The Scoop | Week of November 22

Though most of us have turkey dinner on our mind, the annual Art Basel Miami Beach and its many satellite fairs and festivities begin right after the holiday weekend. In addition to our ONE Guide to Miami Art Week 2022, here are extra suggestions for what to see and do during this exciting time. Whether we see you in the convention center halls or on the beach, have a great art-filled experience.

 

Meridians

Among Art Basel Miami Beach’s sectors, Meridians always makes a statement for its sheer size. Museo Tamayo director Magalí Arriola returns to curate 20 monumental installations that challenge the western art canon. Works include Cauleen Smith’s film “Sojourner” honoring the iconic abolitionist, Judy Chicago’s hand-crocheted “Birth” and Devan Shimoyama’s “The Grove,” pictured, about gang violence.
