CONCRETE WAVES | HOMAGE TO SKATE CULTURE

Miami Art Positions container courtyard this year has exploded with the actions and images of skate culture.
Ryan McGinness created artwork for the Collins Park welcome center incorporating the central containers, radio/DJ booth, dance floor, seating area, open air cinema, restaurant/bar, and a 70-foot elongated skate-ramp designed specially for Art Basel Miami Beach by architect Tom Postma.
Art Basel Miami Beach 2007 became a multimedia theater for over three evenings, with non-stop, non-repeating footage drawn from music videos and television shows, dance performances, abstract designs, and animations. From punk to hip-hop to techno featuring DJs from the local Miami scene, sounds and sources blended together, fused, overlapping, contaminated, and contaminating art.
