Thinking about Miami Art Week yet? Untitled, Art is gearing up and has announced its 2018 exhibitors for seventh edition in Miami Beach. The fair will take place December 5 – 9, 2018 on the beach at Ocean Drive and 12th Street. Holding near steady from last year, the 2018 edition will present around 133 international exhibitors from 29 countries and 55 cities. Around 35% of the galleries are new and hail from around the world including Ghana, Greece, Italy, Peru, Switzerland, Zimbabwe as well as Europe, Latin America and North America.

Untitled, Art has become a must-see on the Miami art fair circuit. Untitled Art departs from the standard art fair model by selecting a curatorial team to identify and curate a selection of galleries, artist-run exhibition spaces and non-profit institutions and organizations that converses with a site-specific, architecturally designed venue. Last year, visitors were greeted by an experiential installation by Carlos Cruz-Diez set on the sand, presented by SCAD. Walking around and inside the installation, allowed for a personal connection with color theory. His art continued inside as one of the first presentations visitors encountered.

Untitled, Art is a curated fair that includes selections of emerging, established and historical artists. For 2018, the fair’s Artistic Director, Omar Lopez-Chahoud, under the direction of Executive Director, Manuela Mozo, worked with AGUAS, an artist-run curatorial platform to curate a cohesive presentation of distinctive works and artist projects.
