ART BASEL | MIAMI BEACH
DEC. 6 – 9, 2007
WYNWOOD ARTS DISTRICT
CURATED BY : BLACKBOOKSIIII & SPINELLO GALLERY
Primary flight is a site-specific street level installation, taking place throughout the Wynwood arts district and Miami design district. This exhibitions soul purpose is to provide the artist with concrete wall space and allow them free reign to install their art as they see fit, avoiding any type of confinement. Graffiti has long left the street, having become embraced by some of the world’s greatest collections and museums. This year we invited these contemporary heavyweights to Miami to install their work back into graffiti’s original environment, allowing it to be viewed in what is arguably its most appealing format.
PRIMARY FLIGHT will include:
AIM /Bask / Blackbooks / Blek le Rat / Brandon Opalka / Cycle / David Choe / Depoe / Dolla / El Mac / Futura / Kenton Parker / Kenny Scharf / Lady Pink /Logan Hicks / Michael De Feo / MSG / Peat Wollaeger / Retna / Reyes / Richard Hambleton /Santiago Rubino / She Kills He / Siner / Tes One / WK Interact

“Being a parent myself, I am all about having places in the community where kids can go to have fun. To be able to have some fun of my own and do some cool artwork in order to contribute towards this skate park was an easy decision for me.”
- Todd McFarlane, Creator of Spawn
The Swift-Cantrell public skate park is being built in Kennesaw, GA. The park will be included in the Swift-Cantrell mixed recreational use park now under construction just outside of downtown Kennesaw. The planned 30,000 sq. ft. concrete skate park will include street and transition skating areas and will be designed and built by one of the top skate park designers in the country. Costing an estimated $1,000,000 the park will be the first and only public skate park in the area.
