Art and design fuse with music and libations over Art Basel at this year’s Loews Miami Beach Hotel Art Collective. The renowned South Beach resort, home to an expansive collection of multi-medium works of art, brings together artists and experiences for a series of unique activations that capture the spirit of Art Basel and Miami Beach.
As part of this year’s collective, Loews Miami Beach Hotel welcomes Miami’s own Maguns Sodamin as official Artist in Residence. Sodamin’s lush nature inspired paintings explore changing global narratives through spiritual inquiry and spontaneous creativity. His vibrant works are full of energetic gestures that are both joyful and turbulent, indicative of his passionate sense, awe and quiet reverence of nature.
Maguns Sodamin’s mural “Reflections of Florida Wild” can be seen on display at the hotel’s front drive as part of the City of Miami Beach’s No Vacancy Temporary Public Arts Project. Additional works will be showcased throughout the hotel lobby through December 5, 2022.
As official host hotel for SCOPE Miami Beach, visitors will get a preview of what to expect with a bespoke installation by internationally renowned installation artist, Jen Lewin. Lewin’s “Chandelier Harp” is an interactive instrument played by passing your hand, arm, leg or body through the low voltage lasers that shine to the ground. Visitors can play within the sculpture and create their individual symphonies of sound through December 5, 2022. Other works by Lewin can be seen at SCOPE contemporary art pavilion, located on Ocean Drive and 8th street.
Additional Art Basel events include the hotel’s Team Member Art Showcase, featuring original works by Loews Miami Beach Hotel’s talented staff, meet and greets with Sodamin and Lewin, in addition to daily art-infused activations with premium spirits brands.
