The leitmotif of Art Basel in Miami comes down to one word: explosion. Whether it be of colors, of materials, of themes, or of textures, explosiveness is what characterizes the entire show. The fair offers works that are exuberant, magnetic, overpowering; surprise is always around the corner, and unexpectedness makes for an experience for a unique experience. Chaos, danger, the body, and entertainment are immortalized in the artwork and offered in front of visitors: these artworks have the ability to stop time and show us those explosive instants of existence are too short to be contemplated in real life.

Il Leitmotiv dell’ArtBasel di Miami si identifica in un termine: esplosione. Che sia di colori, di materiali, di temi, di texture caratterizza infatti l’intera esposizione. Quel che offre la fiera sono opere esuberanti, magnetiche, travolgenti; la sorspresa è dietro l’angolo, e l’inaspettato rende il tutto un’esperienza unica. Il caos, il pericolo,il corpo, il divertimento vengono immortalati nelle opere d’arte e offerte ai visitatori : esse hanno la capacità di fermare il tempo, e di mostrarci quegli attimi esplosivi dell’esistenza, troppo brevi nella vita reale per poter essere contemplati.
