Your Handy Guide to Miami Art Week
Also: The Louvre is hiking up its entry fee, but only for non-Europeans.
Miami Art Week is here! Our Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia, a Miami native, is visiting home to cover the city's sprawling art festival (and escape the New York cold). She begins with a roundup of the major art fairs, exhibitions, and public programming taking place this week, including an artist's peculiar revolving library on the beach.
Also, read Valentina's report about an exhibition of 25 Seminole artists (the Indigenous people of Florida) at the HistoryMiami Museum.

FROM OUR CRITICS
John Yau on Tongji Philip Qian
"By following their self-imposed rules, conceptual artists (with the exception of Sol LeWitt) could not make a failed piece. Qian does something different — even when he follows the rules, he undermines himself through erasure and negating marks. His process recalls lines from Samuel Beckett’s 1983 novella Worstword Ho: “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” By working this way, Qian opens conceptual art to new possibilities."
