Scope Miami: Mr. Brainwash and other Special Projects

Most fairs are strictly business and only a few details may be memorable, if one is lucky. Along with several special projects, one such detail at Scope Miami was the invasion of the L.A. graffiti artist known as Mr. Brainwash.

The more art fairs one sees, the more they become a blur, due to the massive amount of works each offers. Some of the exceptionally curated ones might leave a very strong impression, but most fairs are strictly business and only a few details may be memorable, if one is lucky. Along with several special projects, one such detail at Scope Miami was the invasion of the L.A. graffiti artist known as Mr. Brainwash. By the invitation of Scope, Mr. Brainwash produced works on nearly all unused walls of the fair and could be found in the tent at almost all times. The graffiti bombings and a number of special projects scattered around the Scope tent made this year’s Scope Miami just a little more memorable than your average art fair.

Nearly a dozen fairs have their tents in Midtown Miami and surrounding neighborhoods, making it easy for the Miami art shoppers to visit several events without walking. Miami Basel is about a 20 minute drive away in Miami Beach.

Floors are made of unpainted, in places uneven, plywood, matching the street feeling of some of the special projects.
