Art Basel’s show in Miami Beach returns this December for its 16th edition, with 268 leading international galleries, drawn from 32 countries across North + South America, Europe, Asia + Africa. In addition to showing premier artworks ranging from Modern masters to the latest contemporary pieces across five gallery sectors, many galleries will present works in Art Basel’s project-based sectors: Kabinett, Public + Film. Further, our daily Conversations series presents extensive discussions that explore key issues in today’s artworld.

The program will begin on Thursday, December 7 with the Premiere Artist Talk with Charles Gaines who will have a site-specific commission at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Miami and discuss his work with Bryan Stevenson. Further artist talks will take place throughout the week, including a discussion with Lars Jan, and Isaac Julien  on how artists respond to climate change through their practices, and Yto Barrada, and Daniel Knorr in conversation with Philipp Kaiser, Curator of Art Basel’s Public sector, on art in public territories.
