Art Loves Music in Miami Beach
Art Basel is unquestionably one of the most exciting events in the international art world. Every December, the organizers put their focus on transforming Miami Beach into a city that can host one of the great world culture events. Artists, curators, and people from all walks of life come to display and gawk at some of the most exciting works of today. To some, Miami Beach is the perfect place to host the event. It’s an international city that holds a great deal of natural beauty, and also has a very receptive young crowd.
The distinctive aura of the festival does seem to clash with the beach bodies and clubbers, and some might think it’s an unlikely match. However, there is truly something for everyone here, as the Art Loves Music event proves, year after year. If the promise of innovative and challenging art doesn’t inspire one to look into booking a hotel in Miami Beach , the concert just might.
Last year’s show brought in Londoner Ebony Jones , and she transformed the place into her version of reality. For those unfamiliar with the rising pop star, she is sometimes simply a fantastic performer. At other moments, she is like an art object unto herself, and she shows remarkable abilities to transform an everyday moment into a living and breathing work of art. Playing her variety of music she calls Jungle-Punk, it became very apparent why she was chosen for the event. Like George Clinton before her, and possibly Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Damaso Perez Prado, and very few others, she understands the power of performance, and is able to take hold of a moment through the music.
Previous years have seen the likes of Iggy Pop, another performer whose work crosses over into the realm of performance art very quickly. But those who are wary of art for art’s sake needn’t be concerned that this will be heady and intellectual. There is that, of course, but there’s a whole lot of shaking going on as well.
