Incase at Art Basel, Miami Beach

We partnered with Surface magazine to sponsor its VIP lounge for the duration of Miami Art Basel, one of the most anticipated and exciting art shows in the US.

Surface magazine, in association with the Gansevoort South Hotel, present the Surface Lounge at Gansevoort South, a three-day event during the famed Art Basel Miami Beach. Eighteen stories above the ocean, the hotel’s Plunge rooftop is a tropical playground featuring a 110-foot-long pool on a 26,000-square-foot, palm-fringed Brazilian Ipe deck. (Can it get any better?)

During the day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Surface Lounge will host a 5,000-square-foot VIP area illuminated and furnished by Gandia Blasco, offering respite and refreshment for Art Basel participants scurrying to events and galleries. We will be providing the WiFi-ready Media Lounge complimented by a montage of short films featuring the artists from our Curated by Arkitip series, including KRINK, Parra, Steven Harrington, HunterGatherer and André.

Interview magazine will also be setting up shop, but this year at the Mondrian Hotel. In celebration of the magazine’s 40th birthday, they’ve taken over the hotel’s luxury Semi-Automatic vending machine to feature their Anniversary Collection, a curated installment of fascinating items such as archive Interview issues signed by Andy Warhol, tickets to the Paris Couture shows, a private jet, commissioned artwork by emerging young artists Asher Penn, Megan Plunkett and Luke Barber Smith, and product from the most recent Curated by Arkitip installment featuring André, signed by the artist himself. All are available for purchase.

Fingers crossed the weather holds out and Miami lives up to its vibrant, showy and sunny reputation. We’ll have more to share straight from the shows and celebrations, South Beach style. Stay tuned.
