Ground Control at Art Basel

The exhibition Ground Control, organized by Nicholas Baume, Director and Chief Curator of Public Art Fund, featured outdoor and site-specific works in Collins Park for the Public sector of Art Basel. From November 30th to December 4th the works were produced in collaboration with The Bass Museum of Art and supported by MGM Resorts Arts and Culture. Challenging some of the norms for public sculpture the works invite visitors to engage in innovative ways, as some sculptures shape shift with interaction. Favorites from the exhibition are below!

The Bob Marley Museum

The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica, WI is a tourist attraction full of information and antiques from the life and music of Bob Marley. From 1975 to 1981 the artist used the home as a site of business and recording, and it was converted to a Museum six years after his death by his wife Rita Marley. Music permeates the premises and attractions on the site, and it is a great place to visit while on the island! For more information click here.

Below are some of my favorite photos from my site visit:

Sheldon Museum of Art Sculpture Garden

The art at the Sheldon Museum of Art is not only contained in the beautiful Philip Johnson building. In fact, one of the wonderful features of the Sheldon Museum is the sculpture garden. Across the campus you will find amazing pieces of sculpture and public works. I thoroughly enjoyed my walk across the beautiful campus to find all the artwork I have attached to this post!
