More from Art Basel: Primary FlightDecember 17, 2007 | 09:13AM
By Diana McClure: This year’s Art Basel Miami saw an unprecedented number of murals by street artists and graffiti aficionados hit the walls of the Wynwood Art District in downtown Miami. The site specific, street level installation called Primary Flight included artists: David Choe, Lady Pink, Retna, El Mac, Richard Hambleton, She Kills He, Santiago Rubino, Siner, Depoe, Logan Hicks, Peat Wollaeger, Kenton Parker, Reyes, Dolla, AIM, MSG, Brandon Opalka, Blek Le Rat, Tes One, Bask, Michael De Feo, Futura, Andy Howell, Cycle, Ellis G., Gorilla Tactiks, The London Police. We were fortunate enough to see some of the artists at work on ladders with spray paint in hand in an exhilarating display of public art in action. The Mac, an artist based in Los Angeles, graced one warehouse exterior wall with a stunningly sensual image of a woman in green, aqua and blue tones. Nearby, abstract pieces alongside what appeared to be painted in projections of life-size portraits of city folk, converged with multiple pieces of work and one panoramic photo installation on a series of corners in the vicinity of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 23rd Street.
