SPONSORED BY VICEROY MIAMI, ART VICEROY FEATURES WORKS BY 30 SOLO ARTISTS AND OCCUPIES A FULL PRIVATE FLOOR OF THE HOTEL. THE EXHIBITION WILL BE CELEBRATED AND PROGRAMMED WITH SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, INCLUDING CURATORS' TOURS, ART MAGAZINE RECEPTIONS, AND NON-PROFIT FUNDRAISERS. THERE WILL BE A COLLECTORS' LOUNGE WITH COFFEE AND EXHIBITION MATERIALS PROVIDED FOR VISITORS.
ART VICEROY PROVIDES CONTEMPORARY ART CURATORS AND ARTISTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE BOLD AESTHETIC STATEMENTS WITHIN AN INTIMATE SETTING. EACH ROOM OF THE 19TH FLOOR WILL FEATURE A SOLO ARTIST'S INSTALLATION, FORMULATED AROUND THE CONTEXT, ARCHITECTURE, AND SOCIAL SPACE OF THE HOTEL.
BECAUSE ART VICEROY IS NOT A FAIR, ITS CURATORS AND ARTISTS ARE FREE TO CREATE DIALOGUES AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN, AND ART. UNLIKE THE COMMERCIAL ART CONTEXT, ART VICEROY ALLOWS VIEWERS TO ACTIVELY EXPERIENCE EACH ROOM AS A CRITICAL LOCALE REPRESENTING INDEPENDENT CURATORIAL AND ARTISTIC PRACTICES.
