Public Art: Street Art at Art Basel Miami 2007

Art being made in the moment took place on a series of corners in downtown Miami at 2007’s Miami Art Basel (NW 2nd Ave & NW 23rd St).  As street artists, graffiti writers and muralists continue to form alliances across the country and around the globe their presence is being felt not only at home on street corners in various hoods, but collectively on the ubiquitous art fair circuit that is now de rigueur for participants in the production of the aesthetic culture of globalization.  An organized effort was put forth through the Primary Flight Site Specific Street Level Art Installation at Miami Art Basel 2007.  Energy, life and love vibrated off the ladders and streets where artists like El Mac, Lady Pink and Futura were at work.
