PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is pleased to announce a full series of programming and innovative partnerships in honor of its eleventh edition in Miami Beach taking place at Indian Beach Park from Tuesday, December 1 through Saturday, December 5, 2015. PULSE’s programs are inspired by the desire to cultivate a dynamic environment in which visitors can connect and engage with art, performance and current topics in the art market. The programming for each edition of the fair is filtered through the lens of an overarching theme, which for PULSE Miami Beach is Spectacle.
On Tuesday, December 1, PULSE Miami Beach will kick-off Miami Art Week with its signature Private Preview Brunch from 1pm-4pm. The invitation-only event will allow VIP guests of PULSE to enjoy a first-look at exhibitions and special projects. Guests will be invited to experience an interactive augmented reality installation by Amir Baradaran presented by Morgan Stanley and will enjoy refreshments courtesy of FIOL, PULSE’s Official Bubby Sponsor. VIP car service will be available during the Private Preview Brunch, Opening Celebration, and Sunset Celebration to and from Indian Beach Park courtesy of Official Automotive Sponsor Cadillac with a special South Beach pick-up and drop-off point at Shore Club, 1901 Collins Avenue.
Immediately following the Private Preview Brunch, PULSE will officially open to the public at 4pm on December 1 with an Opening Celebration featuring music, performance art and a PERSPECTIVES panel discussion. Hyperallergic, the art world’s trusted resource for critical discourse, partners with PULSE to present PERSPECTIVES talks at PULSE Miami Beach 2015 and at PULSE New York in 2016. Spectacle, Spector and Performance, moderated by Hyperallergic founder and editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian, will be the first panel in this series bringing PLAY curator Stacy Engman and artists Kalup Linzy, Kate Durbin and Amir Baradaran into conversation. Performance artist Kate Durbin will bring to life an interactive piece entitled Hello Selfie! courtesy of TRANSFER gallery. Celebrated multi-disciplinary artist and recent New York Foundation of the Arts fellowship awardee Kalup Linzy will also debut Season 2 of his satirical art industry soap opera, As the Art World Might Turn. The evening will culminate with Linzy performing as Kaye, a singer and video artist who soul searches and simultaneously creates work about love, relationships, and family.
