More eye candy from Art Basel Miami Beach by photographer Andy Pixel, who also provides the captions. (Here's yesterday's batch.)

Doug Aitken's last blast (2008), neon-lit lightbox (duratran mounted to plexi in aluminum lightbox)

Liz Craft's Black Widow (2000) is paint of fiberglass, represented by Patrick Painter, Santa Monica. This spider was huge and incredibly creepy. Its legs were curled and splayed in a very dead bug kind of way, only above one's head.

Los Carpinteros's Estanteria III (2008), plywood and maple veneer finish; a replica of the ubiquitous IKEA bookcase, bowed out on one side as if with the Photoshop "punch" filter.

Gabriel Kuri's Mexican grocery receipts, replicated in tapestries (represented by kurimanzutto, Mexico).

Evan Penny's Murray, variation #3 (2008), silicone, pigment, hair, aluminum (Sperone Westwater, New York). I'd been wanting to see an Evan Penny piece in person for so long. Reality does not disapoint. This piece transcends the "uncanny valley" that plagues CG humans these days. The thing looks real. The transluscence of the skin, the glistening of the eyeballs, the pores, the nose hairs... Outstanding. This is by far my favorite piece of the fair.

Yours truly, photo by Ingo Pixel. We went to the Bridge Art Fair after-party. In 2006, this was held at the Catalina lounge and was one of our favorite parties. This year it was held at the Dream nightclub on Washington Avenue and was totally Miami-fied. $12 cocktails, horrible dance music, and all the tables required bottle service reservations. I was denied entry at the door because I was wearing shorts. I was representing Chris Jones of Like a Rock Star in Seattle, who assembled all my ABMB outfits for me this year, and it took escalation to two managers before they agreed to bend the dress code rules and let me in. We did not stay long, even after this hard-won battle.
