There is a good reason why most of the recent entries had nothing to do with Art Basel Miami Beach. The show was simply a very serious and large event, some of the encounters were ones that will radiate for the months to come, there are so many new names, so many new things, so many new ideas... some quite spectacular, some somehow abysmal, some wonderful, some not so great... it will take a while for me to digest pieces of the experience and then to place them here, over time.
Please do not think that I am withholding information, or trying to release it with news-channel-like addiction to procrastination...
I took pages and pages of notes. I have a pile of cards from galleries. I have a whole bag with material related to the main show as well as the other events that happened at the same time...
If I were writing about nature, or my own drawings, I would not mind placing insults and injuring descriptions here... when writing about things that influence other lives... I would like to be more considerate... especially with those who are just barely coming to the table...
I know this post might sound like a silly excuse... I am just enjoying the fact that I do not have to write for a particular deadline... and I am also waiting for my memory to soften the waves on some of the stranger experiences...
Slower sometimes does make sense...
ahem... if you scroll down... there is actually a bit of a first entry about art basel miami beach... hmm... slooowlyyy...
