art basel 02 ::: deitch projects

The first floor was much better than the ground floor. I really enjoyed Jeffrey Deitch's gallery. It's pure rock'n'roll! At art basel he showed works by assume vivid astro focus, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Os Gemeos, Keith Haring, Chris Johanson, Brad Kahlhamer, Barry McGee, Steve Powers, Clare Rojas, Raqib Shaw, Swoon, Nari Ward and Kehinde Wiley.

His booth was huge and had two floors. It was really great - a mixture of fun, depth, party, whatever.
Did you know that he's also representing Fischerspooner??? Well I knew that they did this performance at art basel miami beach in 2002, but...!? How actually does an art gallery represent musicians, well thats what they basically are! That's so great! Jeffrey Deitch must be crazy!

Check out the "galleries" website. I still don't know if I like it or not - it's just so...
