Scope, Miami’s first alternative art fair, returns for a fifth straight
year to continue its mandate of challenging passive viewing by giving
visitors a view of the contemporary art world available nowhere else.
Scope Miami 2006 is poised to redefine the conventions of an art fair
with its new 40,000-square-foot, artist designed pavilion located in
Roberto Clemente Park in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Art
Just blocks from the Rubell Family Art Collection, the Margulies
Collection, and Miami’s leading galleries, Scope Miami’s ninety
international exhibitors uphold Scope’s unique tradition of one-person
and thematic group shows presented alongside museum-quality
programming, collector tours, screenings, and special events. The fair opens daily at 10 AM. Scope Miami 2006 is proud to welcome Flamingo
South Beach as its Platinum Sponsor.
Scope Miami’s new monumental pavilion—comprising shipping containers,
tents, and art projects—was conceived, designed, and constructed by
Scope founder and president Alexis Hubshman, architect Charles Mallea,
and expert tentmaker and owner of Event Star, Alain Perez. The
experience of the fair begins outside the pavilion where visitors are
reduced to a childlike scale by Agustina Wood-Gate’s Where the Wild
Things Grow, a large-scale urban garden of 1,000 waterproof, handmade,
green fabric cones. This veritable meadow of six-foot-tall blades of
grass leads to the Sanchez Brothers’ Between Life and Death: inside of
a real crashed bus, holographic projections of celestial visions
recreate passengers’ near-death experiences.
Visitors then enter the pavilion and interact with [PAM], The
Perpetual Art Machine, a video exhibition organized by Lee Wells,
Raphaele Shirley, Chris Borkowski, and Aaron Miller. Fairgoers can
choose which videos to project on cinema-sized screens in the main
foyer from over 600 videos from sixty countries, effectively becoming
part of the curatorial process. The [PAM] exhibition leads to Tomas
Rivas’s Unobtrusive, a peeling and crumbling semi-circular façade made
of sheetrock and wallpaper. The piece exposes how art fairs, the
dominant form of exhibiting contemporary art, are, by nature, temporary
and transitory, and serves as a fitting final step of the initiation
into the fair.
In addition to its ninety exhibitors from fourteen countries, Scope
Miami 2006 presents more than twenty-five special projects including
performances and screenings. Fairgoers can relax and indulge at Rodney Dickson's Queen Bee Snake Bar and Tea Room, a Vietnamese-style installation and bar located next
to the café and VIP Lounge, enjoy a Grolsch SwingTop, or listen to
Scope-Sound, an original sound installation by Derek Cotè sponsored by
Land Rover.
