Design Miami 2016 brings together leading design galleries from around the world to present beautifully conceived and highly individual exhibitions for which the fair has become renowned. When Design Miami kicks off its 2016 fair, it will do so with a bang by introducing Flotsam & Jetsam, one of the largest 3-D printed objects in the world, designed by this year’s Panerai Design Miami Visionary Award winner, SHoP Architects. The original design will serve as the entrance of this year’s Design Miami/ fair and afterwards be moved to permanent location in Miami.

Editors Comments

If art fairs aren’t your thing and want something more intimate head on over to the Moore Building in the Design District where Larry Gagosian and Jeffrey Dietrich are presenting their exhibit, “Desire”. “Desire” explores modern and contemporary approaches to eroticism in art. One of the very earliest and most fundamental artistic themes, eroticism has served to reflect the social mores and cultural values of different civilizations. As the representation of eroticism has evolved in society, boundaries are tested, bringing to life artistic fantasies and unprecedented imagery. Eroticism reinvents itself with every subsequent generation. Today, for example, the promiscuous overexposure of nude bodies on the Internet and television has forever altered the very notion of erotic representation”.
