'We welcome the artworld back to Art Basel Miami Beach this year with curated sectors and programming as inspired and ambitious as ever,’ said Vincenzo de Bellis, Director, Fairs and Exhibition Platforms, Art Basel. ‘Meridians will host 19 exceptional projects that go beyond the traditional art fair format to explore how we engage with our shifting natural and cultural environments. Our Kabinett sector will return with several first-time exhibitors, and our Conversations program will celebrate Miami Beach as the geographic and creative nexus of North and Latin America. Outside the halls, a truly exceptional cultural program will unfold at Miami Beach’s institutions and private collections, from Hernan Bas, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, and Etel Adnan at The Bass, to Charles Gaines and Tau Lewis at ICA Miami, to Gary Simmons at PAMM.'
