Dara Friedman 'Dancer' - Gavin Brown enterprise
Artprojx and David Gryn have just returned from the very successful collaborative project with Art Basel Miami Beach 2011 selecting and curating their Art Video programme.
The screenings were on the 7000 sq ft wall of the Frank Gehry designed New World (Symphony) Center in SoundScape Park next to the Miami Convention Centrer. With its 35000 lumen projector and 186 speakers sound system.
We also programmed 5 wooden designed pods in the centre of the fair – where visitors watched a selection of the films curated. These were full with viewers for the duration of the fair.
There were 3 evenings of public screenings – where everyone was welcome from local homeless people to the very supportive Rubell family.
Rashaad Newsome 'The Conductor' - Marlborough Gallery
Dara Friedman’s Dancer was a highlight – as it touched on so many buttons. It was a premiere of a film made in Miami, by a resident Miami based artist, with over 66 Miami based dancers in the film. It was also always the artist’s ambition for the work to feature on the exact spot I was selecting for – unbeknownst to me. And most importantly – the work is exceptional, and was ideal for this project. Dara felt that the sound was better than she could have imagined, and her gallery Gavin Brown enterprise – was happy as Larry (who ever he may be !).

Christian Jankowski 'Casting Jesus' trailer - Lisson Gallery
I also interviewed her for the Art Basel Miami Beach organised Art Salon series – where we were in conversation, and it all added to my greater knowledge of her and her work – and through this process I have determined that she is a sensational artist.
Ryan McGinley ' Entrance Romance (It felt like a kiss)' - Team Gallery
All 6 of the screenings had between 300 and 600 viewers at any one time. We had the multi-coloured Fatboy cushions that made the whole experience very comfortable – for locals, art world and indeed a very varied audience. Artprojx usuallly works in cinema contexts and this worked very well too – with the audience maintaining interest and focus over the 2 hours each evening – even when some of the work was slow and not of immediate impact.
