Art Basel Miami Beach - List of Conversations and Art Salon

Art Basel Conversations and Art Salon: Premier panellists This year's Art Basel Conversations and Art Salon series will again feature premier panellists including artists Tracey Emin, Liam Gillick, Emilia and Ilya Kabakov, Gabriel Orozco, and Erwin Wurm, as well as leading collectors, museum directors, curators, academics and many other cultural players. For a decade now, Art Basel Conversations has offered the public a chance to see dynamic dialogues between prominent figures of the international artworld, debating the key issues facing the artworld today and offering first-hand perspectives on producing, collecting and exhibiting art. This year's program will include 'Art Basel Miami Beach and South Florida: A Decade of Transformation'. The highly anticipated panel will see major Florida-based collectors discuss the cultural developments in Miami Beach and South Florida over the past ten years. Furthermore, an all-female museum directors' panel will discuss 'The Evolution of Museum Missions' while the ' The Future of Artistic Practice' panel will focus on 'The Artist as Poet'. Art Salon complements the Art Basel Conversations program and serves as an open space for shorter presentations, including panel discussion, lectures and performances. Presenting a range of speakers, this year's program will include a number of stimulating artist talks with Carlos Cruz-Diez, Theaster Gaters, Haegue Yang, Mark Handforth, Ernesto Neto, Tomás Saraceno and Richard Tuttle amongst many others. The program will also include a discussion about 'Regionalism' in a globalized artworld with the Bruce High Quality Foundation, Jens Hoffmann and Chelsea Haines.
