ART BASEL PASARELA DEL ARTE GLOBAL

Durante la feria de arte internacional Art Basel celebrada en Miami, destacó la participación de Scope, asociación que desde hace seis años es considerada la más importante del mundo en la promoción y proyección de las obras de nuevas galerías, así como de artistas y curadores noveles.

Scope se siente orgulloso de ser una influyente presencia en la expansión del mercado de arte global y para Alvaro Cámara, de CBRE/Dinámica, fue un honor patrocinar la cena privada en la Rubell Gallery, donde se dio el lanzamiento de la serie de lecturas y filmes de Scope, y de la cual fueron anfitriones la misma familia Rubell junto con Mark Coetzee, director de la Rubell Family Collection.

En dicha velada, además, se presentó el exclusivo conjunto residencial de Playa Mujeres, Capricho, el cual destaca por su perfecta armonía con su entorno natural, rodeado de amplios jardines y dos campos de golf diseñados por Greg Norman, todo esto rodeado por más de 700 metros lineales de playa. Entre las múltiples atracciones que distinguirán a Capricho destaca un hotel boutique con su propio club de playa y spa, entre amplios jardines, albercas comunes, gimnasio, canchas de tenis y usos múltiples, club de niños y zona de selectas boutiques.

Information

BASEL – SCOPE, the cutting-edge contemporary art fair, returns for the second year to Basel in a new venue, a 60,000 square foot glass pavilion situated on the Rhine. Within walking distance of Art Basel 39, SCOPE will present its most international fair yet, showcasing 85 galleries from all over the world.

SCOPE Basel 2008 exhibitors, special events, and curatorial programs amplify the fair’s signal achievement: introducing artists, curators, and cutting-edge galleries to new audiences internationally, making it the most comprehensive destination for emerging art available anywhere.

With SCOPE Basel 2008, the fair solidifies its position as a leading presenter in the global art world. Currently with fairs in New York, London, Miami, Basel, and the Hamptons, SCOPE is expanding into Spain, China, and the United Arab Emirates, where a cultural world’s fair of art, music, and film has been commissioned.

SCOPE’s latest achievements are complimented by long-term, world-class, exhibition venue commitments. For SCOPE Basel 08, an undeniable tipping point has brought Volta and Balelatina into its orbit, creating a fully-serviced “art district on the Rhine.” SCOPE New York 2008 was held at the culturally iconic Lincoln Center and SCOPE London has proudly made the hallowed Lord’s Cricket Ground its new home.

SCOPE is the brainchild of Alexis Hubshman, who drew upon his experience as an artist and gallerist to start SCOPE in 2002 in a New York hotel. As the first art fair to bring emerging galleries Peres Projects, Daniel Reich, John Connelly Presents, Taxter & Spengemann and Marella to a wider audience, SCOPE has given many now-prominent emerging artists like Assume Astro Vivid Focus, Scissor Sisters and Black Label their first significant international exposure.

The fair has evolved from an industry niche to an influential global contributor, with ongoing events, educational programs, and the SCOPE Foundation 501(c) 3.With total sales of nearly $100 million, over 250,000 visitors, and wide media attention, SCOPE has helped build a flourishing collector base in the contemporary art market.

At SCOPE Basel 2008, the new air-conditioned pavilion significantly upgrades the exhibition venue, and is serviced by shuttle, water taxi, and pedicab. This year’s edition of the fair builds on SCOPE’s tradition of one-person and thematic group shows, and museum-quality programming to create a real-time international survey of emerging art.
