The Oceanfront
Occupying an entire city block directly at the heart of Miami Beach’s waterfront, the
Oceanfront exhibition area will be purpose-built for the presentation of contemporary art,
performance, video, and live music every night. Selected by Art Basel Miami Beach and
Creative Time as the winners of an architectural contest, Phu Hoang Office and Rachely
Rotem Studio will deploy thousands of feet of reflective rope to create this temporary
space. The Oceanfront Nights program for 2010 features four cities at the forefront of today’s
artistic experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration: Berlin, Detroit, Glasgow, and
Mexico City. From December 1 to December 4, the diverse program will spotlight one city
per night, featuring music, video, performances and more. Art Basel Miami Beach and
Creative Time have invited four organizations to partner on creating these Oceanfront
nights - the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, Museo Tamayo in Mexico City,
Tramway in Glasgow, and 032c in Berlin.

aspects of the international artworld, starting the program with the traditional Artist Talk
Premiere featuring a legendary artist. Topics for the following panel discussions include

the panel informally.

winning film 'Waste Land,' which follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his

Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic
band of 'catadores' - pickers of recyclable materials, to create a new series of works.

Collection, CIFO, the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space and Home, and
