Site-specific pieces are placed alongside group installations, which favor mixed, sculptural media, and strong visual statements. ![Untitled Art Fair 2015](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/hyperallergic-newspack-s3-amazonaws-com/uploads/2015/12/untitledmiami15-23.jpg) Dancers interacting with a sculpture by Amanda Keeley, part of a series of performances at Untitled (click to enlarge) Untitled started in 2012 and differentiated itself from the other [Art Basel](https://hyperallergic.com/your-concise-guide-to-the-2015-miami-art-fairs/) satellite fairs by adding an emphasis on curatorial vision. Artistic director Omar López-Chahoud and curators Christophe Boutin and Melanie Scarciglia have corralled galleries, nonprofits, and artist-run spaces from New York, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Lima, Berlin, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and many other cities for this year’s iteration. This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a consistent or fluid experience, as they’ve squeezed every inch of space out of the fair’s monumental home. If you go be prepared to wind around a few times to see it all — the rows aren’t neat lines and instead break off and curve into each other. This also leaves things like the frenetic Toiletpaper Lounge, a collaboration between Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, a bit stranded up front and feeling disconnected from the flow of booths, although if you want to sit on a tombstone that reads “THE END” and ponder the aesthetics of a rug decorated with severed fingers while looking out at the beach, seek out the portal to this space. Many of the highlights of the fair are the installations, which include a towering collision of found chairs, wood, paint, and other objects by Julie Schenkelberg of Site:Lab in Grand Rapids, which reminded me of [her recent show](https://hyperallergic.com/a-tribute-to-the-rust-belt-carefully-crafted-from-domestic-decay/) at New York’s Asya Geisberg Gallery; a floor-consuming piece by Ryan Wallace with Romer Young Gallery of San Francisco involving canvas, vinyl, rubber, and heavy slathers of roof coating that you can walk over; and a simple sculpture in wood and metal by Amanda Keeley, “Double Arc,” which is activated by dancers during the fair — it’s part of a series of performances taking place around the space. And if you aren’t in the area but want to tune in, there’s also a live radio broadcast through Wynwood Radio, which you can [listen to online](http://wynwoodradio.com/archive.php?a=582&ref=hyperallergic.com). Below are some more photographs from the seaside fair, where large-scale art and colorful mixed media command the attention of the crowd. ![Outside Untitled Art Fair in Miami
