel Miami Beach, which is celebrating its 10th year. Art Basel started in Switzerland in 1970 before expanding to the U.S. and quickly establishing itself as the art event of the year. With over 260 galleries showing work by more than 2,000 artists, this is Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, but for the art set. The show is expecting 46,000 curators, private collectors, tourists, and celebs. Previous attendees have included everyone from Brad Pitt to Jay-Z and Beyonce.
If you can’t make the event, Art Basel has put out a mobile app where you can browse galleries and selected works on an interactive map. You can also follow along on Twitter with the hashtag #artbasel or catch up on the Miami Herald’s Art Basel section.
As Art Basel has continued to increase its profile, so too has Miami itself as one of America’s premiere art cities. Now in addition to Art Basel, more than 15 additional specialty shows come to Miami each year to take part in Art Week. Our good friend Marco Zamora will be showing work in the Mallick Williams booth at Scope, a contemporary art showcase open from November 29th to December 4th.
Marco uses a pen and brush technique to create images of urban landscapes and the people who live in them, influenced by Los Angeles, skate culture, and people’s “awkard moments”. Marco has shown work all over the U.S. and also designed advertising for Vans.
