In 2008 the Aqua Art Miami art fair will again take place in two locations simultaneously, one at the Aqua Hotel in South Beach, near Art Basel Miami Beach where we first launched the fair, and Aqua Wynwood in the heart of Miami's gallery district, just a few blocks from the Rubell Collection, and close to other important venues such as the Margulies Collection and the MOCA Goldman warehouse, and a number of other satellite fairs including NADA, Pulse, Scope Miami, Art Miami, Photo Miami, and The Photography Show.

Aqua Wynwood will host a number of special artists projects in the warehouse this year, including: a large installation by Jim Campbell called Home Movies; a new video shorts program I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU, curated by John Spiak in association with Arizona State University Art Museum; a huge wall mural created on site by Antistrot, and a new shadow drawing by Ellis Gallagher. More info about these and other projects coming soon....

Special events at Aqua Wynwood:

I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU
A video art program curated by John Spiak
On-going screening December 2 - 7. I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU is a single channel video art program featuring works by ten artists that explores the effects of our curiosity in and intrusions upon others. Featuring works by: Mounira Al Solh, Rachel Garfield, Charlotte Ginsborg, Pia Greschner, Myung-Soo Kim, Yaron Lapid, Jeff Luckey, Johnna MacArthur, Michael Mohan, and Corinna Schnitt. Sponsored by Aqua Art Miami & Friends of the Arizona State University Art Museum.

Home Movies
A new media/video installation by Jim Campbell
Campbell is an MIT-educated engineer and mathematician who is known for his installations featuring extremely low-resolution moving images accomplished utilizing LED technologies. Presented by Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco & New York.

The Zoseria at Aqua
An installation by Frohawk Two Feathers
Los Angeles-based, Frohawk Two Feathers work is at the confluence of graffiti, folk art and 19th century portraiture. Frohawk is creating a large decorated pyramid that will be installed in the outdoor courtyard at Aqua Wynwood. The Zoseria at Aqua is presented by House of Campari.

Antistrot: Site-specific wall mural painted by Dutch collective
The Dutch artist collective Antistrot will create a new work in Miami for the courtyard of Aqua Wynwood. The collective, who are inspired by comic books, fashion magazines and old photography books among other things, will be painting live during the Wynwood VIP Preview on December 2. Presented by Sara Tecchia Roma New York.

Ellis Gallagher: site-specific shadow drawing
Ellis Gallagher's shadow chalk drawings, executed in both urban and interior settings, seek to enhance the beauty of everyday objects and mundane situations that are routinely overlooked. The artist will be making drawings at Wynwood and other Miami locations. Courtesy Sara Tecchia Roma New York.
