Living for this energy rn—Miami’s Art Basel is basically a 48-hour TikTok challenge, and I’m here for it. Picture this: you’re standing on a street corner in South Beach, feet screaming, trying to hail an Uber while a 50-foot rotating library of books (yes, literally) stares you down. This is the real MVP of Basel chaos. Over four days, I survived traffic, espresso martinis, and a literal library of art, all while asking myself, “Is this clout or just a cult?” Spoiler: it’s both.
The real flex? Booking that private tour with Bridget Finn, Art Basel’s director. You get front-row seats to the museum before the crowd arrives, plus insider stories about pieces like Jesús Rafael Soto’s Pénétrable (think: art that makes you question your own reality). Oh, and don’t skip Faena’s The Library of Us—it’s the reason your feed is obsessed with rotating bookshelves. But let’s be real, the real flex is surviving the 20-minute Uber wait. Pro tip: Arrive early. Or just embrace the chaos.
My Airbnb in North Beach was my zen zone, 15 minutes from the madness but worlds away. I’d work from there, then zoom down to South Beach for art talks and ceviche. At night? Flashy silk tops, shortest skirts, and a full-on Miami girlie vibe. I missed Rihanna’s arrival by two hours (thanks, traffic), but I made up for it at a Tag Heuer dinner with Hiroshi Fujiwara—because who doesn’t want to feel like a fashion influencer?
The real MVP? The Coveteur Art & Style dinner. It was a room full of creatives, my dream Christopher Esber dress, and a night where I forgot about my tired feet. And let’s not forget the arroz con mariscos—yes, it was way too big, but I ate it all. Basel is like a mood: it drains you, then fills you back up.
💫 Don’t skip Faena’s Library of Us; it’s the reason your feed is obsessed.
KEY POINTS: Book that private tour with Bridget Finn—it’s the ultimate Basel shortcut. Don’t skip Faena’s Library of Us; it’s the reason your feed is obsessed. And yes, Miami’s art scene is a mix of chaos and creativity—embrace the chaos.
So, are you ready to trade your commute for a Basel binge? Or is it just me?
