Tonight I was very fortunate to attend the exclusive preview of Smell The Magic, a pop-up solo exhibition by Canadian artist Kris Knight hosted by the extraordinary GUCCI Creative director Frida Giannini at Spinello Projects in the Miami Design District.
This private cocktail party was indeed a wonderful kick off for Miami Art Week 2014 and also coincided with the release of Knight’s first published catalog.
Frida Giannini, who referenced Knight’s paintings as inspiration for Gucci’s Fall-Winter 2014 Collection, was joined by Kris Knight and other notable guests from the worlds of design, art and fashion at this private cocktail reception.
Spinello Projects is a Miami-based contemporary art program founded in 2005 by Anthony Spinello. The gallery supports and promotes the work of artists with unorthodox and experimental practices. Its mission: to initiate fundamental changes in Miami’s visual landscape and to present new aesthetic challenges to a broader global viewership.
Make sure to add this exhibition to your Miami Art Week “must see” list!
Here are a few pics from this cool event…
