Swarm Gallery in Miami 2007

Swarm Gallery went to Miami for its second art fair (ever, the first in FL)…

We had our work cut out for us.

The “we”: Anuradha Vikram, Benedict Cressy and Svea Lin Vezzone (this was actually taken AFTER the event; we all look a bit harried, fried and just plain burned out…)

This is a shot of our room — it had the best light in the joint, but it was tucked away in the corner of the second floor; not so happy about that. Here’s what we did with it… :

Entrance with Jake Watling’s work.

Casey Jex Smith, Jeff Eisenberg, Andy Junge, John Casey, Andy Vogt, Kathy Aoki on far wall, chair by Gregg Fleishman

…Martha Sue Harris, Erik Friedman, more Casey Jex Smith…

…Tia Factor…

…Laura Ball, Eileen Starr Moderbacher…

That’s artist Yvette Molina (fantastic artist…)

Andy Junge’s “American Detritus” found object box

Then….

Ahhhhhhh….Our day off

Anu, Yvette, Ben, artist Kate, Svea and Kimberly (of Johansson Projects)

All of the above, minus Ben Cressy, add Adam Hatch (Lobot)

If the cold and gray winter edge is getting to me, I just look at this…
