Basel Week Preview: Aqua, Context and Art Miami

Spawned under the Art Miami umbrella, Aqua, Context and Art Miami are three Basel Week sister fairs with distinct personalities. At Aqua, Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea, hailing from Milan, offers a wide range of artists who will be familiar to readers of Hi-Fructose. Ryan Heshka's pulp novel-inspired paintings will hang next to Mike Giant's crisp ink drawings and Anthony Ausgang's perversions of the cartoon vernacular. At Context, Seamus Conley's works take viewers into icy tundras at Andrea Schwartz Gallery's booth while Gary Baseman invites us into a mythical forest with Shulamit Gallery. Gustavo Lacerda's poignant, photographic portraits of people with albinism will be at Catherine Edelman Gallery's booth at Art Miami. Take a look at our preview and stay tuned for one last sneak peek of Basel Week on Friday before he head to Miami next week.

Ever want to sleep at a museum? Neither did we, until we went to 21c. We recently stayed at the 21c Art Museum Hotel in St.Louis as well as the 21c in Bentonville, Arkansas and had the best time. 21c locations combine actual contemporary art museum gallery exhibitions which are free and open to the general public. Read our hifructos.ecom exclusive interview with 21c's curator Alice Gray Stites by clicking above.
Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time. They are made of hundreds of parts; intricate, yet, when those parts are viewed from a distance, are smooth and cohesive. We’ve asked the artist to delve into his process and themes and a bit of his background as an artist. Click the image above to read our Hi-Fructose exclusive with the artist
We’re happy to announce that Roq La Rue Gallery will be hosting our 2025 Hi-Fructose Invitational in Seattle on June 7th.

Look for more info on previews and artist list soon.
(Above: Drone photo by stephan pruitt/fiasco media) We are living in even stranger times. While fires are ravaging Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, affecting many of our friends and collaborators, the scores of artists in Asheville affected by Hurricane Helene in December are still reeling from the loss of their homes and studios. To provide support, Bender Gallery has organized an art show with their local artists to support the River Arts District. Click above to read all about it and see a few works on display.
