Art Salon
Taking place in the afternoon within the central area of the Miami Beach Convention Center, Art Salon is an open platform for discussion with an emphasis on current themes in contemporary art. Informal in its format, yet international in scope, Art Salon encourages experimental discussions, presentations and events such as book signings, with the range of speakers including artists, curators, authors, and architects.
The program offers an intimate experience for the audience, allowing them to engage with prominent and thought-provoking guests on a variety of cur- rent events in the visual arts, as well as to explore the challenges of artistic practice within the public realm. Participants include prominent artworld personalities such as Pae White, Ghada Amer, Jens Hoffmann, Okwui Enwezor, Fred Tomaselli, Mark Rosenthal, Ryan McGinley, James Rosenquist, Klaus Biesenbach, Josh Baer and Patrick Charpenel.
