IMPRESSIVE TURNOUT AT THE YARD AT CASALIN
The Yard at Casalin, an outdoor exhibition space for site-specific work, located in the heart of Wynwood, was the gathering place for Art Basel enthusiasts as they flocked to the venue for their morning cafesito, pastelitos and a bountiful platter of art. Among the visitors and guests who raved about the beautiful setting and carefully curated exhibition were museum directors from around the nation, collectors, gallerists, philanthropists, artists, and art supporters, among others.
Rock and a Soft Place, an exhibition by New World School of the Arts alumni and faculty featured more than a dozen art works, from life-like crabs unexpectedly crawling on a tree trunk to diminutive paper statues of distressed women stemming from the earth like wild flowers, to an array of musical sheets billowing in the wind.

UNTITLED SHOW AT ARTSEEN FEATURES THE UNEXPECTED
NWSA Artseen Gallery highlights the work of sixteen college and high school New World School of the Arts students during the exciting Art Basel Festival. The show, comprised of performances and installations, brings a plethora of unexpected surprises that run the gamut from situational living arrangements to bigger than life sculptures.
Curated by dean Cuesta along with recognized gallerist Fredric Snitzer, Untitled offers the audience a treat through its diverse and dynamically unexpected works. The Run Away, by HS senior Audrey Gair, is a performance work featuring the artist living and functioning in her own world within the gallery and yet totally open to spectators. Moises Sanabria, a sophomore in the college program, offers The Bohemians, a dozen wood musicians nostalgically playing Queen's epic 1970's song Bohemian Rhapsody. Meanwhile, college junior Renata Rojo's untitled work is a thought-provoking surprise suspended from the ten-foot ceiling of the gallery.
