If Miami Is Sinking Then We’re Going down Too
We joined forces with de Pury de Pury, Goga Ashkenazi, Hossein Rezvani, and Virginia Black last night to launch our one-of-a-kind "Weather Patterns" exhibition in Miami
Miami might be sinking beneath the sea (look to our upcoming Severity Issue for more details) but last night the city's buoyancy was sky-high as we joined with [de Pury de Pury](http://depurydepury.com/) and [Goga Ashkenazi](http://www.vionnet.com/) to launch our one-of-a-kind "Weather Patterns" exhibition.
With a crowd of art world luminaries and the chicest Miami folk we took to the [Frank Gehry](http://www.foga.com/)\-designed [New World Center Performance Hall](https://www.nws.edu/new-world-center/rent-new-world-center/performance-hall/) at Miami Beach for an exhibition that showcased visionary video works by artists: [Marina Abramović](http://marinaabramovicinstitute.org/), [Doug Aitken](http://www.dougaitkenworkshop.com/), [Ed Atkins](https://www.gavinbrown.biz/artists/ed_atkins/exhibitions), [Darren Almond](http://whitecube.com/artists/darren_almond/), [Heike Baranowsky](http://www.heikebaranowsky.de/), [Jonathan Horowitz](http://jonathanhorowitz.us/), [Antti Laitinen](http://www.anttilaitinen.com/), [Jon Rafman](http://jonrafman.com/), [Rachel Rose](http://www.pilarcorrias.com/artists/rachel-rose/), [Tomás Saraceno](http://tomassaraceno.com/), [Fiona Tan](http://www.fionatan.nl/), and [Wolfgang Tillmans](http://tillmans.co.uk/).
With sublime cocktails to sip on, courtesy of [Virginia Black](http://virginiablackwhiskey.com/), we both kicked back, then kicked shoes off, to dance all night to performances by [Viktoria Modesta](http://www.viktoriamodesta.com/), and [Damian Lazarus](http://damianlazarus.com/), in the sumptuous setting that was enriched with an installation of one of [Hossein Rezvani](http://hosseinrezvani.com/)'s fabulous art rugs, accompanied by a film of Rezvani interpreting our special limited-edition Severity Issue art cover (by photographer [Sebastian Copeland](http://sebastiancopelandadventures.com/)) into an objet d'art.
As the pastel sunset crossed the dark night, and the dawn lifted from the rising, rising, oh'o-Miami-the-sea-is-rising, Atlantic Ocean, we got ready for the pending Art Basel Miami fair, which may keep the tides at bay, yet is sure to drown in fabulous once again in 2016.
