Aqua Wynwood Opening in Miami

me, in Miami
So far, Aqua Wynwood, the gallery district location for the Aqua Art fair, has been the most impressive, slick and exciting fair we've seen. Having a definite West Coast aesthetic, although an extensive range of work, Aqua Wynwood is a [slightly overwhelming] maze of neon and big names. Rented year round by the Aqua fair, the space has been extremely well considered, and easy to move though. The opening featured outdoor live-painting and a theater for video work-something a temporary tent set-up just doesn't allow for. Also, it must be noted that we drank lots of Campari, thanks to the fair's sponsors.
