The streets of Miami and its beaches are already transformed by the imminent arrival of Art Basel Miami Beach, the largest gallery gathering celebrating its 20th anniversary on the American side of the Atlantic. The fair has had such a huge impact on the local art scene that it has lit up the Miami Art Week: a week of constant activities. In 2022, another 20 satellite samples and more than 60 exhibitions and events will be able to be seen in museums and other cultural spaces.
This small selection brings together some key stops on this extensive cultural route that each year attracts tens of thousands of collectors, curators and enthusiasts to the south of the Florida.
“Togheter, at the Same Time”, De la Cruz Collection
“Our annual exhibitions represent the history of the collection and review the works in the context of the moment,” they explained. Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz it’s a statement. The story began in the late 1980s, or perhaps the late 1950s in Havana, when the De la Cruz’s met as teenagers: she was the daughter of an architect, he belonged to a family of collectors. Since they got married in 1962 they shared their passion for contemporary art and in the late 80’s they opened their house to the public, by appointment, to show the collection they started.
Currently the museum that contains it is 30,000 square feet (almost 2,800 square meters) and is located in the Design District.
“This year’s exhibition, Together, at the same time” brings together paintings, sculptures and site-specific installations from our private collection,” the CC1 Companies businessman and his wife added in the statement. This is the complete list of artists that can be seen there:

“Alexandre Diop: 2022 Artist-in-Residence”, Rubell Museum
Another family collection, which began more than half a century ago when Don Rubell —then a medical student— and his wife mere —a Head Start teacher—purchased their first work after visiting an artist’s studio and agreeing to a weekly installment payment plan. That happened in 1965, and since then they have amassed one of the largest displays of contemporary art in the world, currently numbering more than 7,200 works. Since 1993 they opened the museum and there is the sample Alexandre Diop: 2022 Artist-in-Residencewhich they prepared for the art week.
The Franco-Senegalese artist, chosen by the Knight Foundation As an artist in residence, she works with thrown away objects to transfigure them into works that spark conversations about culture, gender, and socio-politics. Emigrated to Vienna, Diop grafts his African and European roots into a creative nursery that deals with varied themes such as ancestry and colonialism, the diaspora and historical violence.
His exhibition will be open until November 2023 and has a catalog prefaced by Maria Niang.
Other exhibits that could be seen at the Rubell during art week include these artists: Patricia Ayres, Doron Langberg, Jared McGriff, Jo Messer, Clayton Schiff Y Tesfay Urgessa. And, of course, also the public favorites: by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jammie Holmes, Yoshitomo Nara and Sterling Ruby, among others.
Where: Rubell Museum, 1100 NW 23rd St, Miami.
When: Monday 28, 10am-3:00pm; November 29 and 30 and December 1 and 4, 10am-5:30pm; December 2 and 3, 10am-7:30pm.
