Aqua Hotel Opening 2008; Miami, FL

Michael Dee's glass sculpture and Michael Reafsnyder's painting in Western Projects' booth

Aqua Hotel, the South Beach branch of the Aqua fair, delivered the goods. With exciting exhibitors like Cinders Gallery, New Image Art and White Walls (to name a few), the fair presented a collection of young talents and had a shamelessly trendy aesthetic. Highlights include: William Powhida, Brian Chippendale, Paul Wackers and a seemingly endless supply of Campari.
