All the excitement about the visual arts during Basel can leave performing artists feeling neglected. But the experimental choreographers at Inkub8 are not to be left out. They hooked up with visual and sound artists and renamed their art form “visual dance” – at least for last week’s performances. Smack…

So the traffic’s thinned, the pavilions are gone, and the folks in red pants have returned to the freezing temperatures of New York or London or wherever. You might think: “Whew, I was getting so sick of all of this insanity. Screw Art Basel!” Many locals looked at the roaming…

Anyone can be a girl that happens to do bad things. But getting a DUI or having a one night stand (or twelve) will definitely put you on the road to bona fide badass-ness. Does that qualify you for Cultist’s favorite reality show, Bad Girls Club? Even more to the point,…

When you hear the occupation “DJ” come out of anyone’s mouth, it’s very hard to take that person seriously. It seems everyone in this town with a MacBook and speakers is trying so very badly to make it in the music game. Well, they should take a look at Miami’s…
Art Basel is like the Olympics of people-watching, because rich people buy special licenses to dress funny. But there’s also a lot of great fashion sashaying around Miami’s sidewalks for Miami Art Week. Here’s a few pages of the best dressed from last week. The big trends? Red, fur, busy…
Just when you’re ready to dump your shopping bags and tell Santa to go f@ck himself and the reindeer he flew in on, finally you get something a little different with this year’s holiday shopping experience. Or at least you get the hope of something different.Random Acts of Culture could…
After roaming dozens of art fairs’ hundreds of rows, the whole Basel experience started to feel a little, well, manic. And it also started to feel a little alienating. The trade-show booth set-up only intensifies our estrangement from the art-world, a place where buying a Brillo-pad sculpture for 50,000 Euros…
Basel this, art fair that. We’re glad they exist, but basically, we’re all about the streets. That’s what kept us in Wynwood Thursday through Saturday. We made movies, drank beer, and rode bikes like maniacs. While the art world was busy pretending they were Wall Street, we tried to document…

If there’s one thing we know about South Florida, it’s that it has a large population of singles. Why? There are a ton of beautiful people in the 305; there’s always a good time to be had as well as lots of beds to wake up in. And guys, if…

For five days, the world treated Miami like it mattered. It bought us flowers and told us it liked our new haircut. It held open doors and called us at night just to say goodnight. But the smooth-talking world is shipping out today, and the only way we know to…
Wham, bam, thank you, mam? In the morning, the crowds will be gone, the pop-up shops and nightclubs will be empty storefronts again, and our city will have to reconcile the fact that it’s no longer an uber-chic, hipster Atlantis, but a metropolitan city with tons of stinking problems. What,…
Because this is Miami, you would likely be inclined to think that any event related to Art Basel Miami Beach is one with a slew of loafer-wearing, bespectacled artsy folk trying to converse over a pounding soundtrack from a guest DJ. But this was not the case last night when…
Ready for another Basel day post-mortem? We’ll keep this quick as we have hangovers to nurse and art fairs to attend. The super secret The Island exhibit was either shut down by the city or they ran out of boats. We’re trying to find out. Artist Ryan McGinness turned Club…
In the words of Sailor Jerry, cheap work ain’t good and good work ain’t cheap. So you could be excused for feeling sheepish about the caliber of work coming out of the free Sanrio tattoo parlor, which opened at Small Art Miami yesterday. But one of our writers sent in…
The Aqua Art Fair made its way back to the ocean (actually, just a block away from the Atlantic on Collins Avenue), coming back to the Aqua Hotel where it all began in 2005. It’s a good move, because the Aqua Hotel is about as cool a place as you…
