Here Lies Georges Wildenstein
a new exhibit debuting during Art Basel Miami Beach 2011

Opening Reception
7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
An ambitious collection of works from fifteen artists builds to a fever pitch with Here Lies Georges Wildenstein at Primary Projects. Touching on the senses of repulsion and fascination felt within the highest circles of the art world, new works from artists who bridge a solidly established academic practice with a sexy, devil-may-care attitude for art pour l'art are unveiled exclusively during Art Basel Miami Beach 2011. The title echoes the dubious, often scandalous, activities of the 20th century's most influential family of dealers and researchers whose influence was so entrenched into the visual arts consciousness, that even allegations as being Nazi collaborators could not quell the media's fascination with their limitless professional and personal clout.

Primary Projects presents: Kenton Parker's Taco Shop
at SCOPE Miami 2011
Tuesday, November 29 —
Sunday, December 4
Miami, FL - For multimedia artist and curator Kenton Parker, his Taco Shop establishment stationed outside the fashionable L.A. Las Palmas nightclub brings the beautiful people back to their basic needs; everyone pays the same dollar for the same after-party, hangover fare. Sharply crafted from tile mosaic, Parker's standalone shop offers patrons everything from sodas to recovered fake Louis Vuitton wallets, from spray paint to Nerds candy boxes.
For SCOPE Miami 2011, Parker will recreate his Taco Shop, which saw its first reincarnation at Primary Projects for Parker's solo show 'It Takes All This To Be Me' in October 2011. As a premier venue for contemporary arts' most boldly irreverent, cutting-edge works, SCOPE celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year after over thirty-five editions worldwide between Miami, Basel, London and the Hamptons.

Primary Flight
RETNA paints 'Tribute' wall on the Wynwood Arts Complex for the 5th Anniversary of Primary Flight
Since 2007, Primary Flight has served the Miami contemporary art community as an incubator, delivering a distinctive brand of outdoor and gallery-based works harboring the defiant spirit of counter-culture presented to the public through a sophisticated cultural outlet. Five years on, Primary Flight is now a significant, global presence in the sphere of street-based contemporary art out of Miami, bringing the world's freshest talent to the public. Coinciding with the fifth anniversary of Primary Flight, Los Angeles-based artist RETNA will contribute a massive tributory mural as part of Primary Flight's anniversary mantra: 'Go Big, Or Go Home.'
